Version 0.5 fails to parse tasks file (and refuses to launch) when a saved search's name and query matches exactly one of the tags #629

Did you go from 0.3 to 0.4 and then 0.5? It's a versioning thing, since we have a new file format. I didn't expect many people to still have the 0.3 style filenames :) Try this:
Try running gtg again |

Hi @diegogangl, thank you for your answer, I did what you mentioned, and started

That message is harmless since GTG isn't storing any passwords ATM. Is the window not coming up when you run the flatpak? |
Unfortunately not. But the message in the Terminal is a bit more verbose today: No window appears but a process is running in the background: |

Fixed! I had to delete a search query that was similar to a tag name. More details: The file The problem occurs only when the What I did precisely:
Thanks a lot @Neui for giving me the right direction! I let this ticket opened, as something may need to be fixed. Feel free to close if it's a corner case |

Aaah, so we may finally have found what was causing these issues? Might be when a saved search matches exactly the name of a tag (a bit similar maybe to what was found in #616 (comment) regarding dots/periods in tag names). Maybe @diegogangl can figure a way to detect and correct that... |

I experience similar behaviour in 0.5 when editing a tag name. I had a tag 'Open', which I changed to 'open' (i.e. changed the first letter to lower case). After closing GTG and running again it produced the errors seen in the comment above. Looking at |
Similar problem happened to me as well, and since then GTG won't start. |

Retitling (for clarity) + retagging + targetting this issue. High priority because it can prevent launch and is quite confusing when it happens, not "critical" because at least there is a workaround and the file format can be somewhat easily corrected by users. I suspect this will be one of the things Diego hopes to address as part of #553 so we'll need to keep an eye on this for whenever that lands. |

I have experience the same but deleting the saved search and same label tag did not work for me. It still shows the same error when launching in flatpak. I have fixed this by simply restoring backup. In which, it is weird that the backup still contains the similar tag with upper case problem, and save search, it launch |

This got me when I had similar named tags with capitalization differences and I changed one to match the other tag. I also added an icon to one or both of the tags. |
Hello there,
I was using GTG 0.4 with Flatpak and everything was going smoothly.
Today the new version (0.5) is running after an automatic update. Unfortunately, only the test tasks are showing now:
I think there's no data loss though, here is the treeview of
