[RELEASE] Hubitat Package Manager (HPM) -- HubitatCommunity

[csteele]

A 1.8.8 version has been pushed to HubitatCommunity, handles some missing Repos.

I've created a Video that shows the step by step on an Empty hub. I wiped one of my hubs and show the Installation of Hubitat Package Manager and then using it for the first and second time.

Original topic:

[BETA] Hubitat Package Manager

At this moment, I don't think there should be a RUSH to migrate. Dominic said last year he wasn't planning on removing or "breaking" anything. As the days go by, and together we conclude he really has left, I'll do a transition release to move the Master Manifest and so on, over to "my" fork. I think for most, that will be the time to migrate. I've been using my version since July of last year. So I'll have to think a bit remember the nuances but from memory, I just copied it over... no delete,…

Thx

[csteele]

I believe you but this is what I got when I did the upgrade from Dominic's 1.8.2 to 1.8.3:

I'm going to delete, go back to DMeglio 1.8.2 and try again...

[starcom]

It proceeds w update, one more error and several manifest errors

[csteele]

Those are in fact, manifest errors that the app owners should fix. The updated Master Manifest on HubitatCommunity has a corrected entry for one that I found and fixed. The other will need to be corrected by the owner.

I was not able to reproduce the error. Again, no disbelief, just recognizing I must be clicking differently

An obvious 2nd option to upgrading is just Repair. That copies the same (1.8.3) HPM from either repo.

[starcom]

Repair seems to be clean
Thanks

[aaiyar]

FWIW, I got the same error on both my hubs as @starcom.

However, the update was applied. Also, to be complete in the information I've provided, I updated from your version 1.8.2A to 1.8.3.

[csteele]

Ah... 1.8.3.A might be the culprit, I did that upgrade test last night and didn't see that error. I can try it again though

If you're feeling unsure, give Repair a shot, just to get back to: sure.

Just retested and got no error but the repos aren't in the same states when I do a delete-reinstall. Your copy is already "running" with an old list of Manifests. When I delete and reinstall, there are no manifests and so it picks up the 1.8.3 set. So.. no error.

I think the One/Two Punch of an Upgrade and/or a Repair will cover most situations.

[jimhim]

Updated, seemed to go fine.
Thanks

@aaiyar

FWIW, I got the same error on both my hubs as @starcom.

Same here, two hubs and both had the error. As far as I could determine I was upgrading from 1.8.2, and not 1.8.2A.

[672southmain]

Simply FYI I got a different error when updating. My production hub is a C-7, and it updated fine. My C-5 dev hub, when an update was attempted, hung on Installing updates. Doing a repair of HPM went fine and fixed things on the C-5:

Both running 2.3.1.142, both started the update with HPM 1.8.2 from Dominick Meglio’s repository, both now at 1.8.3.

[awagsii]

I got the same error as starcom did a repair and all seems fine. C-5 hub coming from 1.82.

[csteele]

There's a pattern, but most errors have different line numbers. I have to think it's HPM updating itself while it's running... (method performUpdates) is common to all the messages.

I think the pattern of doing a Repair after is probably best.

[lcw731]

Updated for me with out any errors at all on both hubs.

[wiegout]

C7 hub here and it failed (hung forever). But a repair seemed to set things right. Of note I am a Beta tester currently running: 2.3.2.118. I only share that for troubleshooting purposes not to disclose any Beta details...

[johnwill1]

Same. C7. HPM showed there was an update (for HPM), I've ran it and it's just stuck on the below screen for 10 minutes now:

[thebearmay]

If you see the

It won’t finish, just go to repair at that point.

[kkossev]

My hub update also froze, but seems like the update was completed and now runung 1.8.3.

Great work with transferring the HPM to HubitatCommunity repository @csteele , thank you very much!

[johnwill1]

Yeah I've done that - all up and running again now - thanks.
