I recently started using packages to keep my scripts synchronized.
But found that about 80% of the time, when I publish a change to a script, the package links fail to auto-update. Unfortunately, I can’t publish my place until all packages are up to date. So I either have to delete all out-of-date package links, or save my place to the disk.
Here is an image of a typical package I would like to update:
After publishing some changes, the package links stay gray, never turning blue. After a few seconds, I get this error in the console:
Then this shows up at the bottom:
And finally, when I try to publish, I get this message:
This happens so frequently that packages are more of a hassle than a help.
Occasionally, the only package that fails to auto-update is the one that I published the changes from.
I would recommend updating packages in the local (offline) studio session immediately without having to go through the Internet first. (That would also make offline package updating feasible.)
Some relevant specs:
- Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)
- Studio 0.429.2.404265 (64-bit)
- My Internet download speed is just fine
