I just updated luci for 17.01.5 and noticed that the installed version is git-18.201.27126-7bf0367-1 but the version shown in Luci footer (git-18.147.69097-36945b5)
I rebooted after updating but that had no effect.
What did you update exactly and how?
opkg install --force-reinstall luci
Thats just an empty meta package. You need to update luci-base, luci-mod-admin-full, luci-theme-bootstrap etc.
sorry before that i did
opkg list-upgradable | cut -f 1 -d " " | xargs opkg install
but when i saw the version numbe didn't change I tried force reinstall on luci
The version string was found here:
/overlay/upper/usr/lib/lua/luci/version.lua:luciversion = "git-18.147.69097-36945b5"
After installing the updated version of luci packages the correct luciversion string was in the file
/usr/lib/lua/luci/version.lua
It was necessary to remove cache files for the correct version to be displayed in the browser.
rm /tmp/luci-modulecache/* /tmp/luci-indexcache
AFAIK luci apps delete the /tmp/luci-indexcache file on install/thru uci-defaults.
Maybe you should create a bug on github against luci project to make sure that luci-base runs rm /tmp/luci-modulecache/* in its uci-defaults script?
Bug report raised
Hmmm.
The files in /tmp will not survive flash & reboot, so you can only run into this if you update LuCI and do not reboot.
I no longer see the issue after reboot, I'm not sure how/why I observed it the first time I reported the issue.
PS
You are correct. I only observe the issue if I install updated Luci packages without reboot.
Flashing a new firmware image obviously does not cause this issue.
