Bug description

When I try to add a new service, it hangs for a long time (I folded laundry, I started cooking) on:

Extracting service - this may take a while

This happened with both:

• PostgreSQL
• Meilisearch

Is there something I am missing/something I did wrong?
I bought the pro license, went to services, wanted to install PostgreSQL and Meilisearch.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Herd
2. Install pro license
3. Go to services
4. Add service
5. Select Meilisearch (1.9.0 I think the version was, it is still loading)
6. Select autostart
7. Click on "Save"
   And now it hangs :/

I am so sorry for posting this bug report!

Apparently just restarting Herd helped. It almost looks like something didn't want to complete when I wanted to install a service straight after I installed my pro license?

So the steps to solve this for me:

1. install pro license
2. restart Herd
3. Now it works!

Can you check the contents of /Users/Shared/Herd/services?

Maybe there's a broken zip file or something similar?

Oh perfect!
Then I'll just close this issue and investigate this in a fresh VM and see if I can reproduce this 🙂
Glad it's working now

Hey @mpociot I also just activated my Pro license and seem to be experiencing the same as @LeShadow.

Seems as though the download finished nearly 15 minutes ago but I'm still on the create new service screen:

I'm able to unzip the file without issue so doesn't appear to be a broken zip. Restarting Herd allowed me to create the service without issue.

It was very quick! I'd go as far as to say the "this may take a while" text might be a tad pessimistic. I sat here for way too long until I thought maybe something was wrong 😄
