Hello Bukkit community! I was working on this library, and I decided to make a updater for it, so I did, and I decided to share it with you guys I am so stubborn, should've just used gravit'ys updater Updater by ArsenArsen Sorry for the dramatic titleThis updater is nothing special, but here is a brief summary of it's features: Can be used in a simple manner, or complex manner Has callbacks Can handle ZIP updates (needs testing) Channel1 support Tags support, example, if updates name ends with -DEV don't download it Stores backups Has javadocs Handles moved resources Open for suggestions About the last one, suggest here, just make sure to add the enhancement tag 1 - Channels are release types Obtaining To get yourself updater you can add this repository and dependency Code: ... <repository> <id>arsens-repo</id> <url>https://repo.arsenarsen.com/content/repositories/snapshots/</url> </repository> ... <dependency> <groupId>com.arsenarsen</groupId> <artifactId>updater</artifactId> <version>1.1.8-R0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> </dependency> ... Orr, if you, like most people, don't use Maven you can go to my GitHub and get it there. Here is the link: link No offense for anyone using it, I use it too. Usage There is one pre-request: Your names must be in format: NAME vVERSION or NAME VERSION You can update your plugins with a simple line of code in your onEnable method, as shown in this snippet below: Code: Updater updater = new Updater(this, id, getConfig().getBoolean("update", true)[, callbacks]); Here is an explanation of what is going on: this - Reference to your plugins main class id - your plugins ID on BukkitDev and Curse getConfig(... - Checks the update boolean in your config, to make your plugin policy compliant [, callbacks] - Optional list of callbacks you want to be called after the update. Callbacks will hold a reference to the updater aswel as the update result. How does it work? who caresInner workings of Updater look complex, but are veeeerrrry simple. Basically what happens is Get a response from servermods Get the last file in the response Store files MD5, name and release type, as known as channel If channels and tags are OK We check if the name, without tags, matches .*\sv?[0-9.]* If not, we say Cannot parse name and return Get old and new version to the same length Otherwise split it into version number and name using \sv? as the delimeter Split that using \., which means just dot, as a delimeter Go through gained strings and parse them to integers and save Go through integers and compare them If we encounter that new versions integer is bigger than the old ones, say that the update is needed and break If update is needed If tags arent ok, get the next file, and so on, and if we hit the end, there is no update. That was the update checking procedure, and here is the download one Download it If its MD5 is incorrect, check if line one says that it was moved If it does repeat download for moved files URL Otherwise download failed If its not on the allowed channels list or has a skip tag, repeat the whole process for the next one Quick method summaryHere is a list of methods, with explanations: setID(int) - Sets the plugin ID getID() - Gets the ID registerCallback(UpdaterCallback) - Adds a new callback to be ran update() - Attempts to update, failing silently if there is no updates checkForUpdates([force]) - Checks for updates, overwriting cache if needed isUpdated() - Checks if the last update ran successfully Well, thats about it, have a good day folks! P.S. Bug reports and suggestions are highly encouraged, at this link: link Changelog: 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT - Initial 1.0.0-R0.2-SNAPSHOT - Fix channel support 1.1.0-R0.1-SNAPSHOT - Add callbacks 1.1.1-R0.1-SNAPSHOT - Add tags support 1.1.2-R0.1-SNAPSHOT - Add log, move all work to plugins/AUpdater 1.1.3-R0.1-SNAPSHOT - Fix way updates are detected 1.1.4-R0.1-SNAPSHOT - Add some more endpoints, unit testing, global config, and a DISABLED enum constant 1.1.5-R0.1-SNAPSHOT - Try fixing #2 1.1.6-R0.1-SNAPSHOT - BukkitDev update 1.1.8-R0.1-SNAPSHOT - Code cleanup Somehow I skipped 1.1.7????? TODO: Add global configuration Add ability to filter updates, to check is it compatible with the Minecraft version used
@ArsenArsen Will definitely use it. Just one question; How does it know when an updated version of a plugin has come out?
Needs improvement, but if the last MD5 in the JSON array that is the servermods response is different than the file one, update. I think I should make it somehow get version numbers and compare them. Probably regexes. Also thanks for using it! EDIT: Also checks release types and tags
You could parse: Code: "fileUrl":"http://www.curseforge.com/files/922048" When you upload a new file to your project the fileUrl number get's higher. The most recent is mostly at the end of the curseforge api servermods page
@FisheyLP Interesting idea, but it is still sorted in the manner that the last is latest. So it does not matter But thanks for leaving feedback regardless, and if I miss understood you, correct me
@ArsenArsen Time to necro this thread. Since bukkitdev was updated, do you know if this updater still works? Last time I checked it still worked, but when I was reviewing the stats on other server, it says they they are still using the old versions of my plugin (even though they should have been updated months ago.)
I have checked the API response from my phone as soon as the update happen, seemed right to me.. I'll test it tommorow.
@ArsenArsen I made a bad one too, over here. How do you match the versions? I added a time matcher, which just uses the first and one that uses semantic versioning (and a user supplied regex for cleaning the name up). Also: THAT IS SO FREAKING DIRTY xD Check if the response code is a redirect (there are constants in the HTTPUrlConnection)
