The routes of hazel doesn't seem to work with private repo

DOESN'T WORK

const server = "https://clovis-desktop-hazel-upd.aarbel.now.sh"
const updaterFeedURL = `${server}/update/${process.platform}/${app.getVersion()}`
…
autoUpdater.setFeedURL(updaterFeedURL);

Error:
Unhandled rejection Error: Cannot find channel "latest-mac.yml" update info: HttpError: 404

Please double check that your authentication token is correct. Due to security reasons actual status maybe not reported, but 404.\n

WORKS

const updaterFeedURL = {
    provider: 'github',
    owner: 'my-team',
    repo: 'my-repo',
    token: 'my-github-token',
}

autoUpdater.setFeedURL(updaterFeedURL);

I've got this error in the Now project's logs:

(node:1) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: GitHub API responded with 404 for url https://api.github.com/repos/MY_TEAM/MY_ELECTRON_REPO/releases?per_page=100

Hazel doesn't find (or doesn't have access to) the private team's repository. Do you know a way to make it work ? Thanks a lot !

I've already tried some of the solutions here on GitHub but just couldn't get it to work.
When I open the url: https://forget-me-not-update-server.vercel.app/update/win32/1.0.0/RELEASES it doesn't do anything at all and my app with electron autoupdater says that the file is corrupted/ doesn't exist because as mentioned before it's not downloadable.
The repository is private, hazel is hosted on Vercel (Now) and all variables are set.

I am trying to run a hazel server on Now to autoupdate an Electron app, and I am getting a missing_configuration_properties of Neither ACCOUNT, nor REPOSITORY are defined, which makes no sense because that is exactly what I am specifying in my CLI command

now -e ACCOUNT="dbklabs" -e REPOSITORY="macflix" -e TOKEN="<my token>" -e URL=NOW_URL

On Friday, this was working just fine fyi...

Does hazel on work on public repos? Supporting private repos would required a GitHub token, which apparently is not currently required or used by hazel.

UserAgent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3218.0 Safari/537.36

gives No download available for your platform!

Great stuff! Any plans for adding authentication?

What's up with the token requirement? It's not clear at all... and it exits out of the deployment if you don't provide one.

It would be great to have 32/x64 platform distinction.
For exemple:
deb32, AppImage32,rpm32 and keep current platform without any suffix for 64 bits?

As of now, when a release have 2 different packages for the same platform (32 bits and 64 bits), Hazel redirect to last indexed package.

Linux support would be awesome to have, since updating electron apps in Linux is not fun, especially if you have to work in a low connectivity area.

Hello,

Do you have support for other Git vendors like GitLab & Gitea?

If no, do you have any plans?

If yes, Can I see some examples on using it.

Thanks.

Hello, every time i close the hazel server it remains alive in the background even if it prompt "gracefully exiting", how can i achieve a complete shutdown of the app ?

download/win32

@leo Thanks again hazel teams for your work !

I saw that now-desktop releases are managed like that:

My electron-builder output looks like that:

Could you tell us more about the necessity of each file in the release and put that in hazel doc ?

latest-mac.yml // Why this file ?
Now-4.0.19-mac.zip // Why a zip and not only .dmg ?
Now-4.0.19.dmg // What is downloaded on each update ? The dmg of Source code.zip ? 
Now-4.0.19.dmg.blockmap // Electron-builder doesn't generate this file for me, what's its role ? 
now-desktop-4.0.19-full.nupkg // What's this file for ? Electron-builder doesn't seem to generate it in my dist folder
now-desktop-Setup-4.0.19.exe // Ok looks like Windows installer, but same question: on each update is that all the .exe downloaded or only the Source Code.zip ?
RELEASES // That's this file is for ? 
Source code.zip // Ok the source code
Source code.tar.gz // Ok differently compressed source code

Thanks a lot for your help ! 👐

/update/:platform/:version/RELEASES

I deployed the latest version using:

now -e NODE_ENV="production" -e ACCOUNT="wulkano" -e REPOSITORY="kap" -e PORT="80" -e PRE="1" zeit/hazel

And to my surprise the result of going to https://kap-beta-updates.now.sh/update/macos/2.0.0-beta.0 was:

{"name":"v2.0.0-beta.1","notes":"Test","pub_date":"2017-10-31T14:41:53Z","url":"https://api.github.com/repos/wulkano/kap/releases/assets/5210625"}

Notice how the url links to the GitHub asset response and not the binary itself.

