assistant web switch repo Internal Server Error

Steps to reproduce:

create 2 separate repos
Top right: Repository: path dropdown
- Select the other repository

Expected result

I expect the UI to switch over to the other repo.

Actual result

This is macOS 11.2.1 (Big Sur), installed via brew install git-annex. I've tried the same behaviour on 2 separate macs, same error both times. It seems like the switching in the web UI is a bit tricky. I've also tried a few browsers (Safari, Chrome) and my dev browser without any ad blocking. It seems like there's an HTTP request to /config/repository/switchto/... which returns a 500.

Workaround

It seems that if I stop the webapp, and start it again, it has actually switched repos. So it's a bit inconvenient, but usable nonetheless.

Thanks

I've just started the missing of moving from nextcloud to git-annex after the second random deletion of data by nextcloud. I'm deeply grateful to the authors for giving me the confidence of git to manage my files. Wonderful.
