Hey All,
v4 was a cluster of my own making. Essentially not giving the project enough of my time. My sinceriest apologies. There is some good news though. I've finally got over my fear of front end development and have been learning quiet a lot in that area and have some cool projects under my belt. I finally feel like a half way complete developer. 😅
I initially wrote this project while learning how to code. Shotly after going though learn python the hard way. Shout out to Zed Shaw.
Ok let's get down to business.
Lots of thinks I'd like to improve on.
PyUpdater v5 will be a clean break, saving the good stuff. Thinking in the since of a toolkit where parts are easily replaced.
Gaols
- Remove all compatiabilty code
- Remove as my 3rd party libraries as possible.
- Only supported versions of python. We end when the PSF ends.
- Support other hosting proviers. .i.e Github releases
- Make a way to migrate from v3 PyUpdatr projects
- Best effort on migrating from v4 PyUpdater projects, The config file could be broken beyound repair. Gather feedback during alpha/beta phases.
Questions / Comments / Concerns are very welccome.

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.

After building and deploying the application, upon an update, the application fails to reload, either using extract_restart() or extract_overwrite(). Specially on restart, it renders these errors:

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.
