Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: API, defect)

Description

[Brian King [:kinger]]

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:6.0.2) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0.2

Steps:

1. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloader-player/versions/ and install v2.4.3 (2nd in list)

2. After restart, check for update for the add-on

Expected
2.4.4 is found and applied

Actual
No updates found in UI

With extensions.logging.enabled enabled, the output I get appears to show that an update is found but nothing happens with it.

As you can see something is wrong with the version number which gets returned via the AMO API. You have installed v2.4.3 and an update check returns v2.4.3 and says it is an update. Same happens if you install the latest version 2.4.4 and check for updates.

Note that 2.4.3 and all previous versions are in the experimental channel (some used to be public) and 2.4.4 is public. So if this is expected behaviour due to a channel limitation, I still think it is not right that no user of the add-on will get an update.

The extension had an incorrect status after being approved. It appeared as still pending review, and I think that's the reason the updates weren't being pushed.

Please try again in a couple of hours and reopen if the problem persists.
