localsearch seems broken with mkdocs-material 7.0.0 update

[renoger]

Hi @wilhelmer,

Thanks for your continued support on the plugin!

I´ve updated to localsearch 0.8.0 and followed your guidance (added {{ super() }} in the custom main.html). Since I´ve updated to material 7.0.0 (and 7.0.1) the localsearch is not working for me anymore. The search-index is created but the search box doesn´t open when active:

It works fine with material 6.2.8 and the identical configuration though:

I wonder if it breaks due to the changes in base.html or general architectural oberhaul of material v7. Any idea what I´m missing or how I can debug?

Thanks René

Did you customize your header? If so, you must update your header.html to Material's latest version (see https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/blob/master/material/partials/header.html).

I previously used a custom header, but not anymore. To make sure I don´t overwrite anything I removed the whole partials folder and left the main.html as my only custom file. But it doesn´t affect the issue.

I tested it with the beta, not with the final version. I'll look into it later, thanks for reporting.

Good point, I was just checking 7.0.0b1 and 7.0.0b2 which worked fine. So please check if you see the same behaviour with the final version (which is 7.0.2 by now, also not working for me). Thanks!

@squidfunk Did you change anything here between v7 beta and final? I can see __search is being fulfilled correctly, but search doesn't work, as described above.

[squidfunk]

Should work. Could you file an issue with a reproducible example?

[wilhelmer]

Done, thanks for your help.

Fixed in MkDocs Material 7.0.4.
