I'm toying around with writing a plugin and got a basic framework running and installed.  It shows up in the Settings page and everything.

 

I made some updates to my .plg file, ran 'installplg /path/to/myplugin.plg', but the unRaid Settings page is still serving me the old version.  It outputs various things according to what I wrote, ending with "plugin successfully installed".

 

I've tried:

* Removing the old .plg from /boot/config/plugins

* Incrementing the version number in the .plg

 

None of the updates I made are showing up when I navigate to my plugin's Settings page, and the version is still showing the first version.

 

In various other plugins here, it looks like all they do in the self-update routines is to run installplg again on the new file.

 

It doesn't seem there's any documentation available other than examining the existing plugins that have been written.  What am I missing?

Ah, looks maybe like it just won't overwrite files which already exist, in particular all the stuff under /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/myplugin

I see you've marked it as solved, but here is the block of code I use to allow the plug-in to update

 

<FILE Name="/tmp/couchpotato_v2-cleanup" Run="/bin/bash">
<INLINE>
<![CDATA[
[ -d /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/couchpotato_v2 ] && rm -f -R /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/couchpotato_v2
[ -f /etc/rc.d/rc.couchpotato_v2 ] && rm -f /etc/rc.d/rc.couchpotato_v2
[ -f /boot/config/plugins/couchpotato_v2/plgver.txt ] && rm -f /boot/config/plugins/couchpotato_v2/plgver.txt
rm /tmp/couchpotato_v2-cleanup
]]>
</INLINE>
</FILE>

 

You can most likely ignore the plgver.txt line, I use that in my plug-in itself, the other two are most likely used by yours as well(especially the first line)
