Update issue from custom package

[yusf]

Something is off with the update mechanism regarding my Matrix package. I have to manually look for updates and manually upgrade it. I migrated the package from msbt's predecessor by adding it to the official app update channel.

@yusf I created a new topic.

In the previous release, we changed the update polling frequency. It could be just that. We poll only 1 time a day now, previously we used to a poll for updates like every hour. This was putting a lot of load on our appstore server for no real benefit. In the next release, we have reached a compromise of polling 4 times a day. Is this what you are seeing?

[yusf]

I doubt it but I'll keep better tabs on the duration between version release and any delays in automatic upgrading.

[yusf]

Still on Matrix package 1.2.0 here. Automatic Updates currently enabled, of course.

[msbt]

@yusf mine updated 4 days ago

@yusf Try disabling then re-enabling auto updates??

[girish]

I suspect the appStoreId is not set correctly in the database (since @yusf is coming from a custom app).

can you check what this provides (you have to substitute the theappid` below (this is the id in the url bar when you go the configure view of the app):

mysql -uroot -ppassword -e "SELECT appStoreId FROM apps WHERE id='theappid'"

[yusf]

@murgero Did try that, yes.
@girish ERROR 1046 (3D000) at line 1: No database selected.

Missed the database name in the command line:

mysql -uroot -ppassword -e "SELECT appStoreId FROM box.apps WHERE id='theappid'"

Think I found the culprit:

Let's see if it triggers the update tonight.

[yusf]

Alas it did not. It's still prompting me to manually update.

[girish]

@yusf I think I know what might be the problem. IIRC, the custom synapse package used very high version numbers. When I published to App Store, I reset it back to 0.1.0.

Can you get the output of this:

    mysql -uroot -ppassword -e "SELECT manifestJson FROM box.apps WHERE id='theappid'"

@yusf said in Update issue from custom package:

"version":"1.2.0"

Looks like @girish suspicion was correct. I think the best way to migrate this would be to follow https://cloudron.io/documentation/backups/#import-app-backup by installing a new fresh app and importing there the backup of the old one. (until the new one works, do not uninstall the old one)

We used to have a way in the command line tool to override an app with a specific app package version, but that seems to have gone missing with the move from cloudron install to cloudron update. Have to see if this is worth bringing back.

[yusf]

@nebulon Thanks. Will try it.
