Community plugin: wrong version when installing and updating

stouf · 2021-12-10T00:55:52.394Z

Steps to reproduce

Open up the desktop version of Obsidian
Enable the community plugins
Search for the plugin Natural Language Date (GitHub)
The available version is 0.6.0 (as of December the 10th of 2021)
Install the plugin
The version installed is 0.5.0
Open the plugin page in Obsidian and manually update it
Obsidian reports that the update succeeded
The version installed is still 0.5.0
Synchronize the vault with an iOS application
Open the vault from iOS
Update the plugin
The version of the plugin is now 0.6.0.

Expected result

I expect the version shown (0.6.0) and the one installed and updated to match.

Actual result

The plugin is stuck on 0.5.0 on the desktop version of Obsidian.

Environment

Operating system: Mac OS 12.0.1 & iOS 15.1

Obsidian version: 0.12.19 (Desktop) and 1.0.5 (iOS)

This is not a bug. 0.6 is for a newer version of obsidian that you don’t have.

Oh, I see now

github.com

argenos/nldates-obsidian/blob/fd06ef1646eb8e29f1887e872248549dc27cb5af/manifest.json#L9

    
      
          {

            "id": "nldates-obsidian",

            "name": "Natural Language Dates",

            "description": "Create date-links based on natural language",

            "version": "0.6.0",

            "author": "Argentina Ortega Sainz",

            "authorUrl": "https://argentinaos.com/",

            "isDesktopOnly": false,

            "minAppVersion": "0.13.0"

          }

There is still something wrong however I think. Have a look at the manifest.json for v0.5.2:

github.com

argenos/nldates-obsidian/blob/5ebfadcdaecc421162cb0980e6b60a48693bfd81/manifest.json#L1-L10

    
      
          {

            "id": "nldates-obsidian",

            "name": "Natural Language Dates",

            "description": "Create date-links based on natural language",

            "version": "0.5.2",

            "author": "Argentina Ortega Sainz",

            "authorUrl": "",

            "isDesktopOnly": false,

            "minAppVersion": "0.11.0"

          }

The minimum version of Obsidian is 0.11.0. I’m currently on 0.12.19, so I should at least get the version 0.5.2 of the plugin and not be stuck at the version 0.5.0 no?

@WhiteNoise Up on this Since I see you moved this to the Bug Graveyard

WhiteNoise · 2021-12-12T16:01:14.530Z

this should be fixed now.

@WhiteNoise Thanks a ton!

For reference, here is what fixed it: Fix for latest available version on 0.12.x (#74) · argenos/nldates-obsidian@e6b9596 · GitHub
So others - me included - can fix similar problems themselves moving forward
