Backup old plugin before removing it #647

Open themenow opened 7 years ago

themenow commented 7 years ago

I was working hard on several local sites, and I updated my plugin in one of them today on seeing TGMPA update notification, so it removed old plugin and install the new version from which turned out is the development site. The old plugin is removed along with "node_modules/", "gruntfile.js" and "packages.json" inside, I have the latter two file in my SVN repository so they are not problem, but I have to reinstall all grunt packages now, there isn't a trash that you can restore from.

Hope there is a backup in future release.

TGMPA uses the build WP mechanism to upgrade plugins. I suggest you open an issue in WordPress Trac requesting this. All the same, it sounds like the plugin you upgraded was distributed incorrectly, so contacting the plugin owner is advisable as well.

Ok, I see. It's my plugin btw.
