      as we get more users, we see the same errors occurring after each quarterly upgrade…

      i have started a script to do this for the users…

      lets collaborate and get it working…

      I’ll maintain a copy on my dropbox…
      https://www.dropbox.com/s/71xtxr18si7cpnq/upgrade-script.sh?dl=0

      right now it doesn’t DO the npm installs… (flag for that)
      we need to determine which files are important on the git pull ( i use fetch/diff to get the list of changed files)
      and what to do about them… reset hard or stash /stash pop after…

      know that package.json, package-lock.json and custom.css are files of concern so far…

      it find all modules which have a package.json, and goes into each and does npm install if the base npm install works…

      we know that some modules are difficult , because their electron version must match the base…
      how can we detect that and run electron-rebuild…

            we know that each release WILL modify package.json (at least version number)

            typically changes to package.json are because someone installed extra modules (npm install ??? will update the file)

              and another question

              I have 20 modules installed in the modules folder… but only 2 are active that have package.json files.

              should we upgrade ALL of them? or only the active ones…(with disabled: false)

              I suspect that most of the time, the list will be the same either way. mine is weird cause I help others with module problems by installing them myself (and don’t erase for a while)

              one point to note here
              to get JUST the enabled ones, we need to run a tiny javascript file, (so it will take two files)
              otherwise we can do this all in bash
