PR Downloader Fails on windows 8.1

[Forboding Angel]

Refuses to get the latest tagged version.

For example, in evo the latest version is 8.55, but on win 8.1 pr downloader will only grab 8.54

I have tried everything I can think of, including deleting the pool, but no dice. It would probably work to delete pool, packages, and rapid folders. I told him that if he wanted to #yolo he could do that.

But yes, can we have fixed pr-downloader for windows 8.1 please?

Edit: yes deleting those folders worked. Sigh, fix this please, this is beyond frustrating.

There is a bug tracker: https://github.com/spring/pr-downloader/issues

Easier to c&p my convo than explain it again...

Forboding Angel: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B25BbZ ... sp=sharing
Forboding Angel: Download that file, put it in this folder: C:\Users\M0rgan\Documents\My Games\Spring\weblobby\engine\96.0\
Forboding Angel: And make a shortcut to it on your desktop
Forboding Angel: it should fix any silliness
Forboding Angel: hacky workaround, but it should work
Señor Salsa Chip: k
Señor Salsa Chip: it worked
Forboding Angel: Ugh
Forboding Angel: ok I know what the problem is now
Forboding Angel: thanks
Señor Salsa Chip: what was it
Forboding Angel: Well ok every time the program is run
Forboding Angel: it is supposed to grab the list of new packages from the server
Forboding Angel: for some reason on win 8.1 it isn't doing that
Forboding Angel: so it uses the package list it already has
Forboding Angel: so it thinks that whatever you already have is the latest
Forboding Angel: What I am doing in that file I just gave you is
Señor Salsa Chip: ok
Forboding Angel: I'm checking to see if that folder that holds the packages exists
Forboding Angel: and if it does, I'm deleting it, which forces the program to download the package list again
Forboding Angel: hacky workaround
Forboding Angel: but it works

1. use the bugtracker next time please
2. please provide the full output of pr-downloader

[Forboding Angel]

What it does if you tell it to update evo:stable for example, is that it just shows that it's "Downloading" the version you already have, then shows 100% for the version you already have and that's it.

It never actually updates the package lists. Deleting the rapid folder has the effect of making it re-download the package lists and work properly.

It seems to work properly on windows 10.

2. please provide the full output of pr-downloader

- its not clear which version you are using
- this problem doesn't happen with springlobby (afaik)

maybe output already shows the problem.

[Forboding Angel]

Unless I'm mistaken, weblobby always downloads the latest available when it starts up.

I have a laptop that I never use (cause I use my chromebook because chromebooks are the shit and fast as fuck) that runs windows 8. I've spent the last 8 hours or so updating it trying to get it on 8.1. From what I can tell, it only doesn't work on 8.1, as far as I know, 8 works just fine.

[abma]

you should fill a bug report to weblobby...

[Forboding Angel]

No, weblobby is not the issue, it's frigging pr downloader, It fails when run specifically from command line as well. I'm smart enough to suspect weblobby as being the culprit -_-

Back when i made this thread I had been able to duplicate it thanks to a person having the trouble being kind enough to allow me to use teamviewer with his compy.

[abma]

the third time:
2. please provide the full output of pr-downloader

you are wasting our time

[Forboding Angel]

As it happens, I was correct in what is going on. This is the default permissions for the rapid folder inside my docs my games spring:



It took me two days to get 8.1 on pile of shit. I explained thoroughly what has been happening.

It only happens on certain systems, and as I suspect, it usually only happens on systems that are 8.1 and have never had those folders created in them. I can't replicate it on a fresh install of windows 10, and windows 8 seems to work fine. It is only 8.1 where I keep seeing recurrence for new users.

You keep asking for output for an issue I have had 0 ability to replicate. One would think that for the sake of adequate testing, you would be testing in at least the latest version of windows via a vm. I don't write software, so I don't have a 8.1 vm, and have zero use for one.

This is not an isolated incident, it is a common occurrence.

Ok one part is a windows issue. Because windows sucks giant fucking dick.

Encapsulating the game name and version in " " resolves the issue, so essentially weblobby is potentially sending the command incorrectly. Either that OR pr-downloader is derping when it receives the command.

Ok that takes care of one little piggy, but why are versions.gz failing to update sometimes? Permissions on folder restricting files from being overwritten on 8.1?

[abma]

1. you are using an old version of pr-downloader, it uses plasma which got broken to zk-server changes. In newer version this is disabled. try with the pr-downloader from spring 99.0 please or a 99.0.1 development version.

2. FYI: the log from weblobby shows without quotes but seems to use quotes, you have to add quotes when running from command line when the name contains spaces. (thats correct)

3. pr-downloader sets file times for the files it downloads. whats the file creation and modified time of C:\Users\forbo_000\Documents\My Games\Spring\rapid\evo.repo.springrts.com\versions.gz ?
