[advanced]Unable to update a project with updated extension

Post by SimpleSi » Oct 2nd, '17, 17:22

If I have a project that uses an extension, i can't find a method to re-load/update the extension to a new improved version

You're right, there is not currently a way to do that and there definitely should be.

For now you might try importing the new extension. There will now be two versions. You would then need to replace all calls to exported methods with the blocks from the new version of the extension. But I agree, that's really ugly!

Another approach (similarly beauty-impaired) might be to export the classes from your project, import them into a new project, and import the new version of the extension into that.

I'll think about how to handle this the way you'd expect (i.e. importing the new version just updates everything in place).
