User story

As a LGSM user, I want ./fctrserver cu to compare the local version to the remote version properly.

Game

Many, but in this case it's Factorio (2.*)

Linux distro

Other

Command

command: update

Further information

./fctrserver cu
[ OK ] Check for Update fctrserver: Checking for update: factorio.com

Update available

  • Local build: 2.0.9
    64 linux64
  • Remote build: 2.0.9 linux64
  • Branch: stable

When installing the update, * Remote build: 2.0.9 linux64 will turn into: * Local build: 2.0.9
64 linux64

In LGSM the code seems to be:

if Local build != Remote build then
Update Available!

My own workaround is to just look at the version number and leave out the build information after that.

Relevant log output

Not applicable

Steps to reproduce

do ./fctrserver update

then do ./fctrserver cu

Or run ./fctrserver update again.

Wanna get stuck in an update loop?

Set UpdateOnStart=True and watch LGSM spin updates to eternity.

Fyi this behaviour has been persistent since the new Factorio DLC, so 2.0.3 and 2.0.6 and 2.0.9 displayed the same behaviour, this is likely an issue on their end but what's stopping us from fixing it in LGSM.

See #4688, its an issue with how LGSM parses the version number from the factorio server binary.

Ah that makes complete sense, suppose I'll just have to await that merge.
