Tauri v1 to v2 upgrade issue with ACL: command plugin event|listen not allowed by ACL

[suciuandrei94]

Hello,

I've recently migrated an app from tauri v1 to tauri v2, the app starts fine but then when I try to use the functionality I get a problem with event listen (see screenshot)

I've got a capabilities json and I defined core:event:default and even added explicitly the permission but it just doesn't work.

{ "identifier": "default", "platforms": [ "macOS", "windows", "linux" ], "windows": [ "main-window" ], "permissions": [ "core:default", "log:default", "core:event:default", "core:event:allow-listen", "core:event:allow-unlisten", "core:event:allow-emit", "core:event:allow-emit-to", "core:window:default", "core:window:allow-hide", "core:tray:default", "fs:allow-read-file", "fs:allow-write-file", "fs:allow-read-dir", "fs:allow-copy-file", "fs:allow-mkdir", "fs:allow-remove", "fs:allow-remove", "fs:allow-rename", "fs:allow-exists", "http:default", "notification:default", "global-shortcut:allow-is-registered", "global-shortcut:allow-register", "global-shortcut:allow-register-all", "global-shortcut:allow-unregister", "global-shortcut:allow-unregister-all", "clipboard-manager:allow-read-text", "clipboard-manager:allow-write-text", "dialog:default", "notification:default", "os:default", "process:default", "http:default", "clipboard-manager:default", "shell:default" ] }

I checked gen/schemas/capabilities.json and the permissions are there...I'm struggling to fix this problem, spent probably more than 5 days on it.
Any useful advice? the application is quite complex, I created a small app which integrated event listen on the UI and it worked fine there.

Thank you very much!

Does this error still happen if you run cargo update in your src-tauri dir?

[suciuandrei94]

A strange thing happened. I was starting the app like this before the upgrade: cargo tauri build, then install then start the app and I got the problem from above.
Then without changing anything I started trying cargo tauri dev and the app starts but is stuck in the tray bar and cannot be opened. Then I tried again with build but it's still not working before and after the upgrades...

This is the output... may I reach you in private @FabianLars ?
