Support Case: https://app.camunda.com/jira/browse/SUPPORT-5274
Blocked on Windows by https://github.com/camunda/camunda-modeler/issues/890.
I've added a few questions that we need to consider before implementing automatic updates.
I've also added an alternative solution, update notifications that would support https://github.com/camunda/camunda-modeler/issues/1353 equally well with less hazzle as far as I see.
Some Info I found while slacking on the topic:
As automatic updates should work for Mac OOTB (and I don't have the hardware to test it), I investigated alternatives for linux and windows. As the manual update process boils down to extracting the files on top of the old ones, we can create our own updater with the following mechanism:
I was able to test this on linux and it works on my setup. We still need to add normal update support for mac and a customized copy script for windows for it to work cross-platform
Interesting slack topic. Talk in the team call about it, I'm interested to find out more.
Build upon the electron builder auto-update capability to provide automatic updates / update notifications for the App.
