| Jan 2, 2022 at 6:48 | comment | added | Nova Leary | Alrighty, I'm going to just have it where it simply warns the user the script is out of date! | |
| Jan 2, 2022 at 4:48 | comment | added | cas | This is better, but even this will cause problems, especially with automation and wrapper scripts - e.g. running it from cron or as part of a script. Just printing a warning message is enough. More than enough, really. If you think you must ask annoying questions, at least add a "--do-not-ask-annoying-questions" option. | |
| Jan 2, 2022 at 3:12 | comment | added | Nova Leary | I won't have it where it just automatically updates right off the bat, but it will check for any and ask the user if they would like to update (and possibly show a summary of changes), and if they wish to not update, then it won't update and will continue on running the rest of the script | |
| Jan 2, 2022 at 1:45 | comment | added | cas | Don't do this. It will really annoy anyone who doesn't want to update the script right now, or who depends on the behaviour (including bugs) of previous versions of the script, or who doesn't want the risk of your new version being buggy or your updater being buggy, or who have specific testing and deployment procedures for new code. Forced upgrades are evil, even if you think you know best...even if you actually do know best. | |
