Verified working extensions (Version based) store

Vlad

rafajrichard Popular extension is supposed to be this?

rafajrichard

Understood. The name is a bit confusing tho. It would be nice if it had some update system as mentioned.

Vlad

rafajrichard It has an update system, we just do not have resources to check that every extension works each time they publish an update.

Vlad When I click update in extension settings, even if installed via the popular extensions menu, it updates to the latest available version regardless, not the latest "verified"version. So the update system doesn't work properly.

Vlad

rafajrichard It does work as intended, as explained before we do not have resources to verify every new version of extension.

rafajrichard

Vlad So the expected behavior is to immediately overwrite it with the latest version while updating? I'm not saying that Orion devs should verify every release, but there should be a way to keep the extension on the last "verified" version and the ability to update it automatically once the devs verify a newer version.

Vlad

rafajrichard You can turn off automatic updates for the extension?

rafajrichard

But then the extension NEVER updates, even if there is a newer compatible version available. I'm providing a suggestion for the future, not complaining about a bug. This is only a botch solution to the problem.

Vlad

rafajrichard I think you want it to update to the latest verified version, where latest verified version is already the one provided by popular extensions. So I am not sure what the ask is?

rafajrichard

Well there is no mechanism to do that update to the latest verified version. If I select update, it updates to the latest version available in the extension store, not the one verified by Orion. If I disable updates manually, it will never update, even if Orion verifies a new version down the line. Also there is no way to see which version is verified so now the only way to check is to completely uninstall and reinstall the extension.
