How to Test a Build?

For a subsequent release, what would be the best way to test that the previous release can successfully update to the new version?

Is there a tutorial for that? I didn't see one.

Thanks in advance,

Ryan

Hey Ryan,

We mention it at the end of the step-by-step walkthrough. The key point to remeber is to not test on your original files -- make a copy to do the test.

I see the reference to this in the walk-through but I am not clear on how to do this. Can you clarify?

Which part don't you understand?

(Optional) Testing the updateIf you want to test the update process you'll need to do 2 things:

  1. Make a duplicate of your "1.1" version of your app (including the "client.wyc" and "wyUpdate.exe" files).
  2. Run your app (if you're using the AutomaticUpdater) or just run wyUpdate.exe (if you're using it as a standalone updater).
Note:

You don't want to test updating over your original files. Always make a copy of the folder to do the testing.
