@Dukeman330 I think emerald left a similar message on a previous PR for you, but plugin testing reports are only meant for plugins that have already passed code review and are on the testing store (the ones with the green check mark for deployment instead of a yellow pending icon). Additionally, please follow the plugin testing report template located at https://wiki.deckbrew.xyz/user-guide/testing

beebls · 2026-01-07T23:10:58Z

@Torther your fork is behind the plugin-database and as such the script is detecting other plugin changes that aren't yours. Please rebase onto to main so that the only change is your own plugin

Invalid as it does not contain the required format

EMERALD0874

LGTM, though I'm not sure if /bin will be build/distributed with the plugin when built by our Actions workflow. If this causes problems, please try experimenting with the defaults folder.

Torther · 2026-01-13T02:39:16Z

@tikh-iv Based on the logs, the functionality should be working normally. Have you ever tried selecting a screenshot in the media library and choosing "Copy to Clipboard" from the More options? Even if there is nothing in the clipboard, it will be displayed as "(empty)".
If possible, could you provide specific screenshots of the black screen page?

Torther · 2026-01-13T02:45:04Z

@tikh-iv I've found the reason. The automatically built plugin does not include the frontend pages, which is why the page content cannot be displayed.

tikh-iv · 2026-01-13T15:49:23Z

Unfortunately it is still not working. Version 1.0.0-68a9f9f

"Empty" means literally empty.

@tikh-iv You're testing on an outdated version. Please make sure the last 7 characters of the plugin version match with the latest commit hash (pictured). The Decky team has to approve new updates to the testing store build, even within a PR.

Feedback

The history page should show that the history is disabled, if it is disabled
I noticed the history works through polling, I would like an option to not use polling and have a manual refresh button instead on the history page.

Appreciation

Lovely plugin, actually really helpful for my development workflow :)
For example I now

Build my plugin through a pipeline on github
Copy the URL from the zip artifact
Send the url to the deck's clipboard
Install my dev build through the url

EMERALD0874 · 2026-01-14T15:21:29Z

@Torther In the future, please follow all instructions in the PR template. Your plugin needs to be tested on Preview (not Stable, see the earlier comment from @github-actions) and this has possibly delayed your plugin's inclusion in the store.

Also, I wanted to ask — does your plugin persist clipboard history through device restarts? I'd test it myself to see, but I'm not able to use my Deck for a bit. This won't affect whether your plugin is included in the store or not. Mainly asking to figure out if we should approve another plugin applying to be on the plugin store.

Torther · 2026-01-15T05:46:34Z

@EMERALD0874 Currently, clipboard history is only stored in memory, so it will be lost when the device restarts. Perhaps in the future, a feature to persistently store clipboard history on disk will be added.
