Hi william@nutt.io,

Great news ! The problem you encountered previously is now fixed in our latest version of Bardeen - 2.45.

Please try updating your version of Bardeen and let me know if youā€™re still facing the same issue.

Hereā€™s how you can update your version of Bardeen:

  1. Open the Google Chrome browser.
  2. Navigate to your extensions page by either:
    ā—¦ Opening a new tab and typing chrome://extensions into the address bar.
    ā—¦ Clicking on the three-dot icon at the top right corner of the browser, selecting ā€œMore tools,ā€ and then ā€œExtensionsā€.
  3. Enable ā€œDeveloper modeā€ by toggling the switch in the top-right corner of the extensions page.
  4. Once Developer mode is enabled, additional options will appear on the page. Look for the Bardeen extension, Click Details and click the ā€œUpdateā€ button.
    This will force Chrome to download and install any available updates for Bardeen.

Amazing, thank you. However, the update seems to have come with a new bug: For some automation triggered by right-click, they appear to complete all actions, but they show as endlessly running in Bardeen. If I remove the right-click trigger, the issue goes away. Let me know if you need a recording.

Best,

No problem. In this recording youā€™ll see the automation continue running after all actions complete.

  • Hereā€™s the automation.
  • Removing the right-click trigger resolves the issue.

Thanks so much,
