Is this Bug Present in the upstream API Server?

  • Yes
  • No
  • Unsure

What is the Bug
When searching for web in the Pulsar "Install Packages" panel it errors:

Searching for “web” failed.Hide output…
Cannot convert undefined or null to object
[{"name":"web-view","readme":"# Atom Web View...

The returned json from https://api.pulsar-edit.dev/api/packages/search?q=web appears to be valid so I'm wondering if Pulsar is expecting to have a field that is null in the returned JSON?

How to Replicate the Bug

  • Open "Install Packages"
  • Type "web"

The original reporter narrowed it down to the web-developer-tools package. Trying to view this package (or search for it) on the frontend also returns an error.

It actually has no metadata at all which makes me think it is indeed malformed. No author for example.

As we now have an issue opened for the specific package that has malformed data, and since the frontend totally failing to return anything has been resolved in `package-frontend#75. I'll go ahead and close this issue.

Thanks for everyone helping out on this one and for reporting it
