HACS 2.0: Join the beta testing adventure!

Guessing that was likely to do the large-scale Github outage earlier today. Curious to see if you got it working now. Looks like Github is back up and running.

Yeah looks like that was the reason. All good now.

My question is now - can I enable that switch for the HACS integration and no longer need the add-on? :slight_smile:

No, that switch uses github preeesleases.
These are not releases, which is why the add-on must be used.
With that said, i do not expect much if any change now until then release.

Hello how often is this updated? Or is there a github repo i can follow so i know an update is available?

Thanks

oh thanks, but I meant updates for HACS 2.0, i.e. I curently have 2.0.0-dev-a34d9c4 installed.

So do I. It seems to be the latest.

I just added this card using HACS version (there is no way to copy this as text):
Screenshot 2024-08-20 at 19-02-44 HACS – Home Assistant

It shows up in dashboard resources:

However the card does not exist:

Problem with HACS or problem with the repository?

With HACS, it affects all cards that use the “dist” directory.
Remove /dist from the resource URL and it will work.

Is that going to break a lot of things?

Oh and yes your fix worked, thank you.

Looked at it, it might actually be an issue with that repo, it sets https://github.com/mlamberts78/weather-chart-card/blob/84f5bb8daa430ffa2d10ccb77c8006771382a104/hacs.json#L4 but AFAIK that should not be valid, I wonder why that has worked.

Seems there was a bug in earlier versions of HACS, that value was not used before for this.
Now it is and that is causing problems.
Pushed an update to HACS to work around it.

Does checking for updates in settings > system > updates > check for updates also check for HACS integration updates?

Not really, its heavily cached and strict updated

Thanks for the release and as usual everything is working just fine! Hopefully the duplicate issues from people that do not read before posting will decrease for a while…

This wont though:

Where are the add-ons?

awesome, I see the release!

I have 2 updates, the addon and HACS. do I need the addon anymore? or can I just update HACS?

Cheers

Edit: Ok, just ran the addon to update HACS to 2.0.1-dev-79c64a4

If I wanted to convert to the stable or release stream, do I select the current option in the addon, install it and restart HA and then remove the addon on? thanks

I presume future updates will now just be from the HACS integrataion itself.

I understand it is no beta any more, as of a couple of days ago.

Now, for someone who has deleted the HACS from the sidebar, what is the new mechanism to bring the sidebar button back, now that we are under HACS 2.0?

Do we need yaml for such tasks?

Should be in Settings>Devices & Services>HACS>Configure as one of the options.
