Version confusion

[hced]

On this page, it's indicated that docpad@6.53 is currently the newest version.

Having the latest node & npm installed, grabbing docpad via npm install -g docpad and then doing docpad --version gives me docpad 6.48.1.

That's strange...

Could you try running sudo npm install -g docpad@6.53.1 and then in your project's root folder (where you can find the package.json and docpad.coffee files) could you run docpad udpate?

After that what does docpad --version return?

As a todo for the core, we should have docpad --version output at the end which installation or is for.

Greduan: thanks, your advice helped me at least partially:

Did what you said and the global docpad won't update further from 6.48.1 for some weird reason (I've experienced this before; seems something's odd with npm on my system). However, doing docpad --version inside my project outputs 6.53.2.

Edit: I will close this issue as I highly suspect this problem is isolated to my system only.

[greduan]

@hced Ah OK. The reason for this is because it's outputting the version of the local DocPad version. The one inside your project and not the global one.

Glad that helped. :)

Re-opening, we need to figure out why @hced's global version is not updating, as other users may be experiencing this but not reporting it.

[balupton]

v6.53.3 just released which will now outputs what installation the version is for - doesn't fix the issue, but helps debugging it.

@hced are you on windows by any chance?

because there is an npm plugin installation path difference when using different console types on windows..see here for more info and fix

@balupton it maybe useful to add the program location too...i.e. when running "npm" by itself it outputs it's program location with it's current version at the very bottom
