Hi,
A variation of #15029 but applies mostly to NVDA alpha snapshots (for now):
Prerequisites:
NVDA 2024.1 alpha, one or more add-ons marked incompatible with 2024.1 API, one or more of these add-ons enabled (overriding compatibility). updates released for at least one of these add-ons.
Steps to reproduce:
- From add-on store, make sure incompatible add-ons are enabled (forcefully a.k.a. overriding compatibility).
- Restart NVDA when prompted.
- Open add-on store, then go to available add-ons tab.
- Make sure "include incompatible add-ons" is checked and channel is set to "all".
- If updates are available, the new versions will be shown from available add-ons tab, hopefully these updates should be compatible with 2024.1 API (preferably dev builds).
- Try installing add-on updates via context menu for "incompatible" add-ons.
Actual behavior:
There is no "install/update" option in add-on context menu despite the updated add-on (or a dev build) declaring compatibility (and actually tested) with 2024.1 API (alpha).
Expected behavior:
Updates can be installed (either from available or updatable add-ons tab).
NVDA logs, crash dumps and other attachments:
System configuration
NVDA installed/portable/running from source:
Installed
NVDA version:
alpha-29490,2adb77cb
Windows version:
Windows 11 23H2 beta (build 22631.2338)
Name and version of other software in use when reproducing the issue:
None
Other information about your system:
Add-on development workstation
Other questions
Does the issue still occur after restarting your computer?
Yes
Have you tried any other versions of NVDA? If so, please report their behaviors.
NVDA 2023.2/2023.3 exhibits similar issues, although the main issue being discussed occurs with alpha builds
If NVDA add-ons are disabled, is your problem still occurring?
Yes
Does the issue still occur after you run the COM Registration Fixing Tool in NVDA's tools menu?
Not applicable
Additional context:
Some add-on authors would like to test their add-on(s) with alpha level code (with dev builds) and would like to also test add-on updating functionality provided by the add-on store.
Thanks.
