[Early Preview] Studio Script Sync

[DevelopmentDeadline]

Thanks for taking the time to break this down for us. Really sorry to hear you’re having problems! Let’s work together to see if we can get to the bottom of what’s going on

I’ve been having a weird issue with script syncing where sometimes I’ll save the file on my computer, and then in Studio I see an error like this:

  19:30:40.441  Can't sync ServerScriptService.Soccer.game.Client.UI.Playerlist.PlayerlistTeam to disk at //192.168.0.8/dev/soccer/PlayerlistTeam.luau: File not found  -  Studio

This error is used when the file the script is syncing to is no longer present. Can you confirm you are not deleting, moving or renaming the file on your disk? It sounds from your message the answer is ‘no’, but I wanted to triple check. What happens when you do right click > show synced file location?

@unroot

An important detail maybe worth noting is I’m saving these files to a shared network drive, though I was having these issues when saving directly to disk as well.

Thanks for calling this out! Syncing to a networked drive introduces a new challenge, as we have additional latency in the system. However, that doesn’t explain the error you are seeing here or why it also happens when you aren’t using a networked drive.

Out of curiosity - can you clarify your use case for syncing to a networked drive?

@unroot

These problems persist even after restarting Studio, and attempting to delete the files through the Studio prompt results in the files not actually being deleted. Sometimes when I try to rejoin the same team create session after crashing, I’ll crash on join and get this error on the next try:

This is concerning and something we definitely want to debug. I’m going to start a DM thread on the DevForum with you. Can you please reply to that thread with your crash dump and log files.

Beyond this - any other information you have is helpful. What application you are using to save these files, the contents of these files, whether it’s the same script each time etc.

Thanks in advance for working with us on this!
