Bug descriptionThe Nextcloud Desktop Finder integration gets stuck in an infinite loop during the login process when connected to a server instance.
Ein Deinstallieren des Clients bei aktiver VFS-Integration beschädigt zudem den macOS Finder, hinterlässt verwaiste Verzeichnisse in ~/Library/CloudStorage und der Seitenleiste, führt zu Kernel-Timeouts und blockiert den Papierkorb.
Steps to reproduceOpen Finder.Click on the Nextcloud location in the sidebar.Click "Log in" within the folder.The login process hangs indefinitely in an infinite loop.Steps Taken to Resolve the Issue (Manual Workaround)Zur Bereinigung und Entsperrung des Papierkorbs wurden folgende Terminal-Befehle ausgeführt:
killall -9 fileproviderd
pluginkit -e ignore -i com.nextcloud.desktopclient.FileProviderExt
mv ~/.Trash ~/.Trash_ALT
mkdir ~/.Trash
chmod 700 ~/.Trash
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/CloudStorage
killall Finder
Final ResolutionDas System normalisierte sich erst nach dem Wechsel zu einer Version ohne VFS; empfohlen wird der Downgrade auf Nextcloud Desktop v3.16.6 (Universal .pkg non-vfs) und die Nutzung der klassischen Ordnersynchronisation.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the login loop in Finder with the official macOS installer and VFS integration, recording the exact client and macOS versions. Compare the behavior with the reported v3.16.6 non-VFS client; done means Finder login completes, folders sync, and uninstalling does not leave broken CloudStorage entries or block the Trash.
