Can't update my extension bracketstoix

[a-bentofreire]

I would like to update my extension: BracketsToIX to a newer version, but I face 2 issues:

1. The registry https://registry.brackets.io/ doesn't let sign in via my github account.
   It points to https://localhost:3000/auth/github/callback?code=(number) - My comment bellow points to an alternative way.
2. I have downloaded app via https://phcode.io/#/home, with wget -qO- https://updates.phcode.io/linux/installer.sh | bash`
   When I execute on Linux Mint 22, the phoenix-code 3.8.8, it just shows 'Ops! Something went wrong. Try restaring the app' right after the execution without allowing me to do anything.

Regarding the update the extension on the registry, I read another previous posted issue, which points to:
https://github.com/phcode-dev/phoenix/wiki/How-To-Write-Extensions-And-Themes
I will try this new approach, but I would still like to be able to execute the application offline, at the moment the only way I see that I can execute phcode is via online phcode.dev on chrome.

Although, I still can't execute it locally, I tried online and it works. It's enough for me.

hi @a-bentofreire Phoenix code has deprecated support for legacy node as it relied on an ancient node version. That may be the reason why the extension failed to load in desktop builds.

There is a brand new and eazier node framework now available based on node20. Please see https://github.com/phcode-dev/extension-node-template on how to use this.

Do drop an issue or discussion for any help in https://github.com/phcode-dev/phoenix as that is the main tracking repo now for brackets development.

Thank you for reply, but the desktop version reported this issue as soon as I executed after I download the app without any extension loaded, so it's not related to my extension or any other extension.

Ah! This is on linux i see. @charlypa is linux mint 22 supported?

[charlypa]

@a-bentofreire @abose
phoenix code work for me in mint 22

@a-bentofreire would you tell us exactly what is missing

1. I have deleted all traces of the application installed yesterday, and redo the whole process
2. I download and installed the app: wget -qO- https://updates.phcode.io/linux/installer.sh | bash
3. I execute the app: /home/abf/.phoenix-code/phoenix-code
4. As soon as it enters, it pops a dialog box with Ops...
5. On the first time it displays: No boot restore config file found /home/abf/.local/share/io.phcode/boot_config.json, but after executing again, no message on console but always the same popup dialog Ops...

I see from your installation something about the installation of webkit2gtk. which version do you have installed?
I had already pre-installed these 2:

gir1.2-webkit2-4.1/noble-updates,now 2.44.2-0ubuntu0.24.04.2 amd64 [installed]
libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0/noble-updates,now 2.44.2-0ubuntu0.24.04.2 amd64 [installed]

Another issue unrelated to the desktop version: when I execute the online version, I see two version available of my extension, the old one, and the new version that I updated yesterday. Can you delete the old version From the extension registry. I used the same repo as before, and followed the guidelines described on the template.

@a-bentofreire
Please edit file /home/abf/.phoenix-code/phoenix-code and replace with below contents.

#!/bin/bash
SCRIPT_DIR=$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$0")")
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$SCRIPT_DIR/gtk:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
ldd $SCRIPT_DIR/phoenix-code.app "$@" | grep webk

Then execute file /home/abf/.phoenix-code/phoenix-codeand can you report the errors in console to help us debug the issue.

This is the output

@a-bentofreire
Looks like the proper webkit is being loaded. To debug it further
Please edit file /home/abf/.phoenix-code/phoenix-code and replace with below contents.

#!/bin/bash
SCRIPT_DIR=$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$0")")
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$SCRIPT_DIR/gtk:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
ldd $SCRIPT_DIR/phoenix-code.app "$@" 

Then execute file /home/abf/.phoenix-code/phoenix-code and can you report the errors in console to help us debug the issue.

[a-bentofreire]

No worries, I'm attaching the library list (the output)

@a-bentofreire i will remove the duplicate extension in a day or two as i need to write a remove extension workflow which we delayed implementing till someone asks for it.

We try hard to make phcode work in all linux distros out there, but some distros have some quirks to iron out. If you can help a bit, i can share a custom debug build to identity the issue. Just need to execute it and share the results.

Thank you for removing the duplicate.
I will have look at phcode as soon as I have a bit of time

@a-bentofreire I created a custom debug build to identify the issue. Can you download it from https://github.com/abose/wer/releases/download/fedoraDebug/portable-debug-build-3.9.1.zip , extract and run ./phoenix-code-experimental-build

[a-bentofreire]

@abose

1. If I extract the complete zip to ~/Downloads and execute from ~/Downloads/portable-debug-build/phoenix-code-experimental-build, I have the error message: ./phoenix-code-experimental-build: error while loading shared libraries: libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

2. If I place it on /home/abf/.phoenix-code and tweak the code of phoenix-code to :

#!/bin/bash
SCRIPT_DIR=$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$0")")
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$SCRIPT_DIR/gtk:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
exec $SCRIPT_DIR/phoenix-code-experimental-build "$@"

It executes without issues.
It displays the following messages on console, but no error dialog on the app:

/home/abf/.phoenix-code/gtk:
Appdata path is /home/abf/.local/share/io.phcode.dev
No boot restore config file found /home/abf/.local/share/io.phcode.dev/boot_config.json
Asset `assets/notifications/dev/en-US/banner.json` not found; fallback to assets/notifications/dev/en-US/banner.json.html

[abose]

@a-bentofreire The break was due to some linux distros not returning the user documents folder correctly. The fix will be available in the next release. In the meantime, you can use the build i shared till the release is out. Thanks again for helping with the fix.

[a-bentofreire]

perfect!
I will close this issue
