new update/upgrade script, ready for testing

[BKeyport]

@sdetweil I will clearly keep it watched… thanks for the info!

@sdetweil Same error than @satsatt

I had to restore custom.css because the git-reset deleted it (script backed up custom.css correctly).

[sdetweil]

@rabbit83ka hm… can u send me the install.log? same userid as here on gmail

i fixed the error that @satsatt had (or so I thought)
i check for english locale, if not set or not current, I add an alias to use english to get the right message output
then restore the the alias or remove it…

yes, starting with version 2.9.0 they will no longer track it so changes should not be lost…
I will leave the save/restore in

Used your update/upgrade script last night. No issues. Thank you, Sam. :thumbsup:

Meaning other than the defaults? I have nearly all of my modules installed, as well as my favorites from other devs. Did something happen to them? hahah

[sdetweil]

@Mykle1 no. Just checking on how it was handled.

Could u email me the Upgrade log

[Mykle1]

@sdetweil

Where is it saved to? I can’t seem to find it in Home or the MagicMirror dir

[sdetweil]

@Mykle1 in the installers folder… (where the install script is and where the upgrade and pm2 scripts should go

dang it… u mean you didn’t READ the message the script put out about where the log is? lol…

uhhhh . . . real men don’t read messages. ;-)

Sent the file to your gmail

@sdetweil - Hmm. Curious. Test run of the script looked good. Added the apply keyword and I’m getting a git error.

any *-lock.json files do not need to be saved
do you want to save these files for later   (Y/n)?n
fatal: Unable to create '/home/pi/MagicMirror/.git/index.lock': File exists.

Another git process seems to be running in this repository, e.g.
an editor opened by 'git commit'. Please make sure all processes
are terminated then try again. If it still fails, a git process
may have crashed in this repository earlier:
remove the file manually to continue.

there were merge errors
you should examine and resolve them
using the command git log --oneline --decorate
a31546b (HEAD -> master, tag: v2.8.0) Merge pull request #1717 from MichMich/develop

Then a bunch of commit statements. There is no git process running at the moment, but that index.lock file does exist. After deleting that file, it worked like a charm. Thanks!

to git that means it is already running… on exit it cleans up…

should I add handling this error to the script?
I can tell if its there and git is not running.

great feedback… thanks

[sdetweil]

@bhepler i added handling for the git lock file…

if git is NOT running, I erase the dangling lock file
if git IS running, and this is an APPLY run, i change the run back to test mode, and advise to correct the problem

[Mykle1]

I just did another run of your upgrade script, Sam. All went well.

MM 2.8.0 --> 2.9.0
Ubuntu 16.04.6 (downgraded from 18.04)

[sdetweil]

@Mykle1 on the 1st run, no modules were updated… there should have been a message in the log… i didn’t see it… did u see any this time??

[Mykle1]

@sdetweil

Sorry, I was distracted here, Sam. I just emailed you the upgrade.log

[sdetweil]

@Mykle1 thanks… they(last night and today) actually look good
i did make one change, the merge results generated one LONE line… i added some formatting to make it readable

[sdetweil]

@Mykle1 well, there is installed modules, and there is active modules…

i only update the ACTIVE (ie, not disabled: true) modules with package.json files

[Mykle1]

@sdetweil

Understood. :thumbsup:
