My Basilisk can't see the update

Unread post by gracious1 » 2017-12-02, 13:31

I cannot upgrade Basilisk. I don't htink it's because of permissions. Basilisk just thinks it is up-to-date when it isn't.
Testing with a clean profile, I open Help -> About Basilisk. Then in the window it says "Checking for Updates", and then this becomes, "Basilisk is up-to-date", but the version is still 2017.11.13 not 2017.11.30 or 2017.12.01 .

I'll look into it. It may be a server-side issue.
Could you do me a favor and do the following:
  1. in about:config, set app.update.log to true.
  2. Open the browser console, clear it
  3. Open the about box to trigger an update check
  4. Copy and paste the resulting log lines about app update here

There was nothing to clear. I opened a clean profile.

Nothing appeared in Browser Console. Nothing to copy and paste here. :(

ADDENDUM: I don't know why Browser Console won't work. I guess that's another bug to report.

But I tried again by running basilisk from Terminal, and here is the output when I open Help -> About Bailisk :

Code: Select all

I retested, and I noticed this at startup (again from Terminal):

Code: Select all

I don't know whether that will be of any help, but I hope so.

Same problem here. Following the steps above - I get nothing in the console. 2017.11.13 (64-bit) "Basilisk is up to date".

From the terminal at startup...

Thanks.

The issue has been a miscommunication about build parameters with Travis, who used "basilisk-release" instead of "release" for update channel.
I'll have an update available when he's done re-building, and will use some nginx magic to deliver the update to incorrectly-configured versions as a workaround.

No further action is needed from you, just a little patience :)

As for the browser console... it works just fine for me, and displays the info I was looking for?
Note, this is the BROWSER console, not the WEB console. Ctrl+Shift+J

I am done rebuilding, so once Moonchild is done working his magic the internal updater should work correctly (sorry for the inconvenience!)

Confirmed the browser console remains blank for me as well. Likely issue 197.

Yes, I was very careful to use Browser Console.
It just doesn't appear to be working.

Internal updater works great in Manjaro Linux x64. Clicked the About, displayed that there was an update, browser updated and rebooted -- latest version installed.

Thanks for the fix!
