Decodable error on macOS Mojave

[slashmo]

When I'm running readnow on macOS Mojave some data can't be decoded. I've already given access to the application data as described in the README.

The exact error message is:

Error occured: The data couldn’t be read because it is missing.

Interesting, I have no clue where that's coming from 🙈 But since I've only ever tried this on my machine (Mojave Beta 6, Safari 12.0), I'm sure there's other configurations.

If you want to debug this further, you could build readnow from source and change the following line to not only output the localizedDescription. Hopefully that will lead to some more insight into where exactly this is failing 😅

readnow/Sources/readnow/main.swift

Line 15 in 11b7477

print("Error occurred: \(e.localizedDescription)")

Printing the entire error gives me this:

keyNotFound(CodingKeys(stringValue: "URLString", intValue: nil), Swift.DecodingError.Context(codingPath: [CodingKeys(stringValue: "Children", intValue: nil), _PlistKey(stringValue: "Index 4", intValue: 4), CodingKeys(stringValue: "Children", intValue: nil), _PlistKey(stringValue: "Index 0", intValue: 0)], debugDescription: "No value associated with key CodingKeys(stringValue: "URLString", intValue: nil) ("URLString").", underlyingError: nil))

Ah, so apparently URLString can be optional? No clue why, but in that case that should be updated I guess. Do you have any super weird entries on your reading list? 😄

[slashmo]

Nope, I deleted my entire reading list and got the same error. 😁

I just made Item.URLString optional, maybe that fixes things? Would you mind trying it out (it's on the branch fix-4) if you have time? 😊

[slashmo]

It didn't fix the tool for me, but at least there now is a different error message 😀

Error occurred: The operation couldn’t be completed. (Swift.String error 1.)
