Pod official page redirected to homepage/github source page

[dennycd]

Hi, one of our pod (https://cocoapods.org/pods/BoringSSL-GRPC) is always redirected to its homepage URL instead of landing on the official pod page on cocoapod. I noticed there are a number of similar reports having the same issues

#448
#443

Appreciate if anyone can help look into it

[gammelby]

We have the same issue for several pods, some listed in #390 - and https://cocoapods.org/pods/NabtoEdgeClientSwift, https://cocoapods.org/pods/NabtoEdgeClientApi.

We are facing the same issue as well https://cocoapods.org/pods/OTXCFramework .

Same is happening with https://cocoapods.org/pods/RevenueCat:

This looks like a bug?

Any updates on this issue? We are seeing a similar problem for our project.

[danielamitay]

This is the root cause: https://github.com/CocoaPods/cocoapods.org/blob/master/app.rb#L114-L124

Essentially, if Cocoapods is not able to fetch the Github metrics (stargazers, etc) for whatever reason, it will simply redirect to the pod's homepage.

As far as I can tell, these metrics are no longer displayed anywhere in the Cocoapods pages, so ideally this check would simply be removed, as well as the metrics fetch/anything depending on it. I could be wrong about this still being in use though.

The metrics in this case also includes things like the rendered readme/changelog, so there wouldn't be anything to render without that info! Those are generated by https://github.com/CocoaPods/cocoapods-metadata-service - so maybe the issue lays there

[NachoSoto]

@orta looks like CocoaPods/cocoapods-metadata-service#24 might have been the fix? 🙏🏻
Are there any other errors that are still causing this?

[orta]

Yeah, it looks like about 20 times a day we hit this in the logs too:

so maybe not completely done
