Error Updating Ankimon Add-on

[sunrucong]

With the new ankimon update that was just released today, I am unable to update the add-on. The Error message includes identifying information, so I can share it with you @Unlucky-Life separately if you'd like.

From what I can comprehend from the error message, it seems to be a permission issue, though I've never had that issue with this add-on (or any Anki add-on for that matter).

I submitted it on ankihub as well but I'm even less familiar with that site than github so I'm not sure if it was delivered correctly.

@sunrucong ok hm i see, could you send it to me at leon.moegelin@gmail.com

It might be the sounds integration but im not sure

You could download the 1.269 Update from github here and install it, if that works its propably the sound function (i would guess but the error would be alot of help)

[sunrucong]

It's sent!

As for the workaround of downloading from github, how would I install it? Do I delete the entire Ankimon addon folder? Or are there only a few aspects of the github zip that I need to add?

I sent you an email back ! If this wont work let me know !

Hey Sunrucong,
I think i know this error!
So it seems like something went wrong when updating (but this is easily fixed).
Simply do this:

1. Copy the complete user_files folder to a different location.
2. Then simply try to update Ankimon with this file:
   https://github.com/Unlucky-Life/ankimon/releases/download/1.271/ankimon-1.271-anki21-ankiweb.ankiaddon
   You can simply download it and run it (just double click, like you would install any application)
   Note! Make sure to have anki closed when installing from the file - this should make sure that the update should run through.
3. copy back the content of user_files back into the addon_folder
   That should help you be able to run the application !

If that wont work try this:
IMPORTANT: Before deinstalling the addon please copy paste all the files in user_files to a different location as a backup!
(Deinstall and Reinstall the Ankimon Addon from Ankiweb and after installing => just copy paste the user_files content into the user_files folder in your ankimon addon folder.)

It looks like the error you presented above was a Issue from Ankihub or atleast the issue happened while updating AnkiHub.
I think this should fix the issue !
If this wont work let me know !

Hey so looks like the first method didn't work, and I got the Start-Up Failed message; here's the debug info:

The second method also failed and resulted in the same start-up failed message, but I think it might be due to something in my user_files folder b/c I tried starting it up without my user_files folder replacing the blank one and it started up fine

Here's the debug info for the second one

Trying the third method from the email now!

[Unlucky-Life]

@sunrucong seems like you just need to paste this file into ur user_files

Just download this file

https://github.com/Unlucky-Life/ankimon/blob/main/src/Ankimon/user_files/rate_this.json

and paste ir into your user_files folder

[sunrucong]

Oh interesting. Well the full redownload is happening right now anyway so once that finishes I’ll install that file! Thanks again and will let you know how it goes!

Alright the third method also didn't work; same method but now I didn't even put in my updated user_files folder, I'm gonna try the method in the follow-up post you mentioned.

Adding that rate.json worked! So far so good!
