Flatpak update check error

[marvasDE]

When I install the arch-update-checker, it checks for updates forever. Also, the mini program shows the following error message:

Error code: 0
Error:Fehler: Ungültige Kennung : Name darf nicht leer sein
sed: -e Ausdruck #1, Zeichen 0: Kein vorheriger regulärer Ausdruck

(german error message)

If I set the default value of flatpakEnabled to false via main.xml, the arch-update-checker starts without issues. If I enable flatpak in the settings, I get the same error and endless loading again.

Flatpak is installed and currently there are 0 updates available. I use the current version 0.7.5 of the arch-update-checker from Github.

5 and #4 had the same issues please confirm it's not the same problem.

This was fixed in the latest release anyways. Please update and let me know if it happens.

As I said, I already use the latest version (this main branch, tag v0.7.5) It realy looks like #5, but I would like to use Flatpak and I have Flatpak packages installed (but none of them have updates right now).

From #5:

Until then you can use the applet with flatpak disabled

Disabling a feature does not seem to be a solution for a feature, isn't it? :)

Unfortunately, this behavior is difficult to test for me since I would have to clone your setup. Can you run this command and paste the output here?

upd=$(flatpak remote-ls --columns=name,application,version --app --updates | \
    sed 's/ /-/g' | sed 's/\t/ /g')
    output=""
    if [ -n "$upd" ]; then
        while IFS= read -r app; do
            id=$(echo "$app" | awk '{print $2}')
            ver=$(flatpak info "$id" | grep "Version:" | awk '{print $2}')
            output+="$(echo "$app $ver\n")"
        done <<< "$upd"
    fi
    echo -en "$output"

Also for

flatpak remote-ls --columns=name,application,version --app --updates

Edit: I am still skeptical of the update you have made. Did you restart the plasmashell after updating?

[marvasDE]

Both commands outputs nothing.

Thank you! It was right to be skeptical. No, I didn't restart and this seems to fix the issue.

It's weird, because I made changes like changing the main.xml and they were applied. I tried plasmapkg2 -u . and also plasmapkg2 -r . + plasmapkg2 -i . and nothing fixed the issue, but a restart? Why? 🥲

Originally I installed it via Plasma itself. Was this perhaps the problem?

[dhruv8sh]

Yes, just installing Applets does not update them. You need to restart plasmashell every time. Doesn't matter if you install it through Plasma or through plasmapkg2.
