GUI: Warn user if backend version is different #1032

Closed paninaro closed 1 year ago

paninaro commented 2 years ago

We can use the get_version daemon command to determine if the backend version is different from the GUI version. If there's a mismatch, we should warn that the GUI may not behave properly. Or we could just not support it and force the app to quit.

Let's see if we can add a check for dev mode: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development' to suppress the alert if it would normally display.

For any builds produced by CI, it's expected that installing/upgrading will keep the backend version and frontend version in lockstep. If installing from source, using our instructions to run install.sh and install-gui.sh should also keep the versions in sync. The GUI version comes from chia-blockchain-gui/packages/gui/package.json in the version field.
