openweather plugin ?

[a-lurker]

This topic has come up before but I haven't seen an answer. Symptom: AltuUI says there is a new update available, so you tell it to do the update but the update does not happen. AltUI remains stuck on it's old version. On other occasions it works OK. So my version is:

AltUI v2.49.2546, © 2019

AltUI says this:

a newer version #2551 of ALTUI is available, do you want to upgrade ?

    add scrollable dialog for long boxes
    bugfix: clock display on safari
    remote url update ( @olov )
    update jquery and bootstrap versions
    credential to camera device url ( @rafale77 )
    ignore Ezlo hub ( @reneboer)

Track through the JavaScript and find that this issues the update command:

	function _triggerAltUIUpgrade(newversion,newtracnum) {
		var url = '?id=action&serviceId=urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1&action=CreatePlugin&PluginNum=8246&Version={1}&TracRev={0}'.format(newversion,newtracnum);
		return _httpGet(url,{}).always( function() {
			PageMessage.message(_T("Upgrade Request succeeded, a Luup reload will happen"),"success");
		});
	};

And the url variable equals:

url: "?id=action&serviceId=urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1&action=CreatePlugin&PluginNum=8246&Version=40628&TracRev=2551"

All looks good so far. I manually issue the same url complete with my openLuup ip_address in a local browser. Update fails - looks like AltUI is doing as it should:

http://ip_address:3480/data_request?id=action&serviceId=urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1&action=CreatePlugin&PluginNum=8246&Version=40628&TracRev=2551

In openLuup I see:

All looks OK. Then I check GitHub. It shows the latest changes to the version 2551. However this page says the latest version is 2550.

So I wondering what's going on. Seems the latest version number is not being picked by the installer? (not sure how it works.) Is it possible for openLuup to log a bit more about the version it's trying to install. As this call returns.

https://api.github.com/repos/amg0/ALTUI/contents?ref=2551
	
message	"No commit found for the ref 2551"
documentation_url	"https://docs.github.com/v3/repos/contents/"

But this works fine:

https://api.github.com/repos/amg0/ALTUI/contents?ref=2550

So it looks like AMG0 doesn't always update the repository with whatever is needed to get this to work (I imagine that's easy to forget). But could openLuup send back a fail result to AltUI and AltUI pick that up? Currently it looks like AltUI always assumes everything went OK. Or somehow; could openLuup log and/or notify the user what went wrong?

[therealdb]

If I remember correctly, @amg0 has to tag the build and @akbooer notified him a couple of time in the past.

[a-lurker]

Perhaps AltUI could just check that the version it's trying to update to, is actually available and perhaps fall back to the latest one that is?

[akbooer]

Try just to update from the openLuup Plugins page, using master in the update box.

[a-lurker]

Yep - putting "master" in there works fine. Thanks for that. I suspect there are a lot of people out there that experience this issue, so it's good to finally understand exactly why it happens. Can a permanent solution be worked out?

[akbooer]

It would have to be an AltUI solution, not an openLuup one. Vera would also be facing the same issue.

[a-lurker]

Yep - totally agree. Regardless I'm totally appreciative to yourself and AMG0. All my stuff just works. So much so, I rarely have to make a post here or on the dark side. My only fear is what happens to the poor suckers that might buy my house in the (long term) future! My home automation works great but needs some very very very serious massage sometimes! Regardless the wall on/off switches still work. Mmmmm I think so - at least? I rarely touch them!!

[akbooer]

Yep, exactly the same boat here!
