Plugin version with remote source (GitHub)

Questions
#1

Hi,

I’ve created a plugin on GitHub and installed it as instructed in the docs:

php artisan plugin:install Acme.Blog --from=git@github.com:acme/blog-plugin.git

The plugin now shows up in the backend under System Updates, but the shown plugin version remains fixed to the one that was installed.

When the plugin is updated on GitHub, the list of plugins does not detect the new version.

When I do php artisan october:update though, the system does update the plugin to the most recent version.

Is there any way to get this working or is it required to pass trough the October Marketplace?

Thanks.

@chocolata,

I’m wondering if it could be a tagging issue ? Publishing Packages - October CMS - 4.x

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your reply.
I did try to tag the repo and change the version file as mentioned in the link you provided, but that didn’t seem to affect it.

Maybe I did something wrong. The repo in question is here:

Could you maybe have a look if you see anything wrong there?

Thanks.

Hi @chocolata,

Great job on the plugin—I can see how useful it is.

I noticed you released a new tag (1.0.6) a couple of hours ago. Did that fix the issue?

Thanks a lot for the nice compliment! I hope to be expanding the plugin so there is more granular control on what’s being deleted.

I’ve tried updating the version manually via the repo on Github itself, but unfortunately it did not fix the issue, no… I did not publish the github repo on the October CMS marketplace yet, so I’m unsure if that might have anything to do with it.

Hi @chocolata,

Unfortunately, I don’t have the time to dig deeper into this right now. I suggest adding an issue in the GitHub repository if it’s not resolved so it can be tracked.
