Can't upload due to conflicts, but conflict list is empty

[augustus.kling@…]

When I try to upload I get a message box stating “There are unresolved conflicts in layer 'Data Layer 1'. You have to resolve them first”. Before this I synchronized the entire dataset when requested to do so on failed upload.

However opening the conflict list (sidebar panel) does not show any conflicts. Right-clicking the data layer and selecting “Dataset consistency test” gives the following message:
{Way id=48343709 version=2 MVDd nodes=[]} not found using Dataset.searchWays()
{Way id=48343710 version=1 MVDd nodes=[]} not found using Dataset.searchWays()

When trying to save to a file for further investigation JOSM tells that it would not save conflicts and reject them instead. After rejecting the conflicts this way uploading is still not possible (and the conflict list remains empty).

After reopening the file (conflicts rejected on save) and syncing again, I received an other conflict (probably unrelated to the ones described above). This time the conflict was listed in the conflict list and could be resolved and the data could be uploaded.

This leaves some issues:

• Why does JOSM complain about conflicts while presenting an empty conflict list?
  
• I there a way to provide debugging information? Possibly listing stack traces of exceptions in “Status Report” window in help menu or a log file. Usually I don't start JOSM from a console and thus cannot see its error output.
  
• The wording “reject” when trying to save may be not clear to the user. I guess ignoring servers version and using own version would be clearer.

Some system information (in case they are needed). These information were gathered after successful upload as described. I guess it would make sense to also include the operating system in the following output. Mine is Ubuntu 9.10.

Have a look at #4406. First open the conflict-list (sidebar) and then merge/update. Maybe it works this way (did it for me)

These bugs seem to be unrelated.

In my case the problem was that the ​ConflictListDialog was empty although a conflict existed. Therefore I could not open the ​ConflictDialog to resolve the conflict.

I could resolve conflicts at other times so I guess the bug has something to do with the loaded data. Unfortunately it is not possible in JOSM to save files containing conflicts to examine further. I should also have mentioned that I made heavy use of the WMS and validator plugin (do they affect JOSM's internal storage of data?).

(In [2880]) Fixed #4411 Can't upload due to conflicts, but conflict list is empty

Problem was that the conflict list dialog wasn't updated if it was shown after conflicts were created. The dataset consistency test warning was false alarm (fixed in r2879).

Thanks for fixing this.
