Hey there, First off, thanks so much for PyUpdater, it's a much-needed package in the python ecosystem and has been immensely useful in my own projects!
This patch should address an issue in windows, when the user has installed the .exe in a privileged folder (e.g. C://Program Files aka #35) and the update fails silently.
It should prompt the user for access.
I need to do some testing to verify this works on my end and will update this PR with functional proof.

Hi.
I'm using PyUpdater to provide updates for my applications both on windows and on mac, but when my code, applies an update on the mac side, it just goes busy and hang, but on windows it works fine and restarts and everything.
System information:
Systems that my code are tested on.
- Windows 10 1903.
- Mac OS Mojave. Python stuff:
- Python version: 3.7-32 bit (64 bit on mac)
- PyUpdater version: "3.1.1+3.gbed2239"
- Update channels tested: "Alpha and Beta"
- Pyupdater notes: Patching disable (shouldn't say anything, because I'm not using stable atm).
- Application UI Toolkit: WXPython version 4.0.3.
Code example:
^^ updater_client = Client(ClientConfig()) updater_client.refresh() progress_bar = wx.ProgressDialog(_("VisCon Updater"), _("Downloading update. Please wait!"), 100, None, wx.PD_APP_MODAL|wx.PD_AUTO_HIDE|wx.PD_ELAPSED_TIME|wx.PD_ESTIMATED_TIME|wx.PD_REMAINING_TIME) updater_client.add_progress_hook(lambda info: update_bar(info, progress_bar)) app_update = updater_client.update_check(variables.app_name, variables.version, variables.release_channel) if app_update is not None: variables.update_in_progress = True logging.debug("Update found.") logging.info("Updating VisCon.") logging.debug("Cleaning up old updates.") app_update.cleanup() logging.debug("cleanup done.") t = threading.Thread(daemon=True, target=download_update, args=(app_update, progress_bar,)) t.start() progress_bar.ShowModal()
def update_bar(info, bar): x = info.get(u'downloaded')/info.get(u'total')*100 wx.CallAfter(bar.Update, x)
def download_update(app_update, dialog): logging.info("Downloading update-package.") app_update.download(background=True) while app_update.is_downloaded() == False: pass logging.debug("Download done, removing progress bar.") wx.CallAfter(dialog.Destroy) logging.info("Preparing for update.") wx.CallAfter(wx.GetTopLevelWindows()[0].Close) logging.info("Executing update.") app_update.extract_restart() ``
Looking at #30 I have also tried to change the last function to: `` def download_update(app_update, dialog): logging.info("Downloading update-package.") app_update.download(background=True) while app_update.is_downloaded() == False: pass logging.debug("Download done, removing progress bar.") wx.CallAfter(dialog.Destroy) logging.info("Preparing for update.") wx.CallAfter(wx.GetTopLevelWindows()[0].Close) logging.info("Executing update.") if platform.system() == "Windows": app_update.extract_restart() return else: app_update.extract_overwrite() subprocess.Popen(sys.argv[0]) sys.exit()
``
Without success (it still works fine on windows as expected).
expected behavior
The user presses yes to download and install the update (not included here for brevity), the progress bar pops up, and shows the progress. When the download is complete, the progress bare gets destroyed, the window(s) of the program closes and the update is applied and the program restarts (update extracted followed by program restart).
What's actually happening:
On windows it goes like described above. On mac the following happens instead.
- User says yes to download and install the update.
- The progress bar pops up and shows the download progress.
- At some point near completion, the progress bar disappears and then nothing happens.
- After around 2-5 seconds, the program goes busy and stops responding.
- After a while, the standard apple "this program unexpectedly stopped responding" dialog pops up and asks if you want to terminate it.
- After force quitting the program and launching it again, the update hasn't been applied and the dialog that asks the user if they want to update ops up again.
- If the user presses yes, the progress bar shows for a split second, and then it's a 50/50 chance that it does the same described above, or actually applies the update and restarts.
Log output:
No errors in the log output, even with unexpected errors catched with sys.excepthook.
Hope I get a fix soon (I'm going mad lol :P )

As i needed a way to update my app and is impossible to me bundle it in a single file, i did some modifications to the source code implementing the support for onedir mode. most functions didn't required any modification, just small fixes and considerations.
i did the modifications based on @beniamino38 patch: https://gist.github.com/beniamino38/6fcb742b620085de75c22de340580f96 and #16
i have only tested it on MAC, i'm going to do the windows's test this week.
BTW, also patched the downloader.py file because i wasn't getting the correct download progress.

Hi,
I am trying to put PyUpdater to use, and I am kinda struggling to wrap my head around its concepts.
I have an wxPython-based app that needs to be built for two platforms. I managed to get spec files working, I got my runners working (GitLab CI), everything is slowly falling into place.
Now, I just started packaging and signing stuff with PYU, and I realized that .pyupdater folder and its config.pyu are the central source for all versions metadata, however, they don't really belong in the source code repository.
I need to build my app on two separate systems (one for macOS, one for Windows) and I want to have an alpha release for every commit made on alpha branch (and beta release on commits to beta branch, etc.) - but for this to happen, it seems I'd need to manage config.pyu in some other way.
One idea that comes to mind is to upload config.pyu after every successful build, and to download it before the next one - but I am not sure if this is the right way to do.

Hello there, I hope you are doing well.
I've been using PyUpdater for a while in my application, And I already have users use it.
but now I have a problem that is:
For some reason, the old updater URL is broken, So I switched to a new one, the problem is how the old user will be able to fetch new updates from the new URL? what should we do in that case? is it okay to only change the UPDATE_URL in the client.config (in end-user PC) file will fix the problem?
What is the purpose of having "UPDATE_URLS" : [] in config.pyu file?

Another update does exist and I have the following files uploaded:

- y-win-1.0.1.zip
- versions.gz
- keys.gz
Any reason for PyUpdater not to be finding the latest update? Any help for debugging?
I've searched around and documentation seems limited for this issue.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hey there, this is admittedly a niche situation, but it would be very nice to have:
So, I have a package that is installed as a windows service using pywin32. This has worked out so far, but as part of pywin32, I have a .pyd file (servicemanager.pyd) that is included as part of my package. The problem is that windows (especially windows server) tends to lock this file and consider it in-use, even if my service isn't running. However, this file essentially never changes, so if it isn't copied over as part of an update, it's not a problem. However, I still want to keep this file in the generated packages for first installs.
It seems like having an option to ignore errors when copying over specific files would be the easiest "fix," but if there's already a way to accomplish this, I'd love to know!
Thanks!

Hello, I've been using pyupdater with my application, but I have a question, which is: if in the version 1.0.0 I have a file called test.txt and later I wanted to delete that file so I deleted that file and then I created a newer version which is v 1.0.1.
In the user application (Client) the application found a newer version he download it and install it but I got surprised that the test.txt was still there because PyUpdater Overwritten the newer version on the old one. so that file can't be deleted. Am I wrong?
Please how can I let pyupdater delete deprecated files that are not bundled in the newer version?

Hi there.
The split version argument doesn't work fully as intended, because in some places, the mac/win/linux version information are still stored in the same file regardless. Following are all of the places that would needed to be split up, for this to work 100% of the time
- versions.gz
- keys.gz..pyupdater/config.pyu
Hope someone can take a look at this
