Web updater fails telling there's no support

[leonardodna]

Hello! I'm trying to use the "web updater" feature, but every time I try to make it work I got this error:

Code: Select all

Either this project does not support updating, or the update status file was deleted.

I thought it could be a problem on my current VN so I started a new project and followed those steps:

- Added the current link on navigation screen:

Code: Select all

textbutton _("Check updates") action updater.Update('http://downloads.lewdbit.studio/test-updater/updates.json', force=True)

- Added the build config on options.rpy:

Code: Select all

build.include_update = True

- Made a 1.0 build.

- Edited the start label with new text

- Bumped version to 2.0

- Made a 2.0 build

And the error still persists. Am I missing something in this process? You guys can check the update files and 1.0 and 2.0 builds here:

Your host probably can't support this feature. Try using a server or host that supports more than DDL.

(is this your website or just somewhere that is hosting your files?)

It's my website and I can use zsync without problems, at least on the command line:

Code: Select all

$ zsync http://downloads.lewdbit.studio/test-updater/test-updater-2.0-mac.zsync

Macs do not support the updater. Blame Apple, but thanks to signing requirments the mac apps are now read only.

Oh, that's solves the mystery, I'm testing it on my mac :/

Thanks Tom!
