Lucas Fernandes Nogueira 24e6451b11 fix(updater): fall back to the next temp location for AppImage updates (#3693)
- `tempdir_in(..)?` and `metadata()?` returned early on the first location
  that failed (e.g. a non-writable `/tmp`), so the cache dir and the
  directory next to the AppImage were never tried. Failures now move on to
  the next location, as the deb/rpm path already did.
- The candidate list was duplicated between the AppImage and deb/rpm paths;
  both now use `tmp_dir_locations`, which also no longer unwraps the parent
  of the app path (`extract_path.parent().unwrap()`).

Compile-checked with clippy in a Linux container (default features).

Install

This plugin requires a Rust version of at least 1.90

There are three general methods of installation that we can recommend.

  1. Use crates.io and npm (easiest, and requires you to trust that our publishing pipeline worked)
  2. Pull sources directly from Github using git tags / revision hashes (most secure)
  3. Git submodule install this repo in your tauri project and then use file protocol to ingest the source (most secure, but inconvenient to use)

Install the Core plugin by adding the following to your Cargo.toml file:

src-tauri/Cargo.toml

# you can add the dependencies on the `[dependencies]` section if you do not target mobile
[target."cfg(not(any(target_os = \"android\", target_os = \"ios\")))".dependencies]
tauri-plugin-updater = "2.0.0"
# alternatively with Git:
tauri-plugin-updater = { git = "https://github.com/tauri-apps/plugins-workspace", branch = "v2" }

You can install the JavaScript Guest bindings using your preferred JavaScript package manager:

pnpm add @tauri-apps/plugin-updater
# or
npm add @tauri-apps/plugin-updater
# or
yarn add @tauri-apps/plugin-updater

Usage

First you need to register the core plugin with Tauri:

src-tauri/src/lib.rs

fn main() {
    tauri::Builder::default()
        .setup(|app| {
            #[cfg(desktop)]
            app.handle().plugin(tauri_plugin_updater::Builder::new().build())?;
            Ok(())
        })
        .run(tauri::generate_context!())
        .expect("error while running tauri application");
}

Afterwards all the plugin's APIs are available through the JavaScript guest bindings:

import { check } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-updater'
import { relaunch } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-process'
const update = await check()
if (update) {
  await update.downloadAndInstall()
  // Relaunch the app on macOS and Linux to run the newly install version
  await relaunch()
}

Note that for these APIs to work you have to properly configure the updater first and generate updater artifacts. Please refer to the guide on our website for this.
