bauh crashes with empty appimage url

Before opening a new issue Install the staging branch and check if the unexpected behavior is happening there as well. If you are on ArchLinux-based distro, you can install it through AUR (bauh-staging). Otherwise, you have to clone the repository and install it with pip:

git clone https://github.com/vinifmor/bauh.git -b staging --depth=1
cd bauh
python3 -m venv venv
venv/bin/pip install pip --upgrade
venv/bin/pip install setuptools --upgrade
venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
venv/bin/pip install .
venv/bin/bauh  # or venv/bin/bauh-tray

Describe the bug App crashes when AppImage url is suddenly empty (no idea how that could happen).

P.S: these instructions and the template must be respected, otherwise your issue will be closed.

I’ve opened a PR with a workaround that solves the issue for me, although it is not clear to me how the underlying issue came to be in the first place. Maybe there is a better solution for this…

Thanks for the feedback and quick fix! I will try that in a couple hours then and let you know.

Sorry for the delayed answer, I appreciate your thorough explanations and quick response! 😃

About your question related to selecting packages to upgrade: there is no button to “select/unselect all”, but bauh just upgrades what’s been currently displayed on the table (WYSWYG). So just filter the package you want to upgrade by its name.

That’s great to know!

I was unable to reproduce any bugs with the current staging branch so I think the issue is well resolved.

Thank you again!
