Question

I am having problems upgrading plugins using the Find TWiki Extensions interface in the configuration interface.

I have tried upgrading both the CommentPlugin and the EditTablePlugin. In both cases the plugin appears to install; however, I get the following warning:

Warning: No CommentPlugin_installer.pl script found in archive

I get a similar warning for EditTablePlugin. If I look in my twiki directory I can see that the installer scripts are present: CommentPlugin_installer and EditTablePlugin_installer, but they do not have the .pl file extension. As well, they are not executable.

If I go to either the CommentPlugin or EditTablePlugin topic my TWiki web the version has been updated, but if I go to the InstalledPlugins topic, the old versions are shown. I would like to get this working properly if possible.

That's a bit strange; the installer is supposed to execute the _installer script (without the .pl extensions. I wonder if there was a mixup when mergeing. I will check.

OK, I confirmed that plugins uploaded with no .pl on the installer script won't get installed.

Thanks, Crawford. Version 4.1.2 runs the script now.
