Description

Seen while testing the online updater for 10.10.0

  • Setup a local online updater, offering
    ownCloud 10.10.0 for the stable channel , and 'ownCloud daily' for daily channel.
  • start owncloud 10.9.1
  • login as admin, notifications appear as expected:
    image

  • switch the channel from 'stable' (default) to 'daily'. -> A green message says 'Updated channel'
    image

  • But the advertised version is still ownCloud 10.10.0.

Expected behaviour:

  • the version from the daily channel ownCloud daily should be shown.

Manual workaround:

  • logout the admin user, login again.
  • now the correct string is shown:

Research direction

Start with the online updater channel-switch flow and the notification refresh triggered after changing the channel. Reproduce the stable-to-daily steps and compare the notification before and after logging out and back in. Done means the daily-channel version appears immediately after switching channels, without requiring a new login.
