Add update site with command line do not work

[NicoKiaru]

As described in the forum thread, add an update site through command line do not work anymore. The updater sends an error [ERROR] Site 'QuickFigures' was already added! even if the site was NOT added.

I wonder if that's an unintended consequence of the new GUI for the updater.

I do not know if it's the appropriate fix, but changing:

imagej-updater/src/main/java/net/imagej/updater/CommandLine.java

Line 1276 in dd4b18a

final UpdateSite site = files.getUpdateSite(name, true);

to final UpdateSite site = files.getUpdateSite(name, false); fixes the issue.

OS: win 11, Fiji up to date on 14th July 2023 (ImageJ 2.14.0/1.5f Java 1.8.0_322 64 bits)

This issue has been mentioned on Image.sc Forum. There might be relevant details there:

@elevans @gselzer @hinerm I forgot to mention this during the dev meeting. If you have a bit of time to see if I'm the only one experiencing the issue and potentially to see where the error comes please let me know!

Because of this bug, I had to "disable" https://github.com/BIOP/biop-bash-scripts

Did you also test correct behavior if the update site indeed is active already? Or does that just suppress the error message?

[NicoKiaru]

Good point, yeah, I do not know what to test, so thanks for jumping in. I'll give it a shot.

Besides, I do not understand is how this could have worked before...

There's potentially the line 1277 and 1249 that need to be modified:

		final UpdateSite site = files.getUpdateSite(name, false);

But it does not really work in the end. After having executed:

./ImageJ-win64 --update add-update-site BAR http://sites.imagej.net/Tiago/
./ImageJ-win64 --ij2 --headless --update update

I still need to go to the GUI and click apply:

I wonder if sciview is affected by this, as they use the updater in headless mode for their deployment:
