GitHub raw file download from a Private repo

[Neo Andersson 195]

Hello guys

 

Can anyone help me with a Http request, that would fetch a certain file from a certain private repository?

I was trying to use token, byt probably i malformed my HTTP call.

Any help please?

 

So far i tried these two ways, 

 

Way one, according to documentatin, there is a link for raw files with token

I have tried this inside a regula http call like

For versioning you can use releases on GitHub. Tag them with a version number. Your QA first fetches all releases and get the latest. Match that with your version tag in your QA and you know if there is a newer release.

Does it work when you use main in a QA to just do the init, update handling and launch the QA code in another file?

 

So a function in main downloads the new version file and replaces the old. Does this crash or cripple the QA? 
 

I have an update notifier via GitHub, buts in a public repo. On my list is this auto update mechanism. I know somebody has written it on the forum, but I forgot the user. 

It can work if you are lucky. But if you have an error in any of the files your QA is toast and needs manual recovery.

If you need to add or remove files, you may leave the QA in a state where it crashes because the QA restarts every time you add, remove, or update a file.

I think that's too heavy - to download the whole release every time. Often you just need to update selected files.

As Jgab mentioned, it is not working within the same QA that you want to update.  At this moment i am able to upate a some file in QA2 from a function in QA1. 

as I mentioned - I don't think updating from another QA will work with encrypted QAs.

Actuall you dont need to go through all the tags of releases on github. There is this url that give you the latest release

However the more tricky part is to add a version tag to my QA in Fibaro..JGAB suggested to use model property of the device..i am going to try to do it with some unique QA variable, or whatever..i will see

Jan, i have only one thing here that doesnt work for me. Can you help please?

I can update all the file in QA file structures with data coming from github using a table variable to PUT like

Please login or register to see this code.

but for some reason it works nicely for every file except the main..I can delete it, but when i try to upload the new main filee with new content, it doesn't work.

Any clue?

I don't think you can delete the main file - only update it.

Ohh my friend...but how??? That is the question

How to update QA files, layouts etc

 

With post it doesnt work. 

With put neither.

Please some example, how to update the entire QA, from a downloaded QA data?

I am loosing all my hairs

Maybe this helps you. I use this code to update a QA with unsupported GUI (selectbox) that I can't edit after I inject the GUI.

This works flawless, but as I said I run it from another QA. It updates the main "file" with the code from my helper QA. You have to use the code from GitHub on that place.
