HACS is starting up

Third party integrations
1

Hi!
today I updated my HomeAssistant from 2021.4.4 to 2021.4.6 version and now i have some problems with HACS.

HACS is running, but this message appears:
"HACS is starting.
HACS is starting up, during this period some information may be missing or incorrect "

If I try to update a component of HACS, when I restart HomeAssistant it returns as before updating it.

When I restart HomeAssistant, I get the following errors:

I tried to delete the integration and do it again, but I didn’t fix the problem :frowning:

please have you any solutions? Thanks

Had the same problem.
In my case just reinstalling from shell helped:

wget -q -O - https://install.hacs.xyz | bash -

is there a command to force HACS upgrade from Terminal?

I am also having the same issue. I’m using Home Assistant OS. What’s the safest and cleanest way to fix this issue? I definitely don’t want to lose all my HACS addons.

UPDATE: I found the fix for this problem in this Github issue:

Instructions:

1. in /config/custom_components/hacs/manifest.json, change "aiogithubapi>=21.2.0" to "aiogithubapi==21.2.0"
2. Clear browser cache
3. Restart Home Assistant
4. Finally, update HACS
