No Updates Found Migrating to Winter on Non-Composer Install

[NixFey]

• Winter CMS Build: October build 471
• PHP Version: 7.4.3
• Database Engine: MySQL
• Plugins Installed: RainLab.Builder 1.0.26, RainLab.GoogleAnalytics 1.3.0, PanaKour.SendGrid 1.0.0

Description:

I'm trying to migrate my October CMS installation to Winter using the updateServer method. I've set the updateServer in the cms.php to https://api.wintercms.com/marketplace, but when I check for updates in the UI or on the CLI with october:update, it says that no updates are available. I'm not sure if this is just an issue with my environment or maybe a bigger issue with the cms.php method of migrating away from October.

Steps To Reproduce:

• Be on October CMS (non-composer install)
• Change updateServer to the Winter CMS one as described in migration instructions
• Have disableCoreUpdates false
• Check for updates on UI or CLI

@evanlihou the update file isn't yet available from the marketplace API, should be available in a week at most.

Thanks for the update @LukeTowers! If the marketplace API isn't yet distributing the new version, you might want to consider noting that in the blog post.

I'm really excited to see where this project goes, and I'm glad to see the maintainers keeping a FOSS version alive. Keep up the good work!

@evanlihou updated the blog post, thanks!

@LukeTowers Is there any information about when the marketplace API will be available?

[LukeTowers]

@zlobec @bennothommo is currently working on the API for the core updates, hopefully soon. This month has been extremely busy for me as we just bought our first house so I've been running around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to deal with everything that entails and move.

No worries ... I'm too in the middle of a move... and yeah... Keep up the good work.

We've all hit our roadblocks at the same time - mine is a grizzly newborn, hence why progress has been slow. I'm still slowly chipping away at the core updates - once that's done, the installer should be out shortly afterwards. I can't commit to a timeframe yet though, so I can only say "soon" as @LukeTowers said.
