Removing a circle breaks the Activity app

[paulvt]

Once you created and deleted a circle (via the Contacts) app, the Activity app cannot be used any more.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to the Contacts app
2. Add a circle "Test"
3. Delete this circle
4. Switch to the Activity app

The overview now spams "Could not load activities" messages (very quickly).

This is Circles app version 28.0.0 on Nextcloud 28.0.4.1. Installed via Docker (community) on PHP 8.2/Apache with PostgreSQL as database.

The code that causes the error:

/var/www/nextcloud/apps/circles/lib/Activity/Provider.php

private function setIcon(IEvent $event): void {
	$path = $this->urlGenerator->imagePath(
		Application::APP_ID,
		'circles.' . $this->activityManager->getRequirePNG() ? 'png' : 'svg'
	);
	$event->setIcon($this->urlGenerator->getAbsoluteURL($path));
}

---

and here is the fix:

private function setIcon(IEvent $event): void {
	$extension = $this->activityManager->getRequirePNG() ? 'png' : 'svg';
	$path = $this->urlGenerator->imagePath(
		Application::APP_ID,
		'circles.' . $extension
	);
	$event->setIcon($this->urlGenerator->getAbsoluteURL($path));
}

UPDATE:

I was looking in to the source code and It appears that they have already fixed the bug using a different version from the provided fix above. You can either use my version or simply wait for an update. I believe both versions should work. 🤗

Fixed in #1544 / #1620
