Custom Widgets Error. Was the Github path changed?

Is the custom widgets manifest offline?

I am getting this error when trying to use custom widgets or the calendar widget

When checking the Github pages, that path doesn´t even exist… but I was using that path for months already.

  - PERMITTED_CUSTOM_WIDGETS=calendar
  - GRIST_WIDGET_LIST_URL=https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-widget/releases/download/latest/manifest.json
  - GRIST_EXPERIMENTAL_PLUGINS=true

No deliberate change on our part. This URL is currently working for me:

https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-widget/releases/download/latest/manifest.json

Also this one (but with tag rather than download):

https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-widget/releases/tag/latest

Maybe github had a small temporary outage? Did the URL start working for you or is it still failing?

I don´t understand much about GitHub. Why can´t I navigate to the URL Releases · gristlabs/grist-widget · GitHub for example? In fact, why I cant even see the releases directoy from inside GitHub - gristlabs/grist-widget: A repository of custom widgets to embed in Grist documents ??

anyway, testing the full link you gave above, the download of the manifest started for me.

I guess there is some network blockage after we changed servers.

Hmm. I don’t know what is going on. This is an alternate URL:

https://gristlabs.github.io/grist-widget/manifest.json

It is still hosted by GitHub, but on a different domain. The error you are getting looks like a DNS error, so this might give you another roll of the dice.

SOLVED

it was really a DNS problem