With 1.2.2 it works correctly:

{"name":"v2.0.0-beta.1","notes":"Test","pub_date":"2017-10-31T14:41:53Z","url":"https://github.com/wulkano/kap/releases/download/v2.0.0-beta.1/Kap.Beta-2.0.0-beta.1-mac.zip"}

So 1.2.2 works correctly, but 1.3.0 does not, so something must have broken between those versions.

Seems like browser_download_url is not suitable for downloading RELEASES from private repo via API. This endpoint ignores Authorization header and always returns 404 (maybe it needs cookie authorization). I found info about GET /repos/:owner/:repo/releases/assets/:asset_id in Github docs. This endpoint designed for download asset via API and works fine with authorization token and header Accept: application/octet-stream.

I'm using Vercel Hazel for updates and it keeps timing out.

Since I am using Vercel, I can't find the exact line of why this is happening to debug this?

Anyone else having this issue?

Thanks.

Not sure if the documenation is not accurate enough or i am doing something wrong, but i cannot get the setup to run properly.
This is my command:
now -e TOKEN=@github-token -e ACCOUNT="MyAccount" -e REPOSITORY="MyRespository" -e PORT="80" zeit/hazel

This is the message i get immediatly and i need to supply the password for my ssh file:

Didn't find directory. Searching on GitHub...

And this is the error i am getting after ~30 seconds:

Error! Unexpected error. Please try again later. (An unexpected internal error occurred)

What am i doing wrong?

Needed for the new hyper release channel!

I want to put a direct download of the lasted version of my electron app on my website (both for mac and windows).

What should be the right url to the hazel update server to directly download .dmg and .exe but not .zip ?

Thanks for your help !

Lighweight update server for Electron apps
should be
Lightweight update server for Electron apps

I didn't RTFM for hazel and just jumped in with now -e NODE_ENV="production" zeit/hazel. I was stopped in my tracks when ask to enter a value for ACCOUNT. Referring to the README I can see that this refers to "Your username or organisation name on GitHub", but if the var had a more descriptive name, I wouldn't have had to look. I would suggest something like GITHUB_USERNAME_OR_ORG.

It appears that hazel is making unauthenticated requests to the GitHub API.. is that correct?

If so, a running instance will quickly go over its unauthenticated request limit.

Also if there's no prerelease, we maybe should deliver a stable release.

Not sure, but maybe all of this should be an environment flag (or maybe one for disabling it).

Would be nice to have some tests to prevent future regressions.

Example: https://github.com/sindresorhus/gh-latest-repos/blob/master/test.js

Updating on MacOS works fine, but on Windows I get the error "Remote release File is empty or corrupted." I'm pretty sure that the error is because of not being able to access /update/win32/:version/RELEASES. When I do this the page just doesn't load and redirect to the previous url I was at.

now -V 1 zeit/hazel

Hello,

For public repositories, is Hazel caching the releases list :
for exemple this reponse https://api.github.com/repos/electron/electron/releases

Or does it cache the assets:
for example : https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/download/v8.2.5/chromedriver-v8.2.5-darwin-x64.zip

Thanks

Instead of polling on a given interval, it might be more efficient to use webhooks instead so when a release is published, it would send a request to a endpoint which will update it's cache.

https://github.com/:user/:repo/settings/hooks/new

The "Now" Cli is deprecated and there is no way to use hazel. If there is an alternative, consider updating the readme

When accessing / route it downloads a .dms file instead of an overview page showing the cached repository with the different available platforms and file sizes.

Hyper.is example

After deploying hazel, I get the following error:

My project is on a private repository on github. I am using the following command:

now -e ACCOUNT="ACCOUNT_NAME" -e REPOSITORY="REPO_NAME" -e TOKEN="GITHUB_TOKEN" -e URL="https://api.github.com/repos/ACCOUNT_NAME/REPO_NAME/releases?access_token=GITHUB_TOKEN"

Just a simple question :
Do Electron download the release from Github or from the release server ?
Don't want to mess up my downloads counts.

