Update Fails because of simple mistake

Open diegoacs0 opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Operating system

Windows 11

YouTube Music Desktop App Version

0.12.16

Bug description

When you try to update by clicking the update button in the app, it doesn`t update or replace the files correctly with the installer because the app is still open. You guys should turn the app off and so then the installer could be executed to replace the files with the new update.

Steps to reproduce

Click the update button and wait to see that it is still open at taskbar.

Relevant log output

No response

It should already close the app once the new app version has been downloaded I mean it's the electron-updater's library doing that, I'll update it soon maybe that's just it Thanks 👍

I noticed the same issue as diegoacs0. I closed the taskbar version as the installer popped up, and it did indeed install correctly. I then had to close out, unpin from the taskbar and reopen a new/2nd icon to the taskbar.

Previously, it would just keep installing the update and prompting for a new update on a reopen.

Hmm I noticed it happening between large changes that included updating the electron updater package, it maybe that the package location has changed in-between

This thing still doesn't update properly, it's extremely annoying, going to be uninstalling.

new update behavior has been implemented since ^0.17. mac silicon users will need to wait until i can notarize the app.
