External 6.0 addons 'Projects' now available for testing

Kari has generated 6.0 addons-xx.json listings and downloadable archive files for testing the 6.0 beta Addon Manager. (Thanks @kku ! )

This does NOT mean the Isotammi addons have been tested with the Gramps 6.0 beta. That curation testing has not been started.

This first step is about testing the Addon Manager with external “Projects”. (The next beta or release candidate will include the patches for auto-trimming the URL for the whitespace. Whitespace in the URL breaks Gramps 5.2 Addon Manager)

The Projects path is:

Any assistance in 6.0 compatibility testing of Isotammi addons is welcome.

My first test resulted in a Blank line in the Addons tab’s Projects menu. I had added a 5.2 URL Projects list. It evidently found the .json which contained no 6.0 target addons.

So maybe that is the cause of a blank line in this list?

I had added the 5.2 project by @jmichault , checked for updates (found none), then deselected that project. The menu had the blank line even with without that Project ‘active’

filed: 0013660: [Addon Manager] addons-xx.json with no compatible addons causes blank menu item

Somewhere, I managed to delete the Project name from one entry.
A blank project name and duplicate project names are valid conditions.

@jmichault made a new 6.0 branch for his addons. (Thanks Jean!) This repository has examples that can be used to test the installation of “Requires” modules.

URL to use in Addon Manager is:
