Description Raghavendra kamath 2021-12-09 08:47:11 UTC

SUMMARY
I am using Fedora 35 KDE sping and going to app page doesn't load reviews. An error message is shown in the bottom of the window saying "Error while fetching reviews:  Error transferring https://ords.gnome.org/1.0/reviews/api/fetch - server replied: Bad request"

Similarly adding a review doesn't do anything, there is no error message nor there is a confirmation .

Heavily related: Bug 403791

When the review server is broken, we should probably not try to load reviews stuff at all and display a placeholder message that explains how it's not our fault and gives the user a "Try Again" button they can use to spam the server with more requests :D

This should be fixed in Plasma 5.26; there was a bug in how the ODRS server was being contacted that's fixed now!

i am having this on plasma 5.92 (discover in 5.24.7), so probably reappeared or was not fixed?

Comment 5 Nate Graham 2023-04-17 13:52:29 UTC

Per the "version fixed in" field, this is fixed in Plasma 5.26; you're using 5.24.7.
