Verify that autoupdate works
What happened (or feature request):
Autoupdate doesn't appear to be working.
What you expected to happen:
App updates are autodetected.
Ideally, via one of these:
-
[ ] About DDEV UI gives the user feedback and instruction to update

-
[ ] Or, on load during checks for DDEV Local and Docker, we also detect an old version of DDEV UI and prompt the user to update
How to reproduce this:
- Remove any existing versions of DDEV UI app from machine
- Download alpha from release page: https://github.com/drud/ddev-ui/releases/tag/v0.4.1-alpha
- Open and confirm version
- Close window, quit app.
- Reopen and check version
===========================
- [x] Verify that the app auto-updates from version 0.4.0 to 0.4.1-alpha
So I just cut the internal alpha release - https://github.com/drud/ddev-ui/releases/tag/v0.4.0-alpha.0 and I'm not getting prompted to update :(
I'm going to dive a little deeper on this. We might need to use electron-updater. I'm going to spend under an hour seeing if I can get this dialed in as I'm pushing other updates. Would be very nice to have in place prior to release.
I have verified that this will work in insolation once the repo is public. PR #121
@alkymst : I am reopening this issue. I will put the testing steps I am using in the header.
