[BUG] - "Error Mod does not exist" when installing "new" mod #472

Closed Vl4dimyr closed 3 years ago

Vl4dimyr commented 3 years ago

The bug When trying to install a mod that was just uploaded to thunderstore.io, using the "Install with Mod Manager" button, r2modman shows an error message:

Error
Mod does not exist

Unable to resolve <MOD_NAME> to a suitable Thunderstore mod

Suggestion
Relaunch the manager to update the mod list

The suggestion does not help since r2modman does not update its mod list from thunderstore.io immediately.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create/upload a new mod on thunderstore.io
  2. Click on the 'Install with Mod Manager' button on the mod page
  3. (optional) confirm opening r2modman
  4. See error

Expected behavior Even though the mod is not in r2modman's mod list the very fact that we try to install it via ror2mm://v1/install/thunderstore.io/... should allow r2modman to try to pull the mod and install it.

Note Yes this is an edge case, and it's not of high priority, I know but still I wanted to report it.

Yeah it’s not really a manager issue because the API has a timed cache on it, so there’s nothing I can really do about it
