Package does not update via Nuget, have to install new each time

Open codereflection opened this issue 13 years ago • 5 comments

When an update is released for Giles, the package manager does not show that an update is available. If you install the new version, the old version of Giles is left in the packages folder.

Also, with multiple versions of Giles in the packages folder, the Powershell launch scripts will not always launch the newest version. Actually, the script may never launch the newer version, it all depends on how the directories are returned to the script from the file system, which may or may not be in order.

install using -x and don't let those pesky folder names get you down! or use Chewie

True, but I need to find a solution that works for everyone. Most people will be using the package manager from Visual Studio, and that's the only way that the launch scripts get installed out to the root of the solution.

i wonder if Giles might be better suited for a choclatey distribution and not so much nuget ?? (still uses nuget... just a thought)

That's also planned, see GH-17.

I also found that the powershell giles launch scripts don't get restored to the solution root folder when using Nuget Package Restore. The package contents get restored just fine just not the giles-x86.ps1 and giles.ps1 files.
