Updates are available message when there are none

I am always getting this now. I did a rebuild of the app and it still appears.

Not critical I suppose, just new, and annoying to some extent.

Iā€™ve noticed the same. If you go to Themes and Components youā€™ll probably find that there updates required. In the past this advice listed the affected themes and components below the message but that seems to have been lost in a recent update.

Ah. Indeed, that fixes it. Thanks.

But I think the message lacking the details is some kind of bug.

I saw this today too, also after updating core discourse.

Looking at the theme component list and filtering by updates available showed me which one needed updating. The ā€œSidebar Theme Toggleā€ theme component needed updating, and selecting the circular arrows glyph updated it. The message on the admin landing page went away.

I donā€™t know why this particular theme component was not successfully being updated when core discourse is updated, and did not see anything in the log.

I also donā€™t know why the messaging didnā€™t list the theme component specifically.

The message probably went away because you had no more updates needed. I updated that component but the message was still there because I had a theme update still needed. The message didnā€™t display what needed updating like it used to.

Do you recall what theme component that was? Is this happening now for any theme components needing updating?

I just checked on one of my sites and PDF Previews has an update available, but the advice on the admin landing page does not specify the theme, just like my screenshot above.

I donā€™t recall what it was, other than it was a theme that needed updating, not a theme component.

Iā€™m seeing the warning right nowā€¦

When I go to look I see that the following theme components have updates availableā€¦

  • Custom Header Links
  • Dark-Light Toggle
  • Sidebar Theme Toggle
  • discourse-search-banner

I updated each one in turn, returning to the dashboard and pressing Refresh after each update. The warning above only went away after the last component had been upgraded.

It doesnā€™t feel like itā€™s a specific theme component and/or theme thatā€™s doing this. It seems like the warning has just stopped displaying which theme/component(s) need to be updated.

Hello! :wave:

Thanks for reporting this. We recently made some changes to the admin notice system, and this ended up breaking this particular message. I just merged a fix for this. :pray:
