Anyway to automatically upgrade VSCodium with system setup on Windows? #411

playgithub · 2020-06-07T05:58:01Z

Now I have to check github periodically to see if there is a new version.

Lonniebiz · 2020-06-07T06:03:31Z

Well, you can automate that too :) Sorry, I just discovered this project moments ago. So, hi.

stripedpajamas · 2020-06-07T16:10:34Z

Auto updates should work out of the box. We run a small server (https://GitHub.com/VSCodium/update-api) that VSCodium calls to check for the latest release on GitHub.

Have you noticed that updates are not working? If so can you provide some more context about what version, OS, etc you're running?

playgithub · 2020-06-07T16:22:46Z

It's greate.
I'll take care for the next update.
Thanks

Lierrmm · 2020-06-08T07:54:50Z

Just to add on to this;

When requesting an update from Windows 10 1909 the update-api returns a 404 status with no further information.
I have provided an image below of the notification if it helps at all.

This is on version 1.45.1 of VSCodium.

playgithub · 2020-06-08T09:23:20Z

VSCdoium 1.45.1
Windows 10
Check for Updates, shows:

stripedpajamas · 2020-06-08T18:38:55Z

@Lierrmm can you provide OS + arch + type of installation (archive, system, user)?

I just poked the API with the various combinations and look good. I suspect MS may have changed the way in which they call the Update API for some specific combination.

https://vscodium.now.sh/api/update/win32-x64-system/stable/asdf
https://vscodium.now.sh/api/update/win32-x64-user/stable/asdf

win32-x64-system was the version of VSCodium I installed.

System Details from winver: Windows 10 Pro 1909 Build: 18363.836

alex-quiniou · 2020-06-09T14:06:37Z

I have the same issue

Version: 1.45.1 (system setup)
Commit: 5763d909d5f12fe19f215cbfdd29a91c0fa9208a
Date: 2020-05-15T10:23:54.161Z

Node.js: 12.8.1
V8: 7.8.279.23-electron.0
OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.18363

I use the install x64 version : VSCodiumSetup-x64-1.45.1

stripedpajamas · 2020-06-09T23:59:35Z

Based on this code snippet, I think the issue is that MS is no longer sending "-system" up for x64 system install.

As far as I can tell (pls check my work!), the platform combinations should hit the following urls (asdf is the "commit" portion of the url):

arch	installer	url
x64	system	`/api/update/win32-x64/stable/asdf`
x64	user	`/api/update/win32-x64-user/stable/asdf`
x64	archive	`/api/update/win32-x64-archive/stable/asdf`
ia32	system	`/api/update/win32/stable/asdf`
ia32	user	`/api/update/win32-user/stable/asdf`
ia32	archive	`/api/update/win32-archive/stable/asdf`

The fix should be fairly trivial change in https://github.com/VSCodium/update-api (PRs welcome; I'll work on it if I have a free hour to focus).

GitMensch · 2020-06-11T22:24:22Z

Just a related note- auto-updates via package managers (of this and a multitude of other software) is a general option, too (works fine for me on Trisquel GNU/Linux, should work fine on other systems, too as long as you use the available package managers - see https://vscodium.com/#install).
I'd still like to see the win32-x64 updates working, too.

playgithub · 2020-06-15T09:55:35Z

From 1.45.1 to 1.46.0, it seems working, it shows downloading in the menu.
Because of my network environment the download speed is at 0.1MB/s.
However it works.

GitMensch · 2020-06-19T10:45:01Z

Didn't work for me with:

Still getting a 404 error.
Reopen?

@playgithub Does it work for you? Do you also use a x64 version?

playgithub · 2020-06-19T12:53:24Z

It shows downloading as Menu/Help/Dowloading Update...
It's very slow, it'll take hours to download.
Tested for about 5 minutes, not error message.
Also checked the log, no error.

GitMensch · 2020-06-19T14:56:39Z

@playgithub Do you have a 32bit or 64bit version of VSCodium? [if not100% sure: open it, open it, then open taskmanager->details, right click on the columns, choose "platform" and have a look]
In my case it is a 64bit version of VSCodium and the previous discussion here hinted that only those are broken.

playgithub · 2020-06-19T15:16:21Z

x86 64bit

playgithub · 2020-06-20T05:58:18Z

With a proxy, successfully updated from 1.46.0 to 1.46.1
vscodium 1.46.0 x64 on Windows 10 pro x64

GitMensch · 2020-06-20T11:17:50Z

So do the people that get a 404 need to configure a proxy? If yes how?
Note: all extensions can be installed and updated via VSCodium fine, the only thing that never worked so far was the integrated update...

playgithub · 2020-06-20T11:28:35Z

On Windows, shadowsocks client will set the proxy in system level automatically, vscodium use that automatically.

Heptazhou · 2020-06-21T05:58:04Z

I believe the problem is still with *-system cases.

@playgithub Update does work in a user setup but not in a system setup.

It shows downloading as Menu/Help/Dowloading Update...
It's very slow, it'll take hours to download.
Tested for about 5 minutes, not error message.
Also checked the log, no error.

@stripedpajamas I wonder if you have time to take a look at VSCodium/update-api#5, see whether it meets #411 (comment).

changemenemo · 2020-07-12T18:02:10Z

So I've searched for hours now if it was my pihole or nextdns filter but it seems not. I still have 404 error.
X64 system windows 10
general setup not user setup.
Did you succeed to make some changes about the update process or not at all?

GitMensch · 2020-07-13T05:19:46Z

@boistordu The current state is "works with user setup, doesn't with system setup".
That's the reason this issue is kept open. But I do suggest to rename it to make that clear - @playgithub can you please do this?

playgithub · 2020-07-13T08:51:20Z

of cause, edited

stripedpajamas · 2020-07-13T17:23:40Z

Thanks to @Heptazhou for the PR; https://vscodium.now.sh/api/update/win32-x64/stable/asdf now returns an update blob. Can the people who have Windows x64 system setup see if the auto update is working? If you've already updated to latest version, you at least shouldn't get a 404 anymore. The responses from the update API for valid inputs are 200 (update available), and 201 (no update available).

GitMensch · 2020-07-13T18:55:56Z

Update worked like a charm (the only issue is that the temporary installer has no code-certificate at all, but that looks like already been handled by #174). I think this can be closed now.
Note: I guess the new issue tracked at #447 just come in "naturally", not by the update procedure.
