Add-on Updater: patch release candidate for update checking and key error problem
|
Hi all,
A test version of Add-on Updater is now available from: https://www.josephsl.net/files/nvdaaddons/addonUpdater-20180803-dev.nvda-addon
This one should fix a regression where NVDA kept showing progress bar dialog when performing a manual add-on update check. Once this is working, I’ll release 18.08.4 to the public. Cheers, Joseph

Hi, Yes: https://www.josephsl.net/files/nvdaaddons/addonUpdater-20180804-dev.nvda-addon
In addition to the new link, this new patch should resolve continuous progress beep problem when trying to check for updates. If this is working, I’ll release 18.08.4 tonight. Cheers, Joseph

Hi Joseph
That looks as though it has done the trick. I just installed the latest add on the add on one then done a check for updates This time it told me there were none then gave me the option to close it. I can try a few more times later in the day but think i will get the same result saying there is none and the close button.

Hi Joseph, it seems that the computer issue that
made my machine unbootable was nvda trying to do an update while it was trying
to tell me about an add on update. Can add on updates be made
manual?
Quite what actually happened is hard to say, but
nvda did a restart and when it tried to it locked up the keyboard.
So the only recourse was to use the button
but this time instead of waiting a few seconds and booting into either
safe mode or the normal boot it got stuck before this and somebody had to go
into the bios and tell it to reboot manually.
We have since proved this to be the issue twice, so
on my installed copy, which is now reinstalled Add on updater has been removed
and also I had to manually remove it from the folder in app data/nvda as well as
we kept on getting an error as it said it had a pending update but of
course it had not add on updater so it got into a bit of a spin and completely
scrambled nvdas keyboard input for no good reason I can deduce. Using the mouse
my friend got my portable copy running instead then I went in and
manually deleted the pending add on updater update and so far, fingers crossed
no crashes of nvda with dead keyboard.
Whether this is a specific windows 7
issue or a mismatch with another add on is not really clear, but I'll keep the
add on updater in my portable copy and see if that fixes the issue. I
suspect 9 times out of ten, a button shutdown of windows will in fact work but
now and again, not. somebody needs to invent a talking bios!

Hi,

Another user had this exact problem, and based on a Python Console output from this user, it was traced to badly formatted add-on summary for Nuance Vocalizer Expressive English Compact. The exact issue is that this particular summary text is treated as a list, not a true string. Therefore, I'm going to blacklist this add-on from showing up on Add-on Updater settings panel/do not update list next week. Cheers, Joseph

Hi,

It is just one that's affected (there could be more). As for taking care of that in Core later, this can be done by not listing Vocalizer entries in the future add-on updates database, and checking or unchecking Vocalizer add-ons to exclusions list has no effect as current add-on server does not list them. Cheers, Joseph
