HI Zren, thank you for this widget.

I installed it from the KDE store and tried immediately to add my repos like in the following picture.

Sadly, the widget is showing only this (I guess) "placeholder" string as in the following image: I tired many times refreshing the widget and adding other repositories with more issues (wrt my repos) (both closed and open) but nothing seems to change.

Could this be a problem related to Github APIs, maybe?

Thank you for your attention.

Looks like when I cleaned up the branch for a final release, I didn't make sure I filtered out whitespace.

So delete extra whitespace / newlines in the repo list text area. I'll patch in it the next version.

Hi Zren, thank you for your help.

Here the steps that I made:

1. I deleted extra whistespaces and newlines as you suggested: nothing changed
2. I inserted only one repo of mine to avoid as many errors as possible: the widget page was now blank (like screenshot below).
3. I tired to insert your repo and refresh many times:

and now nothing appears:

Thank you for your patience, let me know if I'm unclear or if you need additional details

What happens if you edit ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/com.github.zren.githubissues/contents/ui/Main.qml and uncomment showDebug: true

From:

Logger {
    id: logger
    name: 'githubissues'
    // showDebug: true
}

To:

Logger {
    id: logger
    name: 'githubissues'
    showDebug: true
}

Then run:

QT_LOGGING_RULES="qml.debug=true" plasmawindowed com.github.zren.githubissues

It will normally show:

qml: [githubissues:debug] Async.parallel.done null 1

but I assume null will be an error in your case. I haven't gotten around to showing an error in the widget's GUI.

Ok Zren, done and solved.

I remembered something related to the User Agent in the Plasma Settings: in fact I had the "Send Identification" disabled, that's why the problem on the User Agent.

Now everything works and all my repos are correctly fetched, sorry if I wasted your time with these silly things. I'll vote your Plasmoid on the KDE Store ASAP, maybe it's not so much but it's a way to thank you.

Finally, thank you again for your work: I love your plasmoids and I'd like to add them to my Look-And-Feel themes as dependencies, obviously while giving you all the credit you deserve.

Let me know if you don't want to or you have special requests to make!

Have a nice Sunday!

Todo: Parse ~/.config/kio_httprc and show a warning if not:

SendUserAgent=true
UserAgentKeys=:om

• SendUserAgent=false is when "Send Identity" is unchecked.
• UserAgentKeys=:m is when "Send OS" is unchecked (and machine/processor is checked but disabled)
