Did I break the plugin repo?

Scripting
#1

Not sure if it’s a coincidence, but ever since my pull request was merged this morning (#44 Fill Background Path), I’m getting this error when I go to Window > Plugin Manager:

The operation couldn’t be completed. (Problem parsing repository source error 123.)

Apologies if I fat-fingered something…

Same here.

The double quotes in your description needed to be escaped. Running plutil -lint on the file to check for syntax errors would have caught that. I submitted a pull request that fixes it and adds a note about using plutil to verify the file. When @GeorgSeifert merges in the change, the Plugin Manager should work again.

Thanks! Now it seems obvious. :man_facepalming: Will definitely use plutil in the future.

If you use TextMate, you can use the “Bundles > Property List > Validate” command.
