Auto-update only checks for new version on launch #23
Comments
It should check for update on startup and then every hour |
Is this logged someplace or anything I can do to verify? I previously jumped from version 1.2 to 1.5, and just moments before opening this issue I restarted the application to check for updates after the large reddit post today and it then identified 1.6 was available. |
Click "show log" and upload it somewhere |
well this is a bummer. Does GitHub work for you in Internet Explorer / Edge? |
Working in IE, Edge, and Chrome so far. I did notice those log entries, but it's obviously still talking to Github somehow if I'm even getting the new version notifications at all. I do run a caching BIND server on my LAN, so pulling that warning from 05 Sep here is the corresponding log from BIND not showing any problems resolving the name: 05-Sep-2017 15:21:41.604 queries: info: client 10.0.2.7#65015 (github.com): view unrestricted: query: github.com IN A + (10.0.1.1) Other dates seem to indicate the query never made it past my local machine to the BIND server, as both the instances on 07 Sep and 09 Sep have no log entries dated at the time of the warning, but do have entries almost exactly one hour later such as: query.log.5:52694:09-Sep-2017 10:09:39.942 queries: info: client 10.0.2.7#63122 (api.github.com): view unrestricted: query: api.github.com IN A + (10.0.1.1) Is it possible the check gets hung up if it fails once and then never properly notifies if it later succeeds? |
Hmm, indeed, judging my times it is probably because your computer went to sleep or something like that. But this also means that it does automatically check for updates and doesn't throw an exception. In that case I have no idea what could go wrong. I'll check it later on my machine but looks like it should work. |
Hi, I was looking at logs from today and it seems that the program attempts to check for version when my PC wakes from sleep, yet maybe the network stack isn't fully up yet or something, so it fails to resolve the DNS request. After it throws the exception from that it never seems to check again. Replays keep uploading fine though. |
I've noticed the auto-update only checks for new versions on initially launching the application. Not sure if this is intended or not, but I'd think it would be more beneficial to periodically check for new versions in the background. I often have my PC on or sleep for a week or two before a reboot (and subsequently re-launching this app), so new versions take me some time to catch unless I'm manually re-launching the program to check.
