At a first glance the changes make sense. Will need to try a manual test with some real plugins, ideally a published plugin with multiple major versions, and then review the code in more detail @tom-seqera do you feel good about this approach? I thought you said you had some concerns about the local plugin provider but now I don't remember |
It's been a little while, but I think I found that some of the p4fj code (or maybe our wrapper code around it?) seems to generally assume that plugin update versions for a given plugin ID are only defined in a single repository and might not work properly if you tried to enable both the local cache and remote index at the same time. It doesn't impact these specific changes because the code selects either the local cache or the remote index depending on the offline flag, but will likely be something we need to handle if/when we harmonise plugin loading or improve support for multiple plugin sources. |
Closes #4329
This makes two changes:
UpdateRepository, allowing the same SemVer version constraint to be applied offline as well.The version range constraints are handled by the underlying SemVer library: https://github.com/zafarkhaja/jsemver?tab=readme-ov-file#range-expressions. Perhaps most usefully are tilde ranges (
~), which allow pinning of the major or minor part of the version while automatically using any newer patch version. For example:~1.2is equivalent to>=1.2.0 && <1.3.0,~1.2.1is equivalent to>=1.2.1 && <1.3.0,~1is equivalent to>=1.0.0 && <2.0.0In offline mode, it will look for the latest already downloaded plugin version which matches the constraint.
