Description
Describe the bug
Using the mas open
command works to open the app store app, but an error dialog always appears a few seconds later.
To Reproduce
- Run
mas open
with no appID - Observe the app store app open
- Observe "Loading" spinner in center of
- See error dialog saying "
Expected behavior
The app store app opens to the "★ Discover" tab.
Actual behavior
An error dialog appears after a few seconds with the following message:
Cannot Connect to App Store
[Retry] [OK]
Screenshots
This is the dialog that appears after a few seconds.
Desktop (please complete the following information)
- mas version 1.6.22
- macOS version: 10.14.3
- How did you install mas? built from source
Additional context
Using the mas open appstore
command behaves the same.
Note that clicking a link such as macappstore:// (or running the open macappstore://
command in Terminal) does the same thing. This seems to be the current behavior of the MAS GUI app on Mojave. Perhaps there is a specific host or path that needs to be added to the URL to indicate the desired landing page and prevent this message.
Also, the macappstore://showUpdatesPage URL (discovered on an OS X Daily post) successfully opens the MAS GUI app to the "⬇ Updates" tab without error.
