Hello !
Just updated from old grist-electron to grist-Desktop.
Hmm, lots of change … I’ll need to re-impport all previous file with “open fil” etc …
Well my main concern is accessing standard custom widget.
When getting into choose custom widget, I have nothing else than custom URL.
I added this line in my custom .env at the root of Gris-Desktop:
GRIST_WIDGET_LIST_URL=https://gristlabs.github.io/grist-widget/manifest.json
But it does not work, nothing added ?
Hello Grist community,
Thanks again for the active developpment of this so helpfull app.
I think I have more understood evolution of Grist-Desktop, but still need an help why I’m not reaching standard custom-widgets.
At the moment speaking I’m moving the main ones with dedicated URL.
Here is my . env at the root of Grist Desktop.
GRIST_HOST=192.168.1.25 # IP address to serve from
GRIST_PORT=8484 # Port number to serve at
GRIST_DESKTOP_AUTH=none # Auth strategy (strict, mixed, or none)
GRIST_DATA_DIR=C:\Users\Admin_Grist\Documents\grist_docs # directory in which to store document caches.
GRIST_HIDE_UI_ELEMENTS=helpCenter,billing,templates,multiSite,multiAccounts # comma-separated list of parts of the UI to hide. Allowed names of parts: helpCenter,billing,templates,multiSite,multiAccounts
GRIST_SANDBOX_FLAVOR=unsandboxed # pas de restriction sur les modules python
GRIST_TRUST_PLUGINS=true
GRIST_SERVE_SAME_ORIGIN=false
GRIST_WIDGET_LIST_URL=https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-widget/releases/download/latest/manifest.json
is it related to this issue → Fetch Url Widget Repository behind corporate proxy · Issue #1238 · gristlabs/grist-core · GitHub
the follwing cmd : netsh winhttp show proxy → returns no proxy so I do not think this is the issue.
Any idea 
?
Hi @Sylvain_Page, I’m looking into this. Sorry for the disruption. I’m on Linux, and something like:
GRIST_WIDGET_LIST_URL=https://gristlabs.github.io/grist-widget/manifest.json ./grist-desktop-0.3.0-linux-x86_64.AppImage
seems to work fine. Do you think your .env file is being found, for example is GRIST_DATA_DIR being respected?
Hi @paul-grist ,
Thanks for your support. no pb for disruption, given the job you do with grist it is still amazing !
I’m not 100% sure for Grist_data_dir (it seems ok, but after updating Gris-Desktop did not find my docs cleanly, but now all docs are there).
I’ll change port variable on the .env to test the effect (sorry no access right now).
I also plan to have the manifest.json locally to test.
Will keep you informed.
Hello !
So, .env is correctly seen (change to port in .env is correctly passed to the server). 
I tried to put this with the correct file in the right path:
GRIST_WIDGET_LIST_URL="C:\Program Files\Grist Desktop\manifest.json"
→ No success. 
All url configuration works well (actual work around).
I’ll try to make a fresh install on another W11 personnal system to test if the defect is reproduced.
