feat(update): upgrade dbmux in place instead of reinstalling by hand - #14
Merged

Conversation
Upgrading dbmux meant remembering which channel it was installed through and running the right command by hand. The command now detects the channel and drives it: release assets are downloaded and checksum-verified for standalone binaries, and the global install command is re-run for npm, bun and pnpm. Compiled binaries could not report their own version. getPackageInfo read package.json off disk, which does not exist inside the Bun single-file executable virtual filesystem, so it fell back to a hardcoded 2.2.0 while the package was on 2.3.1. Embedding the version at build time is a prerequisite for any version comparison.

Inline comments:
In `@packages/cli/src/utils/binary-installer.ts`:
- Around line 120-127: Update the version validation after executeCommand in the
binary installer to parse the documented --version output and compare its
reported version field exactly with version, rejecting substring matches such as
9.9.90 for expected 9.9.9. Add a test covering this mismatch while preserving
the existing rollback behavior.
- Around line 138-146: Update the binary installation flow around mover.move and
verifyInstalledVersion to use an out-of-process Windows updater: defer replacing
or removing the running executable until the CLI has exited, while preserving
rollback behavior for failures before handoff. Add a Windows CI test that runs
the update using a compiled executable and verifies the replacement succeeds.
In `@packages/cli/src/utils/version-check.ts`:
- Around line 60-76: Update the fetch calls in the version-check flow to use a
defined timeout via AbortController or the project’s existing timeout mechanism,
aborting both npm and GitHub requests when the deadline expires. Ensure timeout
aborts are converted into the existing user-facing failure path rather than
leaving update checks stalled, while preserving current response validation and
error handling.
- Around line 8-20: Replace the numeric-only parseVersion logic with complete
Semantic Version parsing and comparison used by isNewerVersion: accept valid
prerelease and build metadata, reject missing components, malformed versions,
and extra numeric components, and apply SemVer prerelease precedence while
ignoring build metadata for ordering. Add coverage for prerelease, build
metadata, malformed inputs, and extra components.
Apply the same fix in `@packages/cli/src/commands/update.ts` around lines 96 - 99:
The comparison call must be covered by the same user-facing error path.
In `@packages/cli/tests/binary-installer.test.ts`:
- Around line 1-4: Update the binary-installer test setup to mock fs/promises
before importing binary-installer.ts, replacing real mkdtemp, readdir, readFile,
rm, and writeFile operations with in-memory mock state. Keep the existing test
behavior and assertions while ensuring no host filesystem access occurs.
In `@README.md`:
- Line 17: Update the README “Self-Updating” bullet to list all supported update
targets: binary, npm, bun, and pnpm installations, while retaining the existing
checksum-verification detail.

verifyInstalledVersion used output.includes(version), so expecting 9.9.9 accepted a binary reporting 9.9.90. The installer then deleted the rollback backup and reported success for a binary it had not actually verified. Compare the trimmed output exactly. Also: bound the two registry metadata reads with a 10s timeout so a connection that is accepted but never answered cannot hang the update check; move the version comparison inside the try so an unparseable remote version reports the normal failure instead of escaping the handler; and keep a backup that cannot be deleted rather than failing an update that already succeeded, which is the case on Windows where a running image can be renamed but not removed.

dbmux had no way to upgrade itself. Whoever installed it had to remember which of the two channels they used — the standalone binary that
install.shdrops into/usr/local/bin, or a global npm, bun or pnpm package — and then run the matching command by hand.dbmux updatenow detects the channel it is running from and drives the upgrade itself: for a standalone binary it downloads the release asset, verifies its SHA256 against the release'schecksums.txt, and replaces the binary in place; for a global package it re-runs that package manager's install command.dbmux update --checkreports whether a newer version exists without installing anything.Fixing this surfaced a defect that had to be fixed first.
getPackageInfo()readpackage.jsonoff disk to report the version, but a Bun-compiled binary serves its bundle from a virtual filesystem at/$bunfs/rootwhere nopackage.jsonexists, so the read always threw and fell back to a hardcoded"2.2.0". Every standalone binary therefore reported2.2.0regardless of its real version, and any version comparison built on that would have claimed an update was available forever. The version is now embedded at build time.What changed
dbmux updateupgrades a standalone binary: downloads the matching release asset for the current platform, verifies its checksum, and swaps it in.dbmux updateupgrades a global npm, bun or pnpm install by re-running that manager's global install command.dbmux update --checkreports an available update and exits without changing anything.git, rather than attempting a meaningless upgrade.dbmux --versionnow reports the real version inside compiled binaries.The binary swap keeps the previous executable as
dbmux.olduntil the newly installed one reports the expected version, then deletes it; if that check fails, the previous binary is moved back. Moving the running executable aside before moving the new one in is also what allows this to work on Windows, where a running.execannot be overwritten in place. When the install directory is not writable, the move runs undersudo, matching whatinstall.shalready does.How to verify
bun run typecheckandbun run lintboth exit 0.bun run test— 23 files, 172 tests pass, including 25 new ones covering version comparison, install-method detection, platform-to-asset mapping, checksum lookup, and the command's own branches.packages/cli/tests/binary-installer.test.tsdrivesreplaceBinaryagainst a real temporary directory with a stubbed release, covering the successful swap, the rollback when the new binary reports the wrong version, a checksum mismatch, and a failed download. Each asserts the installed file's contents and that no backup or staging file is left behind.bun run build:binary && ./binaries/dbmux --versionprints2.3.1; the same command onmainprints2.2.0../binaries/dbmux update --checkagainst the live GitHub releases API anddist/index.jsfrom anode_modules/dbmux/path against the live npm registry; both correctly report being on the latest version. Exit codes checked: 0 when up to date, 1 from a source checkout.replaceBinaryagainst the real published 2.3.1 release with a copy of the binary in a temp directory. The 59 MB download and checksum verification passed, and because the published 2.3.1 binary predates the version fix it reported2.2.0, which correctly triggered the rollback — the original file was restored with an identical SHA256 and nothing was left behind.Risk and scope notes
binary-installertests, which runreplaceBinaryagainst a real directory; the live run proved everything up to and including rollback. This cannot affect a real upgrade, sinceupdateonly exists in versions that already contain the version fix and always fetches the latest release.sudofallback for an unwritable install directory also does not apply on Windows; a Windows user installing outside a writable directory would see a confusing failure.ReadableStreamtypes in@types/node, and the binary is around 59 MB.dbmux updatecalls it.There is no tracking issue in this repository; this came from a direct request.
