Updater not working under OctoPrint v1.8.0

[Taomyn]

I have updated to OctoPrint v1.8.0 (RPi 4) and everything looks fine except now when I perform a software update check it fails for ArcWelder:

I have tried all the release channels and they do the same, although the plug-in itself does seem to be still working for now.

Yeah, this has been broken since the beginning due to a typo in the plugin definition. I need to submit a pull request for Octoprint to fix existing installs. V sorry about that!

[Taomyn]

Has this been abandoned?

[FormerLurker]

@Taomyn, no it isn't. Just had to take a bit of a break. It's going to take a while to get to the backlog.

[Taomyn]

@FormerLurker no worries, no other issues with the plugin, just spotted when looking at another problem with my OctoPrint updates and thought I'd check here.

Yeah, troubling that plugin check-for-update won't work. Sounds like a simple fix (always "sounds like...", I know): just provide the right release and repo and user info, IIRC.
