Library Manager: update library / check for updates
Jan 26th, 2024 at 6:01pm
Print Post  
In Micro explorer there is not correct representation of latest library version. For example:
- RTClib by Adafruit is 1.14.2 as latest; but actually the latest is 2.1.3
- ArduinoJson, shown is 6.21.5, should be 7.0.2

When I update it manually, VM wants to update back to old version (PrtScr attached)

(only some Libs are affected, and NO double Libs are installed)

Do I do something wrong, or...?

If you mean "rescan": yes. PrtScr is done after rescan.

This is info of SW:
- Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019, Version 16.11.33
- VS: 2024.102.1903

(but, the same problem was noticed even on older versions)

If you expand the "all" part of the library manager and search or navigate to the arduinojson library. Expanding it shows all versions of the lib. Can you install the correct one from that list?

Yes, I can install any version if I expand to all versions. This is what I meant with "manual update" in my first post above.

I see. it's possible the library index has the versions in the wrong order and that visual micro isn't using the right ordering when installing from the updates section. 

we will look at it thanks

It maybe even extracts the wrong version number from "library.properties" file. For example on RTClib:
- in library.properties: 
    name=RTClib
    version=2.1.3
    author=Adafruit
- VM explorer shows version 1.11.3 as beeing currently installed and that it is possible to upgrade to 1.14.2. Altough, it has 2.1.3 listed (see PrtScr), but not as installed.

Thanks, that could be a mistake in the libraries. 

The list of versions in Library Manager comes from the arduino.cc > library-index.json. The version in the library.properties can only be known after install of a specific library version (it is also set by the library author).

In the design of the arduino specification there is no correlation between the entries shown in the library manager (index) and the library that is actually installed. This is because installing a library is simply just copying the (any) library sources to documents/arduino/libraries/libname.

Does the arduino ide library manager show same issue?

I checked and compared to arduino IDE Lib manager. It shows correct versions an suggests the updates. So, I think it all points to VM Explorer. I am attaching my library-index.json, just in case.
