Arch Linux User Repository

I am running into an error where I cannot run the agent at all in the IDE. It says:

Error loading webview: Error: Could not register service worker: InvalidStateError: Failed to register a ServiceWorker: The document is in an invalid state..

I am running on:

Version: 0.7.34

Because of reasons (listed here), I think source code will never be available, so the -bin isn't needed. Instead, I think this should be named kiro-ide since Amazon refers to the software as Kiro IDE, now that a CLI component exists. As such I'm requesting a merge of this into kiro-ide

Oops! sorry it was not included in the sources. Fixed in version 1:0.6.18-3.

Error in latest 1:0.6.18-2 version

I’m getting this error during install:

install: cannot stat 'Kiro-LICENSE.txt': No such file or directory

@nsomnia Just a heads up, this brute force approach isn't necessary and might put undesirable load on their server. Instead, there's an official metadata endpoint that provides the current stable release version:

https://prod.download.desktop.kiro.dev/stable/metadata-linux-x64-stable.json

You can do curl <url> | jq .currentRelease to get the latest version directly. I have this set up in the .nvchecker.toml, so it's easy to check if the package is out of date with pkgctl version check (with devtools package installed).

Just a python rewrite, if anyone needs:

Blasts, like Frank Raynolds comes in BLASTING, through the URLs in essentially seconds. Whats his name Theo on Youtube said Kiro is kinda useless unless your using it on enterprise level codebases though due to its system instruction complexity.

@lisniper Thanks for the report and HN link. This appears to be an upstream bug affecting multiple users where the Google login fails to open the browser, though I can't reproduce it on Plasma with Firefox.

To help with debugging: Open Kiro's developer console (Help -> Toggle Developer Tools) before clicking Google login and capture any errors.

Next steps: This should be reported upstream in their GitHub issues or Discord with your console output and environment details (DE/WM, default browser). The extension host crashes from the HN post suggest an application-level auth handling bug rather than a packaging issue. I'll update the package once they provide a fix.

kiro-bin 0.1.23-1

1. xdg-settings get default-web-browser google-chrome.desktop

1. OS: EndeavourOS rolling rolling Kernel: x86_64 Linux 6.15.7-arch1-1 WM: i3

3: if click aws customer agreement. sevice term, privacy notice. the 3 hypeyclick . all ok .they all can open the deault web browser..

4: if click login with googleaccount. it cant open web browser.. nothing response!

others also meet the same problem!

Package has been updated to the latest version (0.1.19 or 202507200627 tarball). @lisniper it seems like upstream might have fixed that open default browser bug in a recent update (works for me at least), do you still see it on 0.1.19? If so, can you give more information about it?
