# Clearing Electron-Updater Cache
|
|
|
|
To force electron-updater to re-download an update file, you need to clear the cached download.
|
|
|
|
## Quick Method (Terminal)
|
|
|
|
### macOS
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Remove the entire cache directory
|
|
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/hytale-f2p-launcher
|
|
|
|
# Or just remove pending downloads
|
|
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/hytale-f2p-launcher/pending
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Remove the entire cache directory
|
|
rmdir /s "%LOCALAPPDATA%\hytale-f2p-launcher-updater"
|
|
|
|
# Or just remove pending downloads
|
|
rmdir /s "%LOCALAPPDATA%\hytale-f2p-launcher-updater\pending"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Linux
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Remove the entire cache directory
|
|
rm -rf ~/.cache/hytale-f2p-launcher-updater
|
|
|
|
# Or just remove pending downloads
|
|
rm -rf ~/.cache/hytale-f2p-launcher-updater/pending
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Cache Locations
|
|
|
|
electron-updater stores downloaded updates in:
|
|
|
|
- **macOS**: `~/Library/Caches/hytale-f2p-launcher/`
|
|
- **Windows**: `%LOCALAPPDATA%\hytale-f2p-launcher-updater\`
|
|
- **Linux**: `~/.cache/hytale-f2p-launcher-updater/`
|
|
|
|
The cache typically contains:
|
|
- `pending/` - Downloaded update files waiting to be installed
|
|
- Metadata files about available updates
|
|
|
|
## After Clearing
|
|
|
|
After clearing the cache:
|
|
1. Restart the launcher
|
|
2. It will check for updates again
|
|
3. The update will be re-downloaded from scratch
|
|
|
|
## Programmatic Method
|
|
|
|
You can also clear the cache programmatically by adding this to your code:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
const { autoUpdater } = require('electron-updater');
|
|
const path = require('path');
|
|
const fs = require('fs');
|
|
const os = require('os');
|
|
|
|
function clearUpdateCache() {
|
|
const cacheDir = path.join(
|
|
os.homedir(),
|
|
process.platform === 'win32'
|
|
? 'AppData/Local/hytale-f2p-launcher-updater'
|
|
: process.platform === 'darwin'
|
|
? 'Library/Caches/hytale-f2p-launcher'
|
|
: '.cache/hytale-f2p-launcher-updater'
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
if (fs.existsSync(cacheDir)) {
|
|
fs.rmSync(cacheDir, { recursive: true, force: true });
|
|
console.log('Update cache cleared');
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
