Filesync troubleshooting
When using filesync with the Frontastic CLI and a Frontastic sandbox, you can run into a few issues.
Our CLI will let you know of any filesync issues on your dashboard after running frontastic run
. For example:

Once you've opened the filesync issue list in the Frontastic CLI (press f
) you'll see a list of the files that are encountering issues trying to sync. Use the arrow keys to select a file to find out more information about an issue in the bottom of your screen, for example:

The 3 main issues you're likely to encounter are explained below.
Unknown content encountered on disk
If you see this issue, you should delete the folder in the location mentioned and this should resolve the filesync issues.
Conflict
If you see this issue, it could be due to a conflict in the yarn.lock
, package.json
, composer.json
, or composer.lock
file. To resolve this issue in any of these cases, you'll need to delete the version of the file that you don't want to have (so either the local version or the remote server version).
client/daemon version mismatch
After upgrading to a recent CLI version, you may get the below filesync error:
Err! could not connect to daemon: client/daemon version mismatch (daemon restart recommended)
To resolve this issue, delete the whole .frontastic
folder and then run frontastic init
.
Refresh Frontastic CLI
If you delete a file that's causing your filesync issue but the issue is still being shown in the Frontastic CLI filesync issue log, press r
to force a refresh of the synchronization state.
