Tip: A note on github changes: include-fragment element

Good evening folks!

If you have apps from Github you'll notice that many are not parsing anymore the last few days. This is because many apps on Github are now using a bleeding edge feature, "include-fragment", which will collect the contents of another URL and inject it into the body of the generated page, effectively creating a client-side include.

In all the apps I've tested (only about a dozen right now) the downloads are being pulled from a subfolder of "/releases/" called "/expanded_assets/" with either release or tag and the release or tag name. If you're having problems with a Github download, I'd recommend a two-step download using /latest then collecting the /expanded_assets/ address then collect the download address from that as you normally would.

I updated all my Github apps back when I created this thread and just now had to create a couple more. The list below are sample Github variables. This relies on Kuppet (though it might not always be necessary). The {version}, {sdownloadsource} and {sdownloadstub} each use "content from url (regex)". The other two use "textual content".

{version} variable:
url:   https://github.com/VirusTotal/yara/releases/latest
pattern:   releases/tags?/v?([\d\.]+)

{sdownloadsource} variable:
url:   https://github.com/VirusTotal/yara/releases/latest
pattern:   "([^'"\s]+expanded_assets[^'"\s]+)"

{sdownloadstub} variable:
url:   {>}{sdownloadsource}
pattern:   (/[^'"]+download/v{version}[^'"]+.zip)

{sdownload} variable:
text:   https://github.com{sdownloadstub}

{schangelog} variable:
text:   https://github.com/VirusTotal/yara/releases/latest
 

The {sdownloadstub} is the actual file pattern pulled from the new expanded_assets path. While this pattern will work for some, you'll need to update it for most apps.
