Update Job Exception on startup

System information:

• Operating system (distribution) and version: Windows 10 Pro x64 Build 19042.685
• DBeaver version 7.3.1.202012201616
• Additional extensions

Connection specification:

• Database name and version
• Driver name
• Do you use tunnels or proxies (SSH, SOCKS, etc)? no

Describe the problem you’re observing:

After this most recent update, every time I start DBeaver after a few seconds I get the following error alert dialog. I can close the dialog and everything works fine so this is just a minor annoyance. I’m guessing this is the check for newer versions of dbeaver that is failing? At any rate, I’ve been using DBeaver for well over a year with regular updates and have never encountered this problem before. It seems to have been introduced with this version. I have tried reinstalling the software but the problem does not go away.

Steps to reproduce, if exist:

This happens every time I start the application. If I close the application and restart it, the error will always appear a few seconds after dbeaver launches. Dismissing the dialog seems to allow for normal operation afterward so it’s just a minor annoyance.

Include any warning/errors/backtraces from the logs

This is being logged as an error in the application as follows:

Same here. After every upgrade I have to delete .eclipse. I too have a name with a space in it which is replaced with %20 and the message:

Registry Directory not available: C:\Users\Jan%20Derk.eclipse\org.jkiss.dbeaver.product_21.0.1_1535670467_win32_win32_x86_64\p2\org.eclipse.equinox.p2.engine\profileRegistry.

And yes indeed the directory “C:\Users\Jan%20Derk” does not exist. It must be “C:\Users\Jan Derk”.

Looks like the path is url encoded when it should not.

Re-opening because I encountered this problem again after upgrading to 7.3.3. Deleting the .Eclipse folder once again fixes the issue, but I hope this can be fixed once and for all. Fixing after every upgrade is doable, but not a great user experience.
