From 72de35a2a11f1be25a10f8e40b4eca7dd3570e98 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Baker Date: Mon, 5 Dec 2016 14:08:27 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Switch back to Squirrel installer which it turns out is by far the lesser of two evils. * Auto-update works with a proxy * The update process is reasonably atomic & faster, rather than running the uninstaller then the installer, leaving you with a broken install if you shut down your machine at the wrong time * Gets the update URL the same way as on mac, rather than baking it into the app at build time from package.json. We don't want it in package.json because only our builds want our update URL. --- electron/src/electron-main.js | 62 +++++++++++++++++++---------------- package.json | 5 +-- scripts/electron-package.sh | 30 ++++++++--------- 3 files changed, 50 insertions(+), 47 deletions(-) diff --git a/electron/src/electron-main.js b/electron/src/electron-main.js index a8bdc7f9..2ca0b9d3 100644 --- a/electron/src/electron-main.js +++ b/electron/src/electron-main.js @@ -17,11 +17,13 @@ See the License for the specific language governing permissions and limitations under the License. */ -const electron = require('electron'); +// Squirrel on windows starts the app with various flags +// as hooks to tell us when we've been installed/uninstalled +// etc. +const check_squirrel_hooks = require('./squirrelhooks'); +if (check_squirrel_hooks()) return; -// Auto updater from the 'electron-auto-updater' package for NSIS -// auto-update support (not the one that comes with electron). -const autoUpdater = require('electron-auto-updater').autoUpdater; +const electron = require('electron'); const url = require('url'); const VectorMenu = require('./vectormenu'); @@ -43,7 +45,7 @@ const PERMITTED_URL_SCHEMES = [ ]; const UPDATE_POLL_INTERVAL_MS = 60 * 60 * 1000; -const INITIAL_UPDATE_DELAY_MS = 5 * 1000; +const INITIAL_UPDATE_DELAY_MS = 30 * 1000; let mainWindow = null; let appQuitting = false; @@ -88,47 +90,44 @@ function installUpdate() { // for some reason, quitAndInstall does not fire the // before-quit event, so we need to set the flag here. appQuitting = true; - autoUpdater.quitAndInstall(); + electron.autoUpdater.quitAndInstall(); } function pollForUpdates() { try { - autoUpdater.checkForUpdates(); + electron.autoUpdater.checkForUpdates(); } catch (e) { console.log("Couldn't check for update", e); } } -function startAutoUpdate() { - if (process.platform != 'darwin' && process.platform != 'win32') { - return; +function startAutoUpdate(update_base_url) { + if (update_base_url.slice(-1) !== '/') { + update_base_url = update_base_url + '/'; } try { - // Since writing, the electron auto update process has changed from being - // completely different between platforms to being differently completely - // different.
