Different plugin archives from git and marketplace

Viper · October 6, 2014, 5:38pm

Hi!
I distribute my plugin into marketplace. As I know piwik download the plugin archives from github. But plugin archive from github and marketplace are different but have the same tag.

Can anyone explain how could it be?

Hi Viper,

I’m not sure what you mean. In which way is the ZIP from the marketplace different compared to the GitHub repository?

Version from http://plugins.piwik.org/api/1.0/plugins/Counter/download/2.0.6 and https://github.com/Globulopolis/Counter/archive/2.0.6.zip is different.
Look at the issue asstes/js/minicolors.min.js · Issue #3 · Globulopolis/Counter · GitHub

Is it possible that you tagged the version 2.0.6 twice with the same tag name?

I can see two tags within about 30 minutes. If so, what happened is probably that we’ve packaged the plugin on the first tag but the second one was ignored as this version was already tagged. In this case you might have even gotten an email reporting a problem? Can you maybe check your spam folder?

Allow plugin developers to delete a specific version from the Marketplace

Enhancement c: Marketplace

Sometimes you might notice that you've tagged a version that contains an error a…nd you simply want to remove this version from the Marketplace again. In case someone removes a previous tagged version we get notified by GitHub receiving a `{deleted: true}` instead of a `{created:true}` property so we could delete this version based on that property. Would also prevent issues like this were people tag a specific version, remove the tag and tag the version again see http://forum.piwik.org/read.php?9,120677,120776#msg-120776 Although in such a case the developer is supposed to tag a new version instead of using the same name again. The developer should even get an email stating that this version was already tagged.

Keep a copy of sent emails in the Marketplace

worksforme c: Marketplace

Background: We are sending emails to a developer reporting whether a plugin upda…te/creation was successful or whether an error happened. It would be good to keep a copy of all sent emails. This would allow us to reproduce what the platform did when a developer reports a problem like this: http://forum.piwik.org/read.php?9,120677,120776#msg-120776 Here it would be very good to know whether our platform sent an email re "not possible to tag same version" or not. In theory it should but we cannot tell for sure. We could maybe also resolve this outside of the application but we do not have permission to access corresponding logs and saving the file should be easy to implement

I just had a look on the server and noticed we sent indeed an email having the subject “There was an issue while publishing your Piwik plugin” and a message that contains an explanation of what happened. Can you maybe check your mails / spam folder and confirm you got the email? It was on 31th of August 2014

Viper · October 10, 2014, 12:08pm

Yep! I saw the message about an error while tagging twice. But when I remove tag from github, the current version still available on the marketplace. On second try I got an error message which you describe above.

thomas_matomo · October 12, 2014, 7:23pm

Alright. Maybe you can tag it again as 2.0.7 (needs update in plugin.json)? Then it’ll work. We will support removing versions at some point in the future
