Enable text app in NC29/Hub 8

Nextcloud version: Nextcloud Hub 8/29.0.1
Operating system and version: Debian 12.5
nginx version: 1.22.1-9
PHP version: 8.2.18

The issue you are facing:

This instance originated back in the owncloud days and was converted/upgraded step by step to nc29 (along with in-place operating system upgrades - I still have ancient PHP 7.0 config files around - though nothing that old is installed anymore :wink: )

Users have been relying on plain text and markdown editor app which long has been deprecated and do not work with NC29 at the moment, but neither does the text-app right now.

I’ve enabled/disabled the app both via occ and within the WebUI, played with the various configurations but so far, if a user tries to open a .md file, it will be downloaded instead of opening it in the WebUI.

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? Yes, immediately after the upgrade

Steps to replicate it: Unsure due to long history

Output errors in nextcloud.log in /var/www/ or as admin user in top right menu, filtering for errors. Use a pastebin service if necessary.

Initially libresign seems to handle this file but errors out (to me, the URL looks somewhat wrong):

  "reqId": "[redacted]",
  "level": 0,
  "time": "2024-06-05T19:26:08+00:00",
  "remoteAddr": "[redacted]",
  "user": "[redacted]",
  "app": "libresign",
  "method": "GET",
  "url": "/index.phps/files/495370?dir=/Regression%20Test",
  "message": "Could not find resource file \"/apps/libresign/css/icons.css\"",
  "userAgent": "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:126.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/126.0",
  "version": "29.0.1.1",
  "data": {
    "app": "libresign"
  }
}

after disabling this workflow wants to handle this, but the URL looks weird again (/ missing?)

  }
}

Anyone with an idea what the core problem is?

I see you have files_markdown and files_texteditor force enabled per your config. Are they currently installed and enabled? If so, what happens if you disable them and leave only the stock text (which is a shipped app with the installation does support v29) app enabled?

Hi, front up, sorry for the late response, I was offline since Thursday.

That’s interesting, according to the webUI and occ app:list these are installed but disabled - but config.php seems to differ.

But removing them via occ app:remove does not change it, app-text does still not seem to be registered for md files.

I’ve also taken it out of the config.php and restarted nginx/php-fpm but again, no changes :frowning:
