Fix single-line GitHub API response parsing

[StephanStS]

ChatGPT also gave this optional solution:

echo '...your JSON string...' | mawk '
  match($0, /"tag_name"[[:space:]]*:[[:space:]]*"[^"]*"/) {
    val = substr($0, RSTART, RLENGTH)
    # Remove all in front of the value:
    gsub(/.*"tag_name"[[:space:]]*:[[:space:]]*"/, "", val)
    # Remove trailing ":
    gsub(/".*/, "", val)
    print val
  }
'

Did not test this, maybe halluzination. :-)

@StephanStS This issue is not dedicated to Kuma. It's a general issue with fetching correct version string via GitHub API #8009

Theoretically there is another option like

curl -sSfL https://api.github.com/repos/louislam/uptime-kuma/releases/latest | sed -n 's/.*"tag_name": *"\([^"]*\)".*/\1/p'

Works.
Might be the better solution like copilot mentioned above with grep.

@StephanStS Fallback version will be automatically updated by GitHub Actions on an own PR #7976

@StephanStS Fallback version will be automatically updated by GitHub Actions on an own PR #7976

Does this require an own change at a different place / within any bot (regarding the determination of newer versions)?

[Joulinar]

@MichaIng create a bot who is checking these fallback URL automatically. https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/actions/workflows/update_urls.yml
It's running at 6am and will do the magic. All updated URL are stored in an own PR und will be merged once we move to Beta/Master.

The sed seems quite a nice simple solution to support both: single-line and multi-line API outputs. But yes, makes sense to apply it globally. And I still want to find out whether these inconsistent API outputs are intended or not.

Then, this task was not successful, because there is a newer Uptime Kuma since last week (https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/releases).
Maybe the bot also uses the wrong mawk filtering?

I guess a misunderstanding, the PR is open and has not been merged into DEV branch yet. It will be done short before BETA testing. The GitHub agent already fetched the new version. see the linked PR above

Aaah, the last entry. I missed that, my fault. :-)

Great, this works as well on https://api.github.com/repos/louislam/uptime-kuma/releases instead of https://api.github.com/repos/louislam/uptime-kuma/releases/latest, and prints each match in every line on an individual output line, e.g. for sorting to find the latest (pre-)release asset.

@copilot
Please apply this change throughout the script as well as in https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/blob/dev/.github/workflows/update_urls.bash.

In update_urls.bash, while on it, please additionally change the following:

• For every software ID which has aARCH defined, move the URL to a new aURL array, call curl only once before the aARCH loop, cache the response in a response variable, and replace the curl call in aCHECK with echo "$response" accordingly. Add the GitHub token header as well for those new curl -sSf "${aURL[i]}" calls if the URL starts with https://api.github.com/.
