How can I get the debug extension for a test build?

Tutorials and Tips

I have a segfault in the test build for flathub-beta with the new 22.08 freedesktop runtime, so I’d like to debug it. The buildbot tells me where I can find the flatpakref for the build, but how do I get the corresponding .Debug package? (I tried inserting .Debug before .flatpakref in the URL, but that gives a 404, while the directory gives a 403)

Hi, I now it’s an old question, but I was facing it today as well. There is a --include-debug option to flatpak install, so you would have to run:

flatpak install --user --include-debug https://url.to.the/test/build.flatpakref

This will download the .Debug extension as well.

Thank you.

Unfortunately this requires a newer flatpak version than mine (1.10.7 / Debian bullseye), so wouldn’t have helped me at the time.
