First of all - thanks for reporting.

Now, I need to ask - why do you use SVN together with upload-on-save feature? Mixing these together does not make much sense to me. Any SCM is preferred, of course, so why don't you simply use SVN on both, on server and also on client? The upload-on-save feature could/should be used only if one cannot use any SCM.

Possible causes - well, if NetBeans deleted those files, then it _must_ be in the log - one log is for download action but there is one more log, for remote synchronization (upload-on-save feature). So my guess is that once you download a file, some "strange" (incorrect) event comes from FS (and the file is deleted), please review the other log (for remote synchronization) and verify that the delete operations are there.

Last and the most reliable thing that can be done is to start NetBeans with more detailed logging for (S)FTP [1] as well as for upload-on-save [2], the delete operations simply must be there. Please, do so, reopen this issue and attach (do _not_ copy & paste) the IDE log [2], it will be likely quite big so please compress it somehow (first verify that there are no sensitive information there). The log can also be sent to my private email, if you prefer.

Meantime, I will try to reproduce but as I said above, I don't see any valid reason for such setup.

Thanks a lot for your cooperation.

Reproduced, I will investigate more.

Really pleased you have managed to replicate the problem! I would help, but haven't coded in Java for years, and frankly haven't got the time!

I didn't really want to get into the reason I use this setup, as people do do things in different ways. But when I code I test and save it ALL the time, i.e. press F5 constantly in my browser. I do NOT want to have a load of commits for tiny little comments, into my version control, I want to develop for hours if not days, and THEN commit (obviously sometimes I commit quicker if they're small issue fixes), but this is the way I work.

So as my development code is live on a Linux system, and I code in Windows, I want to upload files on save (which Netbeans does nicely), and then test on the browser, carry on coding, etc, just by pressing CTL-S. Excellent, when I'm happy with a lot of my code I commit it. I don't want to check out in windows, code away commit, and then SVN update on the dev box all the time whilst coding, it slows me down!

Zend used to allow you to code directly on the server over SFTP without downloading the files locally to windows. It was actually quite fast. It seems Netbeans doesn't allow this, but this download, and upload on save seems a good compromise, and am happy with it. As you can understand, it randomly deleting files (this issue), is not really acceptable, and because I use SVN I haven't lost anything (yet).

As I said in my forum post, I switch computers to develop on (Laptop, and Desktop machine), quite a lot, and have to 'resync' my sources by downloading the code (which I'm fine with TBH!)

Anyways, hope you find a solution, and really happy you've managed to replicate it!

Tomas did you still want me to put in more debug information as you have managed to replicate the issue? I would have done it by now, but I am not sure on how you set the extra debug settings that you mentioned. Where are these values controlled?

with regards to how I want to use NetBeans I will open a forum discussion as maybe there is a better way and other ideas on how to use it, although I hope that this issue is simple to resolve!

thanks again.

Not needed since I'm able to (randomly) reproduce this issue.

> although I hope that this issue is simple to resolve!

Unfortunately, this is unlikely but definitely needs to be fixed for NB 7.1.

Thanks for reporting.

BTW I was able to reproduce it just once from 5 tries for exactly 1 file (downloading Mediawiki, about 1900 files).

Caused by upload-on-save since the download file events should be ignored but it seems that sometimes the event is not correctly recognized.

Will continue working on it.

It seems to happen every single time for, on about 3 - 7 different files. My SVN repo went down for the first time in years earlier, so I wasn't able to restore my files, so didn't want to do it again! How do I change those settings, so I can see if the deletes appear in my logs?

On a side note I actually didn't really realise how serious this could be to other developers (and myself actually), as this is destructive to code. I just read the guidelines on posting issues, and priority, and this might even fall into P1 (as it destroys code/files!). Only because I'm using svn can I work this way still!

The cause discovered, see issue #202728.

Now, I will try to work around it somehow.

Lado, it would be perfect if you could test it once it is work arounded.

Thanks.

Ok Tomas, just let me know when you found some workaround

Work arounded, please verify [1]. Thanks.

Hi there. Do you want me to use the latest version or the same version. I am no expert in Netbeans when it comes to updating or running beta/pre-release versions, etc, and all my updates have been applied, I am running version 7.0.1 build 201107282000. 

Tomas managed to replicate the issue on the build originally, with another project. I know my version is still showing the errors, but obviously I haven't upgraded with the patch in it.

Thanks, Martin

Yes please, try it with newer build, you can download it here:
http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/latest/

Thanks for help :)

Right, MediaWiki seems to be big enough to reproduce the problem.

> I know my version is still showing the errors, but obviously I haven't

Work around of this issue will be part of NB 7.1 (as you can see in the Target Milestone of this issue). The proper fix needs to done somewhere else (issue #202728).

(In reply to comment #14)
> Yes please, try it with newer build, you can download it here:

Please, rather use the latest development version of NetBeans [1] since I'm not sure whether the change is propagated to the daily build already.

Thanks.

I can confirm that in 7.1 beta this issue has not been resolved. Attached is a most recent Remote Log dump. Search for DELE and you will see that 4 files were deleted at random from the remote server.

I tried it on downloading mediawiki sources several times with FTP and SFTP and I can't reproduce it.


Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201111020600)
Ubuntu 11.04 32b

As I wrote in previous comment, I can't reproduce it. So for me it's verified.

I was also getting this rather peculiar error with Netbeans 7.0, so I downloaded the nightly build (since 201111140600), as suggested, and could not reproduce it anymore. However, once I downloaded and installed the 7.1 RC1 version, the error fired up again. PLEASE see that the change is merged into the final release 7.1!
Thank you.

Environment:
Netbeans 7.0, JDK 1.6.0.27, Windows 7 x64 - workstation
SLES 10 SP2, pure-ftp FTP server, LVM partition/ReiserFS volume for PHP - production server

Adding Jarda to CC since he has fixed issue #202728 which causes this problem.
Jardo, do you think that there could be any other use case when the issue can occur again?

Anyway, I will try to reproduce and find out where the problem could be. Any information how this problem can be reproduced is more than welcomed, of course.

Thanks.

Only logs can help I guess. Try -J-Dorg.netbeans.modules.masterfs.level=FINE

I also added a bit more logging [1].

So, please, anyone of you who can reliably reproduce, please help us.

1) start NB from command line with:
-J-Dorg.netbeans.modules.masterfs.level=FINE -J-Dorg.netbeans.modules.php.project.copysupport.level=FINE
2) reproduce this issue
3) attach IDE log [2] (perhaps as a ZIP since it will be huge) to this issue

Thanks a lot.

Unfortunately, I'm still getting the same issue. I've tested using NetBeans-dev-2012-01-10_15-05-14-php.zip
Thanks

I get this error as well and it caused me a lot of trouble so I've stopped using NetBeans for that project now. I didn't use any type of versioning control system. Currently getting this on version 7.1

Please vote for this bug, it's making Netbeans dangerous to work with!

Aargh!! The bug is still there in v7.1, I can confirm it. I have to change IDE also because of this as I've been struggling with the same problem lots of times.

Also getting this issue.

As I work on my projects from two locations (from home and from work), if files are deleted then development cannot continue for the rest of the 12 hour day.

I'm going to have to stop using NetBeans and find something else, as this is indeed, a very serious and dangerous issue!

Most dangerous bug ATM, got same issues as guys described earlier. It has already caused lots of trouble to me ;(

Hi,
I can confirm the same issue using Netbeans on Mac OS X Lion.
My configuration is quite traditional. SFTP with upload on save, to upload file on the remote web server and SVN client active.

Currently I had to move back to 7.0.1: with 7.1 I broke different project under development before understanding the reason. No loss of data (SVN and backups full available) but a lot of time spent to understand what was going on.

I've added more logging in ergonomics#a795d6686480. As soon as that change gets to your build, please regenerate the IDE log with:

-J-Dorg.netbeans.modules.masterfs.level=FINER
-J-Dorg.netbeans.modules.php.project.copysupport.level=FINER

Thanks.

Based on Jarda's last comment, we need new log files with improved logging. The changes should be available in the development version of NetBeans sometimes next week.

Please, reopen this issue and attach the log files.

Thanks.

I am realy affected by this issue as well both on Ubuntu 11.10 64bit as Windows 7 HP 64bit. I hope it get's fixed soon!

We can't fix it now since we are still waiting for new logs (see comment #40 and comment #41). So please reproduce this issue with FINE logging in the development version of NetBeans (detailed steps can be found in comment #25) and attach your log files here.

Thanks.

i am also affected by this bug.

i have regenerated the log files using the arguments
-J-Dorg.netbeans.modules.masterfs.level=FINER
-J-Dorg.netbeans.modules.php.project.copysupport.level=FINER

the attachment also includes the output from the "Remote Log" window and "Remote Synchronization" window

DELE vendor/symfony/src/Symfony/Component/DependencyInjection/Compiler/RepeatedPass.php
DELE vendor/symfony/src/Symfony/Component/Console/Formatter/OutputFormatter.php

they can be spotted relatively easy by searching in the remote synch log for lines starting with DELE (and not ending in .old)

Jardo, it seems that we have new logs as you have requested.

Thanks.

grep zh_Hant.res from all log files

A file "zh_Hant.res.0.nblh~" seems to be appearing and disappearing. Who can create/remote file with this extension.

I think I got it. The ".nblh" files are created by NetBeans local history module. The module does file.renameTo before save to a file and thus it may happen that file.lastModified will return 0 at the moment. This explains the "fileDeletedEvent" and also why it happens only on Windows (on Unixes the behavior is different).

There were 2 separate issues here, both should be fixed now. Please,if possible, download the development version [1] of NetBeans and verify.

I tried couple of times to edit local files, save them (with upload-on-save) and download them again. No files were deleted so VERIFYING, please reopen if you encounter it again.

risky.

btw - a workaround would be to set a switch 
-J-Dnetbeans.localhistory.storeChangesSynchronously=true

Ok, fair enough ... users facing this problem should use the switch above, but we will not port this back to patch2. Thanks Tomas.

Noob question: how do i set this switch?

Simply start NB from command line and provide this parameter or add it to your <nbdir>/etc/netbeans.conf (add it to the "netbeans_default_options" property).
