flutter-snippets doesn't show in Espanso Hub

[smeech]

https://hub.espanso.org/calc-macos, the page linked to from the topmost item in https://hub.espanso.org/search?t=math just shows a blank page rather than the package page like the rest I have viewed.

Following my recent interventions flutter-snippets also doesn't have a page either.
Is it possible to reindex the hub?

Is it possible to reindex the hub?

Mmmm I don't know... possibly, but I need to investigate how

Maybe @arabello can help? He's done most of the recent espanso/hub-frontend merges.

Hi guys, I gave it a quick look. My findings:

• There are two separated issues: calc-macos is present with an empty page. The flutter-snippets has no page at all, but most importantly is not even present in the hub release which hub-frontend gets the data from.
• calc-macos issue is at runtime, probably because something happen in the frontend and a top level component renders null. I will track this here calc-macos has no description tab hub-frontend#43 . I am not sure this is related to the absence of tags anymore Packages with no tags are ignored at build time hub-frontend#39: ignoring packages with no tags was a design choice and works at build time
• flutter-snippets case is curios as it seems that everything went throught: the package PR was merged > the hub pipeline updated the release > the hub pipeline notified hub-frontend pipeline > the hub-frontend pipeline built and publish the new app. Something broken, I guess during the second step and the new package might not have been considered for the new publication

I need more time to investigate both issues, I'll do it during the weekend and get back to you

Thank you.

For the flutter-snippets issue there was an inconsistency (I am not sure how) between #19 #117 #118 that causes the released hub's package_index.json to miss the flutter-snippets entry even if the package is present in the hub (files with manifest). The hub-frontend consequentially was built with no flutter-snippets page as it follows directly the package_index.json content.

The fastest mitigation is to locally run the update_index routine forcing the publishing (env var PUBLISH=true). Permissions might be required to consent the gh release upload command. WDYT? I can give it a try.

Note that the index update routine is launched only if there are missing packages between the released ones and the hub. This is why the last PR didn't trigger the index update. It might be considered to change the logic and let it update everytime as it should have idempotent result.

A reindex is the obvious thing to try, to force the hub to align with the package repo. There could be other packages with blank pages anyway - calc-macos was just the one I came across.

"idempotent" is a new word for me!

[arabello]

I don't have write permission to release the new package_index.json. Maybe @AucaCoyan can help?

The calc-macos issue was investigated and tracked at espanso/hub-frontend#43

Another one for the list: #129

Solved in espanso/hub-frontend#45 !
