Description Florian Best

2019-11-28 12:33:03 CET

The apps are currently using a fake extended attribute which is re-written into a extended option via the listener in management/univention-appcenter/listener/app_attributes.py.

This writes /var/lib/univention-appcenter/attributes/mapping.json.

I heard again in a support case where this failed and no app tabs were visible anymore.

We should migrate all apps to use real extended options.

What exactly would have to be done during a migration?
* Create a settings/extended_option --set isAppTab=true for the current extended attribute which is set as UMCOptionsAttributes in the app's .ini file.
* Adjust all udm-cli calls to use `--append-option=$name` instead of `--set $name=1`

How can you find out which apps need action?

# grep -l UMCOptionsAttributes /var/cache/univention-appcenter/*/4.*/*.ini | sed 's#.*/##g; s/_.*//g' | sort | uniq
