Overview ¶
Package update implements prereview's self-update: checking GitHub for a newer release, verifying the download against the release checksums, and atomically swapping the running binary. It also detects package-manager installs (Homebrew, Scoop) whose lifecycle prereview must not disturb.

Variables ¶
var ( ErrDevBuild = errors.New("not a released build (version is \"dev\"); install a release from https://github.com/livetemplate/prereview/releases or via `go install github.com/livetemplate/prereview@latest`") ErrGoBuildCache = errors.New("running from the go build cache (go run); self-update is only for installed release binaries") ErrAlreadyCurrent = errors.New("already on the latest version") ErrThrottled = errors.New("update check skipped (already checked within the last hour)") ErrUnwritable = errors.New("the prereview binary is not writable; reinstall it somewhere you own or run with elevated permissions") ErrChecksumMismatch = errors.New("checksum mismatch: the downloaded archive is corrupt or has been tampered with") )
Sentinel errors. Their message text is what the `--update` command prints to the user, so keep them human-readable. The on-run path treats the "expected, not really a failure" ones as no-ops.
Functions ¶
func Reexec ¶
Reexec replaces the current process with the freshly-installed binary so the in-flight invocation runs the new version. PREREVIEW_UPDATED makes the child skip its own update check (loop guard). On unix this never returns on success (the image is replaced); on Windows it spawns a child, waits, and exits with the child's status.
func ResolveExecutablePath ¶
ResolveExecutablePath returns the real on-disk path of the running binary with symlinks resolved (Homebrew/asdf/nix wrappers), or ErrGoBuildCache when running via `go run`.
func SelfUpdate ¶
func SelfUpdate(ctx context.Context, current, targetPath, apiBase string, client *http.Client, cacheDir string, force bool) (newTag string, err error)
SelfUpdate is the single orchestrator used by both `--update` (force=true, bypasses the 1h throttle) and the on-run check (force=false). On success it returns the new tag and nil; the "expected non-update" outcomes are returned as sentinel errors so the caller can decide whether to surface or silently ignore them.
func ShouldAutoUpdate ¶
ShouldAutoUpdate is the pure predicate gating the on-run check. It is false for dev builds, when opted out via flag/env, and inside a re-exec'd child (PREREVIEW_UPDATED set) to prevent an update loop.
Types ¶
type PkgManager ¶
type PkgManager struct {
Name string // display name, e.g. "Homebrew"
Upgrade string // e.g. "brew upgrade prereview"
Uninstall string // e.g. "brew uninstall prereview"
}
PkgManager identifies the package manager that owns a binary's lifecycle and the exact commands to suggest. upgrade/uninstall are stored in full because the verbs aren't uniform across managers (brew upgrades with "brew upgrade" but Scoop uses "scoop update"; both uninstall with "uninstall").
func DetectPackageManager ¶
func DetectPackageManager(exePath string) (pm PkgManager, ok bool)
DetectPackageManager reports whether the binary at exePath was installed by a package manager that owns its lifecycle. Self-replacing or self-deleting such a binary would desync it from the manager's metadata, so both the update and uninstall paths defer to the manager instead. Detection is a path-substring heuristic on the symlink-resolved executable path (ResolveExecutablePath already calls EvalSymlinks): Homebrew installs land under a ".../Cellar/..." prefix on both Intel (/usr/local/Cellar) and ARM (/opt/homebrew/Cellar) layouts; Scoop installs live under a "scoop" directory. ok is false for binaries placed by curl, `go install`, or a manual download.
