0.10 doesn't provide screenshot url info about appstream HOT 12 CLOSED

still not getting screenshot urls with cef772a, is any other commit required?

@antonio-rojas Did you run appstreamcli refresh --force? Are you using XML or YAML metadata as source data?

from appstream.

Yes, I ran appstreamcli refresh-cache --force. The metadata is in XML.

from appstream.

Hmm, are you sure you have the right appstreamcli and the right libappstream?
Because I just tried this here with the Arch metadata and got the expected screenshots...

from appstream.

yes, I just tried git head and still doesn't work

from appstream.

Weird...
Can you paste the output of appstreamcli status? Also run appstreamcli dump <component-id> with a component-ID for a component that has screenshots, and check if the screenshot tags are present in the output.

`> appstreamcli status

appstreamcli dump org.kde.dolphin.desktop doesn't output any screenshot tag.

Hmm, strange, I can not reproduce this at all...
Also, these codepaths are all unit-tested now, so this really should work. Does make test complete without failure?

from appstream.

Yep, all tests pass. No idea what could be the problem, I even tried regenerating the xmls but it makes no difference.

from appstream.

The tests read, write and cache read/write metadata, which is exactly what ascli does as well...
So, I have no idea what could be broken here...
Maybe remove all AppStream libraries you have installed and install the master copy again, to be 100% sure nothing is interfering...

If nothing helps, I will fetch some arch user (maybe @aleixpol ) at Akademy and try to reproduce the issue there.
With the Archlinux metadata on Debian, at least, this problem doesn't happen.

from appstream.

ok found it... it was the old cached data from /var/cache/app-info that was somehow interfering. After wiping that dir and regenerating the cache once again it works. Thanks for the help.

from appstream.

Oh, that should not happen - if you run with --force, the old data should be overridden...
But good that it's working now :-)
