GitHub Stars fails with a knobs error

[Andy Piper]

When the component is added to the status bar and configured, a ladybug shows in the status bar. Clicking returns this error:

Status bar component “GitHub stars” (engineering.dane.iterm-components.github-stars) failed.

This function call had an error:

statusbar.engineering.dane.iterm_components.github_stars.github_stars_coroutine(knobs:__knobs)

The error was:

Reference to undefined variable “__knobs”. Change it to “__knobs?” to treat the undefined value as null.

I think something has changed with the way this variable is scoped, maybe?

Thanks for the report @andypiper—it's possible the API has changed since I last worked on this! I'll see if I have some time this week to look. If you get curious and find a fix, I'd be happy to accept a pull request as well 😄

I've been playing with it on-and-off for a while since I based one of my own scripts on yours :-) but I've not worked it out yet. I've been on the verge of heading to the iTerm mailing list for advice, but haven't had the time.

Hi guys, any news on it?
I'm trying to get the knob value in the click callback without success...

Hey @DiegoGiovany, unfortunately this project isn't really in much active development these days—I don't even really use the iTerm components feature on a day-to-day basis at present. I definitely don't have bandwidth right now but could try to take a look in, realistically, the next few months.
