flatpakrepo causing the behavior

when I attempt to install the attached flatpakrepo file and press "Install", gnome-software seems stuck at the "Pending" stage with no proper feedback of what is going on or why it's taking so long time. I recorded the behavior:

I dont know the exact issue with this flatpakrepo file, but in any case i guess there's missing some timeout here and some error handling / feedback to the user.

Probably worth noting that flatpak --user remote-add some-name --from=<filename> works with the attached .flatpakrepo file
Comment 2 Richard Hughes 2016-09-22 15:07:23 UTC 
Was gnome-software process running before you double clicked the flatpakrepo file? If not, I think I've worked out the bug.
Comment 3 Richard Hughes 2016-09-22 15:24:41 UTC 
This fixes it for me:

    Ensure the network is checked if starting gnome-software by opening a file
    
    Fixes: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=771827


Can you apply that, install it systemwide, killall gnome-software instances, then double click the file please. Thanks!

Did you forget to push that commit or am I missing something?
Comment 5 Timm Bäder 2016-09-22 18:46:06 UTC 
nvm, it's there now :)

oh i guess the error handling still isn't there though (should i keep the bug open?) (in cases where stuff can go wrong)
