Update Extension

bschneiderhan · June 11, 2021, 10:40pm

I am having trouble updating my extension using the update button from the pyRevit ribbon.

My extension shows correctly in the extension manager and includes the necessary login information. When I run the updater in debug mode this is what I get:

Please let me know if more information is needed from the debugger to correct this issue. I’m not sure if it’s a GitHub issue. The extension is hosted from a private repo on GitHub.

This original issue was due to a missing extension.json file. I needed to add a JSON file to the extensions folder for pyRevit and have a JSON file within my custom extension.

The issue that I’m now running into is pyRevit isn’t able to auto-update my extension anymore. When I run the update button in debug mode, I can find that there is 1 conflict preventing pyRevit from updating my extension, and this points back to line 115 of the updater.py script.

Is there any easy way to identify what the 1 conflict is?

Also, if I run the following phrase, with the necessary credentials, my extension can force update:

pyRevit extensions update %extension% --username="%username%" --password="%password%" --debug

Hi Brandon,

I’m interested to know how you ended up setting up your custom extension. I saw on another thread that you were trying to deploy from a local file rather than a git repository. Did you get that to work out, or did you end up making a git repo?

I also came across the limitations of the CLI “extend” command. I actually used a powershell install script to set up the pyrevit CLI tool, the pyRevit plugin, and its configuration settings, and to copy-paste my custom script from a server location to a standard location on each user’s device, but then I couldn’t find a way to tell pyRevit about my custom extension. I’ll need to manually visit each computer station to make sure it is set up via the Settings Menu in pyRevit.

Did you find a way to automate that last step?
