Unfortunately we don't have such behavior. We show a squirrel icon in the app and let the user restart the app in a convenient time. They can double click the squirrel and we'll ask them whether they want to restart. We could simple pass in the same command line again there, but nothing out of the box.
Oh ok, so my best bet is something like this?
updateService.HandleUpdatesAsync();
if (updateService.IsUpdatedInstalled)
{
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(System.Windows.Application.ResourceAssembly.Location, Environment.GetCommandLineArgs());
System.Windows.Application.Current.Shutdown();
}I would also like a yes/no dialog to pop up with a message like "The application was just updated. Would you like to restart it now?", sorry for my newbish question but which way is easiest to do this?
Nevermind my question about the Yes/No-dialog, I found it here in the docs:
if (await messageService.Show("Are you sure you want to do this?", "Are you sure?", MessageButton.YesNo) == MessageResult.Yes)
{
// Do it!
}
but then use the IProcessService
we show a less intrusive icon in the status bar, then it's up to the user to either restart now or just do it on the next run
IProcessService instead of System.Diagnostics.Process.Start?
Orc.Notifications to show the status bar icon?
we have a separate statusbar that simply watches this service as well and toggle visibility on an icon
this windows is being shown when %appdata%\company\product\started_failed.txt exists
and the 2nd instance showing this window
but I have no details about logging, et
as far as I know, at the end of squirrel installation the app is started
and then in my application I run the "SquirrelHelper.HandleSquirrelAutomatically();" to check if the app was just installed
that shows the window from Orc.Squirrel.Xaml, with a "run" button to run the app
in app config, add this
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="catel">
<section name="logging" type="Catel.Logging.LoggingConfigurationSection, Catel.Core" />
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>
<catel>
<logging>
<listeners>
<!--TODO: the line below must be commented out in stable release-->
<!--<listener type="Catel.Logging.FileLogListener" IgnoreCatelLogging="true" IsDebugEnabled="true" IsInfoEnabled="true" IsWarningEnabled="true" IsErrorEnabled="true" />-->
</listeners>
</logging>
</catel>
then you can easily uncomment the line when you want debug logging in production
nothing strange before this
oh wait a second, it seems like my second app starts before my first app has closed, like you pointed out
it's something we embed in our apps by default, so a long time ago when we wrote this

It seems that the "IsUpdatedInstalled" is never set to true, even if the application was updated.
https://github.com/WildGums/Orc.Squirrel/blob/develop/src/Orc.Squirrel/Orc.Squirrel.Shared/Services/UpdateService.cs#L210
In my observations, the exit code is always 0, even if the application was successfully updated.
but I didn't have a lot of time to keep it up-to-date to be honest, so it's a bit outdated, but works great for us
I tried several times to PR these features but Paul doesn't seem really open to these ideas
the fork can be found at https://github.com/geertvanhorrik/squirrel.windows/tree/pr/semver
Thanks for the fork, I think it will work great for me as well even if it's not up-to-date
Do you think it's an alternative to update the Orc.Squirrel library to use "his" method instead of exit codes?
and since we have to maintain 60+ libs, we have to prioritize, so never bothered looking into this again (since it works fine for us)
