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.
enhancement help wanted

Hi,
There's a difference between the strategy of directory copy in pyupdater/client/updates.py
_win_overwrite => robocopy "{}" "{}" /e /move /V /PURGE > NUL and _win_overwrite_restart => robocopy "{}" "{}" /e /move /V > NUL
In my application I have a policy of urgent and non urgent update, and that changes the update, to restart imediatelly or wait the application restart.
So, imho, the "Non Purge" strategy is better because I create config file in application folder and the update cleans the configuration between updates!

Hi there, I'm working on a project that involves the use of SQLAlchemy, and the sqlalchemy-hana dialect/driver. I've been able to use spec files to deal with some hidden imports in the past, but I'm at a loss as to how to get sqlalchemy to cooperate. Pyinstaller has a default hook for sqlalchemy (https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/blob/develop/PyInstaller/hooks/hook-sqlalchemy.py) but I don't see one for pyupdater.
I've tried copying the hook from pyinstaller (and adding sqlalchemy_hana and/or sqlalchemy.dialects.hana to the hidden_imports) but still no dice. I'm pretty lost, even after reading the documentation and could definitely use a hand. Thanks!

Hello everyone, looking out for some help ASAP as this is taking way too long... I am running a Pyqt5 gui with pyupdater and using localhost/8000 as my URL for updates, upon clicking update I get this message on the console (python -m http.server 8000):
::1 - - [28/Jun/2021 14:09:37] "GET /versions-win.gz HTTP/1.1" 404 -
1 - - [28/Jun/2021 14:09:48] code 404, message File not found
I have not found anything online regarding this issue with versions-win.gz which doesn't seem to exist in any of the examples/projects that use Pyupdater. Can someone please help? Should I ignore this message? I have the patches as stable files and I think the issue with my executable not updating is this that the pyupdater is not able to locate versions-win.gz but where should I have it? How can I create it? Please help

My current code just restarts the executable without actually updating the version to the newest since as I press update it keeps on restarting the executable. Would greatly appreciate if someone could be of help.
