Actual

I tried to reproduce it, but it worked fine for me. I was logged in at the time. After reading the models.User i logged out and tried it again, then this error appeared. So i think you try to show something only the logged in user has and this is why it fails.

[ea2973929]

Yes, that might very well be the problem. But this is try.gitea.io, where people go to test your software - should it really be a requirement to create a user for that? For comparison https://try.gogs.io/explore/repos works fine without a user.

If you want to require a user you should clearly write some message about this so that a new user knows what to do. Another approach might be to create a demo user for people to use.

I am totally with you on this one. I also think it should work without an account for public projects. All i wanted was to add some more info to the issue as it could help find the problem faster. Sorry if that was not clear enough.

@ea2973929 Unfortunately #940 introduced this bug, @appleboy could you take a look at this?

[tboerger]

Yep, confirmed that template: explore/repo_list:5:200: executing "explore/repo_list" at <.Owner.Name>: can't evaluate field Name in type *models.User pops up if you try to explore as an anoymous user. Works if you are logged in,

same for me on my installation.

@ea2973929 @arkraft @xsteadfastx please confirm this has been fixed via #946

[ea2973929]

Works for me. I'm not sure what process you have around this. Should I close it as the creator of the issue?

[lunny]

Please close this.