The /download route is useful for providing a direct link to the latest release, but currently, it returns the ZIP file, which is only meant for updates, and not the DMG file, which is meant for end-users.

I want to use hazel with express.js. But when I use it with express.js I do not know how to pass the necessary variables (eg repository or username). Can you tell me what to do?

Currently the usage docs gives you the code needed to add the auto-updater to an app.
But in dev environment, it of course causes an error.
As such, why not have either a disclaimer or update the docs to include something like:

if (process.env.ELECTRON_DEV) {
  autoUpdater.setFeedURL(feed)
}

Like this (designed by @albinekb):

In turn, only /download should automatically download the latest release based on the user agent.

/download on linux could download AppImage file if there is one available, as it should work on any distrib.

Hi,
I'm using Hazel to auto-update a Windows app built with electron-forge.
autoUpdater fails to download the update a throws a 404, opening an error dialog. Any idea why?

Here's the relevant SquirrelSetup.log part:

2020-02-17 16:14:30> CheckForUpdateImpl: Downloading RELEASES file from https://myproject-hazel.now.sh/update/win32/0.1.5

I don't understand why it would look for the 0.1.6 release under the 0.1.5 folder...

My update code (onReady):

  const server = "https://myproject-hazel.now.sh";
  const feed = `${server}/update/${process.platform}/${app.getVersion()}`;
  autoUpdater.setFeedURL({ url: feed });

  // Check after a few seconds seconds
  setTimeout(() => {
    // Fail if not a Squirrel-installed app
    try {
      autoUpdater.checkForUpdates();
    } catch (error) {
      // Nothing to do here.
    }
  }, 10 * 1000);

Any help would be appreciated!

I found that deploying without setting -e URL=NOW_URL leaves hazel in a fritz.

{"error":{"code":"missing_configuration_properties","message":"Neither NOW_URL, nor URL are defined, which are mandatory for private repo mode"}}

https://hazel-e8w92zpdf.now.sh/

When checking the REALESES file download, with updated links to be able to download nupkg files properly, I saw that the nupkg links were not all edited, and were not mathcing the updates.

Observed behavior:

• My releases: https://github.com/Supamiu/ffxiv-teamcraft/releases
• The file you get from https://hazel.supamiu.now.sh/update/win32/7.0.0-beta.7/RELEASES:

Expected behavior:

I expected the urls to all be replaced with the corresponding github links, so the windows updater can properly download them from github.

I'm trying to migrate to Now v2 with a new clone of this Hazel server, my config looks like this:

now.json

  "version": 2,
  "name": "brandy-hazel-server",
  "alias": ["hazel-server-qrpzcymewp"],
  "builds": [
    {

    }
  ],
  "routes": [
    {
      "src": ".*",
      "dest": "/lib/server.js"
    }
  ]
}

Now CLI

now -e ACCOUNT="itsnwa" -e REPOSITORY="brandy" -e TOKEN="<access_token>" -e URL="<same_as_alias_in_config(https://hazel-server-qrpzcymewp.now.sh)>"

When I look at the log in the zeit dashboard, I get this:

I was wondering if there would be interest in having a way to provide downloading a dmg instead of the zip file for OSX users. The issue with the zip file is that the it usually stays in the ~/Downloads folder which makes it impossible for auto updates to work (Squirrel/Squirrel.Mac#186, Squirrel/Squirrel.Mac#182).

Nuts does something similar by way of file preference

Thoughts?

Hi everyone, I am trying to create a release using Electron Forge. It works fine but whenever I try to upload the out folder, GitHub complains that the files are too large.

How are you getting around this issue? Any help would be appreciated.

Im using electron-updater;
its throwing: Cannot find channel "latest.yml" update info: HttpError: 404
config:
const { autoUpdater } = require("electron-updater") const server = "https://hazel.mineinfo80.now.sh/"; const feed = "${server}/update/${process.platform}/${app.getVersion()}";

Is there a way to auto detect Ubuntu / deb and download the appropriate file, like we currently have for Mac and Windows?

Hello, wanted to know if Hazel can be used with Bitbucket.
Thanks.
