All links gone after update to v2.13.0

[james]

Hello @linkwarden Users
Thanks for reporting this. We are looking into it.

[james]

I just installed Linkwarden Cloudron package version 1.18.1, added 2x links and updated the app to the latest version 1.19.0.
Still both links exist.
Could you please share some more details how your Linkwarden is used?
Are you using local accounts, the Cloudron Login, the Admin login or anything that could be useful to reproduce this issue?

[ari]

For me: Cloudron login, one admin user, public disabled. API calls failed after update, which tracks with the database being reset.

[ari]

Looking through recent issues, this one caught my eye given Cloudron login: https://github.com/linkwarden/linkwarden/issues/1422

Weird, my links are still there. Using SSO

And after logging in again the app was empty like with the previous update.

I then wanted to check the postgres database and this looks like it was wiped:

db4f552ab385b845deb46a05dc384d0c10=> /dt
db4f552ab385b845deb46a05dc384d0c10-> /d

So even though it says that it was able to apply the migrations to the database the database itself is empty afterwards. That was because of a syntax error on my end. I'm more of a MariaDB guy.

PS: also using sso and basically only using it with my first user. next to a few links I have setup a few rss sources in the app. the rss feeds are probably the most source for links since otherwise i hardly use linkwarden.

OIDC auth. same here: 0 links after the update.

I reproduced the issue. The issue seems to be that in old installations that started before the stable package, the email is not marked as verified. The API calls are failing with the error that email is not verified. To fix:

• Open a web terminal and click on the Postgres button on the top
• Then, run below. The email has to be replaced with the email in your linkwarden settings page:

UPDATE "User" SET "emailVerified"='2024-09-17 14:53:36.194' WHERE email='email@example.com';

That's it. Refresh linkwarden and things reappear.

@joseph thank you. I can conform that after running the sql query the users do show up.

My observation with an empty database was because of a syntax error in my query.

ha ha, those d* commands and the quoting of postgres always trips me (especially since I am on mysql a lot)!
