new update/upgrade script, ready for testing

sdetweil

@satsatt ok, when u have time , try the script again… thanks SO much for your help

Love this concept - question though - from what I’ve read (bits and pieces admittedly), it looks like it only handles the main software - could this be expanded to traverse your module directories and update them, so it could be run, say nightly, to check for and apply updates to everything?

Hi, great work! I Just used the script to update to 2.9.0 - the only thing I had to do manually was a

git reset --hard

before running the script (and afterwards restoring my backup of custom.css).

sdetweil

@BKeyport it could… it does traverse the modules already, but it currently only does the npm install part (to update to the current runtime dependencies) … but I could extend it easily to check for module updates (like the updatenotifier default module does) , and apply those

i am trying to get this tested so we can get it into the base (and off of my dropbox)

sdetweil

@rabbit83ka u should not have had to do the git reset --hard… please tell me why?

and my script saves and restores custom.css too

I just gave this a try on my house mirror. I didn’t apply and received the following output:

doing test run = true
update log will be in /home/pi/MagicMirror/installers/upgrade.log

This seems wrong. What can I do to help?

sdetweil

@bhepler ok, try again, fixed… assumed locale was set, wasn’t

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…
