Updating plugins installs same version

Bug Reports Studio Bugs
#1

Hi, started experiencing this issue recently today. When I publish an update for my plugin, the update appears in my Plugin Manager tab and finishes installing. However, the installed version is the old version and not the updated one.

I have plugin unloading scripted and the issue still occurs after restarting studio (old plugin version persists).

A few other plugin developers I know have reported this same issue.

Repro:

  1. Publish a plugin that prints (“hi”)
  2. Publish an update to change it to print(“bye”)
  3. Update from plugin manager tab
  4. Plugin still prints(“hi”)

Can confirm that this has been happening to others as well.

I cannot repro. I am doing the following:

  • open baseplate.
  • add script.
  • edit script to print some custom string.
  • Publish As Plugin. First time create new plugin DBANKS Plugin, subsequent times I update DBANKS Plugin with “Overwrite an existing asset…”
  • Open Plugin Manager.
  • Click “Update” button next to DBANKS Plugin.
  • Plugin re-executes, printing the latest version of things.
