Here's the log:

There is something unexpected in your setup. I found this text:

2024-10-22 14:37:26,776 WARN oo.st.MainFrame [AWT-EventQueue-0] Could not get version for C:\Oolite
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Oolite\Resources\manifest.plist (The system cannot find the path specified)

I do not know your setup but suspect the home directory should be a subdirectory of what it is right now. Do you have something like C:\Oolite\oolite.app?

Edit: What happens if you press 'Scan'? Does OoliteStarter automatically find your Oolite installation? What is the home directory after autofill?

The install directory is C:\Oolite, which is the default, as far as I can tell.

Scan does not find any installations.

That is odd. Do you have a directory C:\Oolite\oolite.app?

[arquebus]

Yes, it looks like everything is in the right place. When I do an install of whichever build I've downloaded, it defaults to C:\Oolite and correctly overrides everything there.

Ok, then please start OoliteStarter, go to the installations tab and check your active installation.
Set the home directory to C:\Oolite\oolite.app

That should enable OoliteStarter to automatically check the Oolite version, which means the warning in the logfile should no longer appear. And the behaviour of constantly asking for Oolite updates should change.

[arquebus]

Ah that's probably it! The home directory was set to C:\Oolite not C:\Ooolite\oolite.app.

Well, after fixing the home directory, I'm still getting this issue.

So what is in the logfile this time?

Here's the current logfile:

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/nyhj4jtb ... qs03i&dl=0

I ran Starter today and it asked me to update Oolite to the version I already have. (It's been a while since I've tested, and the last couple of times Oolite had actually been updated.)

Hmmm, this time the log does not show any errors, so your setup is good. But it also does not contain any explanatory messages for the behaviour you see. I'll modify the code to add some more information.

Irrelevant of the above these hints to update appear at most once per week. With that I intend to not annoy users with too many update requests. On the other side it means you take forever to sort this out. But you can reduce this update interval by editing $HOME/.oolite-starter.conf. There is a section like

Code: Select all

<ExpansionManager>
    <manifestUrl>https://addons.oolite.space/api/1.0/overview/</manifestUrl>
    <updateCheckInterval>PT168H</updateCheckInterval>
</ExpansionManager>

The updateCheckInterval is the time between update checks in ISO 8601 Duration format.
You can reduce it to see results more often. If you make it short enough you will see update notifications on every startup of OoliteStarter.

Example: PT15S
