Events 'update-not-available', 'update-available', etc. not firing Render about electron-simple-updater HOT 6 CLOSED

Maybe update-available event is fired before a renderer process is in ready state. It seems that most of update logic is concentrated on a renderer side, so I can recommend you to move initialize code from the main process to a renderer.

I will move my initial code to the render side and try it again.

But shouldn't the events fire every time I call the method checkForUpdates()?

from electron-simple-updater.

Ok, I removed the code from the index.js and created a service on the render side.

If I check the logs I see this messages:

[2019-07-24 19:33:19.139] [info] UpdateApp checking updates...
**[2019-07-24 19:33:19.203] [debug] Update for win32-x64-prod-v1.0.190 is not available** (this log was not made by me, I think it came from your code)

[2019-07-24 19:33:35.142] [info]  
[2019-07-24 19:33:35.143] [info] StartExplorerProcess

But for exemple the event "update-not-available" was not dispatch, a least me function did not run:

private onUpdateNotAvailable()
{
	this.StatusUpdate = "There's no updates available.";
	this.Log("onUpdateNotAvailable");
}

from electron-simple-updater.

Could you try the code to make sure the problem is not in another place?

this.UpdaterElectron = this.ElectronService.remote.require('electron-simple-updater');
this.UpdaterElectron.on('update-not-available', () => console.log('NOT AVAILABLE');

Hello @megahertz .

Oddly it worked... I changed my functions as you suggested and it's working.
I also added all the events on the remote side (index.js).

Then I had to request a manual update, because the code was executed out of Angular context and the changes were not detected.

Admin page on the render side

public Init()
{
        this.Log("this.UpdaterElectron.getFeedURL(): ", this.UpdaterElectron.getFeedURL());

	this.UpdaterElectron.on('update-not-available', () => 
	{
		this.SetStatus("Não existem novas versões.", false);

		this.Log("onUpdateNotAvailable message: ", this.StatusUpdate);
	});

	this.UpdaterElectron.on('update-available', (meta) => 
	{
		this.metaDataUpdate = meta;
	        this.SetStatus("Nova versão " + this.metaDataUpdate.version, false);
		this.Log("onUpdateAvailable message: ", this.StatusUpdate);
        });
}

public SetStatus(message:string, waitingResponse:boolean)
{
	this.IsCheckingUpdates = waitingResponse;
	this.StatusUpdate = message;

	**this.ChangeDetectorRef.detectChanges();**
}

Thank you for your time and support.

Instead, you can just bind you methods like

this.UpdaterElectron.on('update-available', this.onUpdateAvailable.bind(this));

(but in this case off methods will not work if you'll uncomment it)
or bind methods in constructor, or use such as thing as https://github.com/andreypopp/autobind-decorator
