Check for updates give no response
-
@Ayespy I think on macOS there is some code missing as the auto update hides the update prompt (if you try a check for updates with auto updates on the prompt will not show) and does not have a progress bar that is visible.
-
@jtummins Since then, have you been updating by manually downloading and installing the latest version?
Also, did you ever previously switch back and forth between Stable and Snapshot versions? Did you ever downgrade Vivaldi? Just trying to think of what could have put the updater on your installation into a bad state, where it's either broken or (possibly) checking for updates for the wrong stream.

I've had similar issue, dialog box didn't show up front or behind. In the end I manually downloaded an updated. Now is working as normal when choose Vivaldi > Check for updates...
-
Still having this issue, had to do another manual update.
Anyone have idea what is the issue?
-
@bluesnoop85 Do you have Automatillay download and Install Updates checked? (last time I had that had it broke the manual check for updates, not sure if it is fixed yet)

Turning Automatically download and install updates, works just have to remember to check for updated weekly.

I know that updating Vivaldi on macOS has been problematic for some. I checked the bugtracker and currently see two open/Confirmed bugs related to this:
VB-75242: a generic bug where "Check for updates" does not open the update dialog.
VB-73960: a more specific bug where "Check for updates" does not open the update dialog if an update is currently downloading.It makes me wonder what would happen if a download either failed (and Vivaldi did not clean up properly) or only completed partially, and whether this could also cause problems for the Vivaldi updater on macOS.
-
@xyzzy Interesting that there might be a left over download that failed (I might have had that happen in the past). Know where on macOS the partial download might be?
When https://forum.vivaldi.net/assets/uploads/files/1620330167834-179f5d28-1b13-417c-8d2e-98215ea8ef56-image.png was added the check for update did nothing for me until I unchecked that box.

@chas4 I am not actively testing on macOS at the moment (my MacBook Pro died and I have not replaced it yet) but the last time I checked, which was ages ago, the downloaded updates were stored in
~/Library/Caches/com.vivaldi.Vivaldi/Sparkle/
I don't know whether or not Vivaldi stores lock files or any other temp files elsewhere. -
