Pimatic updating changed?

---

Don’t if its right or wrong, but i updated several plugins trough the mobile frontend. Normally the updates take quite long. But now its really quick and i don’t get any update info? Just update finished and restart pimatic.

Did @sweetpi change this or is there something wrong?

Yes, the update process was improved some releases ago. For arm architecture the plugins get precompiled and packed so that that these only have to be extracted.

@sweetpi Nice! its really quick now

@sweetpi I kinda miss the visual feedback. Now I am just staring at an almost empty screen. Mayby you can make some kind of process bar or something like that so you know its working.

Updating is a lot faster then before!

Edit: i also noticed that rules will be executed while updating Pimatic. This caused for a couple of errors in the log files. Is there a way to pause the rules while updating Pimatic?

Do you have an example for this?

@sweetpi I have a rule that executes a command every 5 min but when updating pimatic the rule couldn’t find the right file (probably because the update was running).

I don’t have the debug log anymore, if the next update will be available i will capture the error and post it here.

Edit: i see there is an update available. i will update tonight and post my findings here.

@sweetpi i’m trying to update from 0.8.63 to 0.8.64 but it keeps saying: “Installing updates, Please be patient…” over 1 hour now.
i restarted pimatic but that did not help.

Log only gives one line :

19:37:03.953 [pimatic] info: Installing: "pimatic" from precompiled source (node-11-armhf-linux-0.8.64)

Edit: 2 min later i get :

info [pimatic]: Installing: "pimatic-mobile-frontend" from precompiled source (node-11-armhf-linux-0.8.60)

looks like something is happening now. lets see if i get the same error as before.

Edit 2 : wauw… update complete no error found yet

did some digging in the logs and found the error i got when updating to 0.8.63 :

Unhandled rejection Error: Error getting attribute vale for Pimatic Versie: cat: /home/pi/pimatic-app/node_modules/pimatic/package.json: No such file or directory
