#31 Password/Login Routine Has Serious Problems

[Anonymous]

(I have posted these comments on two other bugs reports, but am
submitting this as new - with added information - because the
previous bug reports were dated 2005.)

As detailed by others before, there are problems with this app when
logging in. Some people are experiencing blank databases and failure
to update their online account. I experience the same problem, as I did
when I tried this app several months ago. I log in with name and
password and see no bookmarks. I add bookmarks to Cocoalicious but
they aren't added to my del.icio.us account. I quit the app, ran it again,
relogged in, same problem. This time I edited the locally added
bookmarks to submit changes, but the edits were not uploaded. I quit
the app, relaunched, and relogged in again and this time was greeted
with all my online bookmarks, but the new ones I had added were no
longer there. I *was* typing my password in correctly.

To test my password, I quit the app after successfully connecting and
relaunched it. I tried to log in with a false password. Even though I had
chosen to NOT automatically log in the password field still showed my
old password was rememberd. Typing in a false password still logged
me into my account!! Quit, relaunch, and now the password field is
empty. Typing in a false password still logs me into my account.

Deleted plist and cocoalicious.app in my application support folder.
Relaunched app, relogged in with false password. Cocoalicious loads
with no bookmarks.

My guess: The password routine is borked. Some people are
encountering this the first time where del.icio.us thinks a blank value
or erroneous value is the password instead of the one typed in, then
loads blank. Other people get lucky the first time and think they are
successfully typing in their password over and over again when the app
in reality ignores what they type because the password is actually
stored in the plist already. Is it possible I mistyped my password over
and over again? Possible, but not probable. Besides, that wouldn't
account for being able to "log in" with a false password.

Quick Fix: Delete the support file and the plist file. Then relaunch the
app and log in again. It is possible you typoed your first password
attempt which was then stored. Any further attempts to type the
password in are futile because the first error is recorded as your
password even if you have chosen for the app to not remember your
login data.

Just tried this app again with my new Mac mini. Same problems. Here's my console data:

I have the exact same problem. Furthermore, the fix mentioned above doesn't work for me. I tried shutting down the app, then deleting the ~/Library/Application Support/Cocoalicious/ directory (which was empty) and the file ~/Library/Preferences/com.scifihifi.Cocoalicious.plist. After restarting Cocoalicious, I re-entered my username and password (cutting and pasting from the keychain to make sure there was no mistake). I still get a blank database.

Here is my hardware info

Here is the output of "uname -a":

I am running OS X 10.4.8

Here is an example console error that I get, which seems identical to the previous poster's

2006-12-21 11:53:10.335 Cocoalicious[29640] NSError "Error NSURLErrorDomain -1012" Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1012 UserInfo={

2006-12-21 11:53:10.336 Cocoalicious[29640] can't reload from disk or del.icio.us

A fix would be greatly appreciated. I wonder if the problem might be due to non-alphanumeric characters in the password, which are not being correctly escaped somewhere?
