Cannot restore from backup. Missing file

[ggrrll]

Hi,

thanks for the nice app.

However, I recently couldn't run it anymore due to this error message:

Cannot restore from backup. Missing file: /Applications/Slack.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar.unpacked/src/static/ssb-interop-lite.js.mwsbak

Any idea? - Thanks

The script detects that you have installed math-with-slack, but it can't find the backup file it always creates when installing. Two ways to solve this:

1. Manually open "ssb-interop-lite.js" and remove the three lines at the end that reads:

   // ** math-with-slack $MWS_VERSION ** https://github.com/fsavje/math-with-slack
   var mwsp = path.join(__dirname, 'math-with-slack.js').replace('app.asar', 'app.asar.unpacked');
   require('fs').readFile(mwsp, 'utf8', (e, r) => { if (e) { throw e; } else { eval(r); } });

2. Re-install the Slack app from scratch.

Hope that helps.

Are you using slack-desktop v3.0.0, released just a few days ago? It breaks the script because the -lite file is gone.

See my pull request.

(A quick fix is to comment-out the two lines with -lite.)

@jeanluct it worked, thanks
