Plugin seems to not reconnect when restarting Galaxy

[micpp42]

I can connect and pull my library in fine, but when I restart Galaxy, although I still see all my games showing in the list the plugin has gone back to Disconnected, and I have to log in again

If you've previously used a different Itch.io plugin, this may be happening due to a Galaxy issue. If you feel comfortable, you can try to edit Galaxy's local database to fix this issue. I've documented the process that has worked for me on this project's wiki but I make no guarantees it will work.

You should also double check that you're running the most recent version of the plugin (v0.0.5)

Hello.

I think i'm in the same issue because i used before Ertego's itch.io integration, and every time i enter Galaxy i see this integration disconnected.

I try the wiki tips, but i can't do nothing. First, it shows as Platform ID 13, not 12, but i suppose something changed in this time since you posted, because the UIDs are correct. However, if i try to delete the registry of the other UID (not the UID from this integration) shows me an error. Maybe is an issue of how to use DB Browser (i never use it before), but Galaxy is not on, and it should let me modify the DB...

EDIT: I just realise that i can delete the registry from this itch plugin, but i can't do with the other plugin, the one which is giving that issue. So maybe the only way is reinstalling everything...

EDIT 2: I uninstalled and installed Galaxy, the custom installed plugins doesn't go away but you need to log in in everyone again. But now the plugin connects every time at boot, so another way to fix this.

If anyone else is having the "FOREIGN KEY constraint failed" issue when trying to delete an old plugin record from the Plugins table of the galaxy-2.0.db database, this happens when a record is still being referenced in another table. These references in other tables depend on this source record existing, so it's protected from being deleted. To fix this, all other reference to that record must be deleted before deleting the record itself. The only other reference to this record I could find is in the UserPlugins table.

To use the previous commenter's data as an example, the record which must be deleted is in the Plugins table and has an id of 20, which is the primary key that identifies this record as a reference in other tables. When trying to delete this record, a foreign key constraint error is encountered because it still has a reference elsewhere in the database. To fix the issue in this case, go to the UserPlugins table and delete the record with the pluginId of 20, which is the foreign key which references our original record. Then, as long as no other references to it exist, the original record in the Plugins table can be deleted.

In short,
Delete the record in the table UserPlugins which has a pluginId that matches the id of the record you want to delete in the Plugins table. Once the record in the UserPlugin table is deleted, then you can delete the original record in the Plugins table.

No reinstalling required.
