Search with a "Filter by" of "Debian packages" not working in "snap-store" version "0+git.97116aa" Rev. 1134

[ricmarques]

Ubuntu MATE 24.04 LTS ("Noble Numbat") was released with the following "App Center" version:

snap-store
Version: 0+git.1419621
Rev: 1124

In that version of "App Center" / "snap-store", if I open "App Center" and do a Search for, let's say, "gparted" in the top "Search for apps" textbox, the search initially returns "No results found for "gparted"" because the "Filter by" dropdown list defaults to the option "Snap packages". However, if I change the "Filter by" selected option to "Debian packages", then the search results area correctly shows the "GParted Partition Editor" box.

Now, the problem happens if "App Center" gets (automatically) updated to the following version:

snap-store
Version: 0+git.97116aa
Rev: 1134

In that version of "snap-store", the same search for "gparted" then incorrectly returns "No results found for "gparted"" even if we change "Filter by" dropdown list selected option to "Debian packages".

Is this a known issue / bug?

Thanks for the report - I suspect you see something like this when running snap-store from the terminal:

[ERROR:flutter/runtime/dart_isolate.cc(1107)] Unhandled exception:
FormatException: Unknown url type 'vcs-browser'

A fix for this is underway canonical/appstream.dart#30

Thank you very much for your very quick and encouraging reply 🙂 I confirm that, when I run snap-store from the terminal, I get the errors you've mentioned in your reply (and some additional errors):
