After last night’s refresh I’m now running 2024.10.4. Attempting to update Nordpool, fmi-hass-custom and pytapo fail with:

Unable to install package nordpool==0.4.2: error: failed to create file `/snap/home-assistant-snap/637/.lock` Caused by: Permission denied (os error 13)
Unable to install package fmi-weather-client==0.4.0: error: failed to create file `/snap/home-assistant-snap/637/.lock` Caused by: Permission denied (os error 13)
Unable to install package pytapo==3.3.32: error: failed to create file `/snap/home-assistant-snap/637/.lock` Caused by: Permission denied (os error 13)

It’s apparently due some changes in core, as some people running HA inside a customized Docker have also suffered this.

In the previous latest/stable, updating Nordpool and FMI weather client failed with errors about pip’s version, so I had reverted those back to their earlier versions and put off retrying the updates until now. Pytapo could be a dependency of Tapo Camera Control, which also updated recently.

I can already guess the answer to this is ”no, because of how snap works”, but would it be possible for Wekan (installed as a snap) to use mongodb tools already installed on the host system? The reason I’m asking is that I’m running Unifi’s network application on the same non-AVX-capable host, and the installation script for it has added a mongodb repository patched to work without AVX, so that’s already covered.

Yeah, still not working for me either. Restarting HA snap just results in the same traceback getting logged as before.

Settings > Devices & services > HACS shows it’s up to date (or at least at that same version, 1.34.0). I can’t find a ”Configuration” or ”HACS update” view under the HACS service, only the one with related Service info, Automations and so on (possibly because HACS is ”Not loaded”, which is the issue).

I don’t know if the host system has any bearing on this, but mine is running Ubuntu 20.04, and I’ll happily provide any other info if needed.

There’s a bug report about this on Launchpad.

Issue

JSON files can be added to cards as attachments, but they are empty when downloaded from a card.

Server Setup Information

• Did you test in newest Wekan?: 5.90
• Did you configure root-url correctly so Wekan cards open correctly? yes
• Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04
• Deployment Method: snap
• Http frontend if any: Apache
• What webbrowser version are you using? Firefox (reproducible in Brave too)

Problem description

Reproduction Steps

1. Have a JSON file, such as the example from Wikipedia. Name it example.json.
2. Open a card in Wekan.
3. Select + from the Attachments section.
4. Select ”Computer” from the popup.
5. Select example.json.
6. With the JSON file now attached to the card, select to ”Download” it.
7. Open the downloaded JSON file.

What I expect to happen

For the downloaded file contents to match the uploaded file.

What happens instead

The file is empty.

Logs

Nothing in either the browser console nor snap logs when the issue is triggered.

Other info

• Deleting the attachment seems to work.
• The issue can be worked around by renaming the JSON file prior to uploading to have a .txt extension instead of (or in addition to) .json.

Since recently, editing the description takes two clicks instead of just one. The first click turns the content into a textbox, but it remains unfocused until I click it again.

Issue

Server Setup Information:

• Did you test in newest Wekan?: yes
• For new Wekan install, did you configure root-url correctly so Wekan cards open correctly? yes
• Wekan version: 4.49
• Meteor version: 2.0-beta.4
• Node version: 12.19.0
• MongoDB version: 3.2.22
• Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04
• Deployment Method: snap
• Http frontend if any: Apache
• What webbrowser version are you using? Both Firefox 82.0.2 and Chrome 86.0.4240.183 equally affected.
• If using Snap, what does show command sudo snap logs wekan.wekan? nothing

Problem description:
Sorry for not providing animation, as peek doesn’t support Wayland. The steps below should be sufficient though.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a card
2. Click on the description once

What I expect to happen:
For the description to have focus (i.e. cursor, to be able to type)

What happens instead:
The description textbox remains unfocused and I can not type into it

Console log contents

site.webmanifest:1 GET https://my-domain.com/site.webmanifest 404 (Not Found)
site.webmanifest:1 Manifest: Line: 1, column: 1, Syntax error.
A bad HTTP response code (404) was received when fetching the script.
mZLgcqMWYXM4o7dmL:1 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Failed to register a ServiceWorker for scope ('https://my-domain.com/') with script ('https://my-domain.com/pwa-service-worker.js'): A bad HTTP response code (404) was received when fetching the script.

It seems to refer to to paths in the domain root, whereas my root-url has the path https://my-domain.com/kan. Not sure if that’s related to the issue or not.

When a checklist item is in edit mode (through the specific steps below), selecting another item for editing does not take the previous item out of edit mode, and upon selecting a third item (or pressing enter) causes the second item to be overwritten by whatever content is in the first selected item.

Server Setup Information:

• Wekan version: 2.74
• Operating System: Ubuntu 16.04
• Deployment Method: snap (stable)
• Http frontend if any: Apache 2.4
• ROOT_URL environment variable: https://my-domain.com/kan

Problem description:

Steps to reproduce

1. Have a card with a checklist with 4 (or more) items with contents A, B, C, D (and so on):
2. Select item A with LBM
3. Select item B with LBM
4. Select item C with LBM
5. Select item D with LBM

What happens
At step 4, when C opens for editing, B remains in edit mode. At step 5, contents of C are overwritten by contents of B (that is, ”C” becomes a ”B”).

What I expect to happen
At step 4, for B to leave edit mode, and at step 5, the contents of C to remain as they are.

Other notes

• Reproducible in both Chrome and Firefox.
• Curiously, this does not seem to affect the firstly selected item: in step 3 above, A leaves edit mode correctly and thus B doesn’t get overwritten by the contents of item A in step 4.
• At step 5, instead of selecting item D, pressing enter has the same effect.

Browser console output
empty

snap logs wekan.wekan
nothing related

I noticed my mongodb.log has grown pretty large:

root@battra:~# ls -lh /var/snap/wekan/common/mongodb.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3,1G touko  4 21:14 /var/snap/wekan/common/mongodb.log

The first lines in the log are timestamped 2018-03-02T16:39:44.754+0200.

Should the log rotate automatically, but doesn’t for some reason? Alternatively, should I truncate it manually (and if so, how)? I have no use for the logs apart from the occasional bug reports here, so even losing all of it is fine.

There are no related mongodb settings keys AFAICS. (And sorry if this is unrelated to snap packaging, it was just a guess on my part.)

Server Setup Information:

• Wekan version: 2.65
• Operating System: Ubuntu 16.04
• Deployment Method: snap
• Http frontend if any: Apache 2.4

As a workaround, copying the icons and manifest from public to domain root seems to work (with Wekan snap running behind Apache here). As the files have a wekan- prefix, collisions shouldn’t be an issue. Naturally, this solution does require write access to the domain root directory.

@kubiko That’s good to hear, gives me confidence in running the snap on my main server again (instead of the VM). Thanks again guys!
