Edit 2: Version 1.0.0.3 including View History of Changes function

post-42917-0-76183500-1403819115_thumb.j
Edit 1: Amended source code on guinness advise (replacement of obsolete _Iif() )
 
Example of Auto Updating of a running script using Internet Web download.
Works as well for compiled as for uncompiled scripts.
Download with file size and checksum verification
 UpdateTest_1.0.1.3.au3 this is version 1.0.1.2 for the update example
Helper to setup file data (version, date, filesize and CRC) in AppsUpdates.txt
AppsUpdates_Calculator.au3

Credits:

MsgBoxEx() used in in the example written by Ward

_CRC32() also by Ward (just a coincidence)

version 1.0.0.2:

previous version without history of changes


UpdateTest.au3 ver 1.0.0.2 (previous downloads: 10)
[UpdateTest.au3]
version=1.0.1.1
date=2014/06/17 17:29
Filesize=17109
CRC=98756666
download=http://users.telenet.be/GreenCan/AutoIt/Updates/UpdateTest_1.0.1.1.au3

[UpdateTest.exe]
version=1.0.1.1
date=2014/06/17 17:56
Filesize=472576
CRC=0D9477D5
download=http://users.telenet.be/GreenCan/AutoIt/Updates/UpdateTest_1.0.1.1.exe

The web directory has 3 files:


Before you test the script, compile it first with AutoIt3Wrapper, to get the version number in the executable.
You can test it then with both compiled and uncompiled versions.
 
The script example will check the application update version in file AppsUpdates.txt on the update website. If required, it will propose the upgrade. You can then disregard it or accept the update.

The new 'View Changes' button will download and display the change information text.
 
If updating, the initial script will be renamed with it's version number (as safety backup), and the new updated will be renamed to the initial script file name, in order not to break shortcuts.
There is no code to postpone the update proposal by a number of days, this has to be programmed separately.
 
Web data file AppsUpdates.txt content (INI file)

now includes a new line containing the url to history file:

changes=...

[UpdateTest.au3]
version=1.0.1.3

The web directory has 3 files:

  • AppsUpdates.txt (the updater data file)
  • UpdateTest_1.0.1.1.exe
  • UpdateTest_1.0.1.1.au3

Hi Wayfarer,

OK, What is the problem with this?

  • MsgBox in the function: how do you advise the user if there is a newer version available?  MsgBox in case of errors can be deleted but then you have to cover the message at the function exit.
  • _Iff() is a standard function of AutoIt, I like it very much because it permits to reduce the number of lines in a code.
  • Consolewrite is there to give some explanation in the function, they are meant to be deleted when you use it in real life.
  • bat file: well, if there is another simple way to do it, please let me know, I am really interested... (with embedded AutoIt script, it won't work, with a compiled side program, it will, but then it is not embedded anymore)
  • ini virtual, OK, I could have saved the file, use regular IniRead() and delete the file afterwards. but maybe this is a bit more complex...
  • Exit?  Yes, I use it in line 193 :)
  • You forgot the CRC, the InetGet() with progress bar and also the way that I get the version number in the non-compiled example ;)

I appreciate however that you like the example.

No, seriously, it looks complex, but by the end, the version update checker is performed through a single call to CheckUpdate() and it works.

_Iif() was removed from the language ages ago.

As with regards to the MsgBox() in a function, is this meant to be a UDF? If so then you should use SetError() and document what each @error message corresponds to, so the developer can decide on how to output that to the end user. You will notice that we don't use MsgBox() in the UDFs and for good reason too.

Hi guinness,

It is not yet removed from Misc.au3 (I guess to allow AutoIt members to have time to remove the code before the next release),  I admit it is now undocumented in the latest AutoIt release (not available anymore in the helpfile)

But in the previous v3.3.8.1 release (still used by a lot of people), it was still available in Helpfile.

I must say that I don't quite understand why it was removed.

==> Scripts should be updated to use ternary operators instead.

So if I adhere to the recommendation, I should use this standard practice syntax:

CheckUpdate("UpdateTest" & (@Compiled ? ".exe" : ".au3"), $sVersion, "http://users.telenet.be/GreenCan/AutoIt/Updates/AppsUpdates.txt")

instead of

;CheckUpdate("UpdateTest" & _Iif(@Compiled, ".exe", ".au3"), $sVersion, "http://users.telenet.be/GreenCan/AutoIt/Updates/AppsUpdates.txt")

I don't think that it makes the code more understandable...

I removed it in v3.3.12.0 (the latest), so as far as I'm concerned it's gone. _Iif() was there because ternary wasn't in previous versions of AutoIt, though is used in most programming langauges. As to the "issue" of readability, all you have to do is replace the two commas with ? : and remove the function name. If people have trouble understanding ternary, then I would avoid most programming languages.

Don't over-estimate occasional programmers (I am member of this category ;)).

Not every AutoIt member has experience with C++

I will change my code accordingly...

I didn't even notice the new version, I am still on v3.3.10.2. But although I am a daily user of AutoIt, my visits to the forum are not that regular... I am going to have a hard time again to get this upgrade done by my outsourcing partner (I have no admin rights on my business laptop...)

 

Did you also see my edit about MsgBox()?

Yes, now I did, thanks.

The users who downloaded the first version can simply start the script again, and update to the latest version will be done automatically.

The problem I see with this is that there are UDFs out there, that people use, that use _Iif().  I found myself going through other people's code to replace the function.  Very tedious until I realized that all I had to do was include a simple compatability funciton.

Func _Iif($a, $b, $c)
    Return ($a ? $b : $c)
EndFunc

I personally think something as simple as that should have been maintained for backward compatability, but then again, the solution is also simple enough.

That pretty much sums it up. It's tedious to have a function such as that in the UDFs. As with regards to "backwards compatibility", AutoIt is a language that is constantly growing, so I pose the question of which AutoIt version should the UDFs support? How far back do you want to go? 3, 4, 7 years? Thankfully the UDFs that ship with each AutoIt setup work with that particular version, so if you miss _Iif() stick with the version that it was last seen in.

If you had concerns about this before then you should have spoken up during the beta stage!

how to fix ?

 

Hi CVSz,

I am trying to understand what your problem is.

I assume you have tried to create your own script as my example does not have 475 lines?

First question, does the original example function correctly on your system?

@error 4, if you look into the function, you get the error if the version key is not found in the updater file (then an empty string "" is returned)

    $sNewVersion = IniMemoryRead($sINI_Data, $sFileToUpdate, "version", "")

The structure of the updater file (AppsUpdates.txt) for

      CheckUpdate("Mytest.au3", "1.0.0.0", "http:/mywebsite/Mytest.ini",1)

looks like this:

structure of "http:/mywebsite/Mytest.in for a new revision:

[Mytest.au3]                    ==> First parameter of CheckUpdate(), name of section

version=1.0.0.1               ==> This is the line that IniMemoryRead() does not find in your script. The version number set here corresponds to the line #AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Fileversion=1.0.0.1 in your own updated script

date=2014/06/25 15:30  ==> any date in fact, just indicative

Filesize=xxxxxx                ==> File size in bytes returned by  AppsUpdates_Calculator.au3

CRC=xxxxxxxxx               ==> CRC calculation File size in bytes returned by  AppsUpdates_Calculator.au3

download=http://users.telenet.be/GreenCan/AutoIt/Updates/UpdateTest_1.0.1.1.au3 ==> url of the update script to download

Let me know if you got the issue fixed.
