[Bug]: File Versioning Not Working As Expected

[alperozturk96]

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️

• This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
• This issue is not already reported on Github OR Nextcloud Community Forum (I've searched it).
• Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
• I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.

Bug description

A different file version is not saved for each change made to the file. Therefore the user cannot use different file versions. For example, the user created a file and changed that file every day, at the end of 30 days, when we look at the versions of that file, 30 different file versions do not appear.

Note: "versions_retention_obligation" -> "disabled"

Steps to reproduce

1. Create file
2. Edit that file in different time periods such as 1 min later 1 hour later 2 hours later 3 hours later and 3 days later
3. You can't able to see all file versions

Expected behavior

The file version should be saved according to the desired range.

@alperozturk96 are the versions not created, or are they deleted by the expire process?

I don't have idea about expire process. In my local environment, versions are not created properly as well. I didn't set any expiration limit.

versions are not created properly

So when you edit the file and check the list of versions straight away, there is no new version created?

Nope. I created file. 1 min later I update same file its okay. Then 3 minute later I did same thing a new file version is created as well no problem. 3 hours later again no problem. But at some point if you keep edit same file, a new file version is not exist for that specific time, its just skipping it.

The problem is still there in Nextcloud 29.0.6.

We did a test with a new Microsoft Word document (created with Office Online against Microsoft Office Online server), editing it once every day for 7 days.

After this test and 7 days only 5 versions is available, the versions from day 1 and day 2 is missing.
