Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

I updated the flatpak on my desktop today and upon opening Actual Budget from my KDE application menu an error dialog popped up with a JavaScript error due to an uncaught exception. If I hit Ok on the error dialog it will reappear. Hitting Ok a few times will allow the application window to appear but the error dialog continues to display. This error does not occur when the flatpak is launched from a shell. The error can also be eliminated by editing the menu entry and setting it to run in a terminal.

How can we reproduce the issue?

Start the latest flatpak using the desktop's application launcher.

Where are you hosting Actual?

Desktop App (Electron)

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

No response

Operating System

Linux

I am on Gentoo and the flatpak is 25.8.0 downloaded from the Actual Budget website. My desktop is KDE Plasma 6.4.2 running on wayland.

Does this happen on other installs of KDE? I would bet that its something specific with your system

I do not have other KDE installs to try but I can say that I was running the flatpak just fine before I updated it. I will try downgrading the flatpak and see if I can determine the version of regression.

This may have been the first release that uses node 20.

25.4.0 is the first flatpak that produces this error. 25.3.1 does not produce an error.

I think 25.4 is the first version to included a bundled sync server. I wonder if its a permissions issue. But that wouldn't make sense if it works sometimes...

Based on the exception text, and the fact that starting it in a terminal corrects the issue, I wonder if it has to do with having no console for stdout/output. I have OpenSUSE KDE in a VM that I can try it on as well.

I tried the latest flatpak on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with Plasma 6 and the error does not occur. I will try updating my Gentoo system sometime within the next few days to see if the issue is resolved.
