Make sure you have read the issue guidelines and that you filled out the entire template.

If you have an issue identical to this, do not add comments like "same here", "i have this too", instead add a 👍 reaction to the issue description. Thanks! 👍

This is correct. It should not be possible.
When a repository uses release assets (zip_release), only those assets are valid.

[L2jLiga]

Then what I can do to download version from master branch?
Currently I'm downloading it manually with wget and unzip.

Also I'm pretty sure that I was able to download master branch with "zipRelease" in previous HACS versions

[ludeeus]

Ask the author if you need a development version.
If that was possible before, that was a bug.

[L2jLiga]

Thanks, I've created issue in mikrotik router about inability to install from master.

Btw, from HACS size I guess it would be better to set "hide_default_branch" to true when "zip_release" is set to true, isn't it?

[ludeeus]

Yes

[tomaae]

yes, it was possible to install master even with zip releases. obviously master cannot have zip.
if this is intended behavior now, it would be better to hide master option by default when zip_release is selected.
