Sync with what's already submitted to the AoC server

[daxhuiberts]

First of all, this is a fantastic little tool I just found! Thanks for creating this!

I've already completed the first day and manually submitted the answers and only then installed this tool. But now I don't know how to get the local cache to be in sync with what's already submitted to the server. I'm not able to submit an already submitted answer. Any ideas on how to get this in sync?

@daxhuiberts glad to hear you find it useful!

So aocf has an internal state machine, which tracks the status of each problem locally, without any syncing. Once it receives a successful response from the server the state is updated.

You could edit the day caches under .aocf manually to update the reporting, is one option.

The Aoc type has an advance method, which is not broken out into the CLI. I guess that could be a useful thing to have, based on this issue.

But syncing would be a very useful feature to have, too. The state machine approach is clearly quite fallible, and it is entirely possible that it could get out of sync.

Hmm, thinking about it, it might be possible to use the leaderboard API for this

Thank you for your answer. After finishing the 2nd day I figured out the structure to use to manually fix the 1st day.
