LOGIC: version invalid on built plugins in Plugin Manager

[tomekslesicki]

The AU validates fine, but the plugin version number is not read correctly. The plugin will still load fine and work, but will get rescanned every time Logic is opened. This is on develop build from April 24th, it was working before just fine.

@tomekslesicki Can you narrow it down to a specific commit? I don't remember changing anything that might affect this and I'd rather suspect Logic to behave weird with its AU caching.

Ok, I thought this https://github.com/juce-framework/JUCE/commit/366a62689419218852691d8db271168768743ca7 would be the fix but I just tested and it's still broken.

It seems like the problem is that the version number is not written to the AU file properly. AUval tells me this:

Component Version: 0.0.0 (0x0)

...while the version number is set to 1.0.3 in HISE, so I believe it should report 0x100030, right?

@Christoph-Hart I also have this issue. All of my plugins plus the Dorian Piano I was testing for you. Anything with Hise basically. I'll try and narrow it down if I can

[tomekslesicki]

@DanH @Christoph-Hart all I can say is that I'm sure the problem wasn't there before the new layout.

I haven't come across this problem with any of my AUi builds, but could this be related?

[tomekslesicki]

@d-healey I'll check that in a moment - how can I get there in Projucer?

[d.healey]

@tomekslesicki Click the cog icon

[tomekslesicki]

@d-healey nah, it's not that. In Projucer, the version number is correct. Engine.getVersionNumber gets a correct value, too. It's just that Logic and AUval don't understand it.

[DanH]

@tomekslesicki yes same here. Logic says 'Invalid' under version number on all my recent exports and the Dorian Marko Piano. The projucer projects are fine though.

[d.healey]

@DanH said in LOGIC: version invalid on built plugins in Plugin Manager:

Logic says 'Invalid' under version number

Where do you see this? I'm going to check mine.

[tomekslesicki]

@d-healey in the Plugin Manager. But when you'll run auval like this:

auval -v aufx plugincode companycode

...you'll see version number as 0.0.0. You might have to change the aufx to something else, I'm running this on an FX plugin for a moment but for instruments it's going to have a different class here.

Plugin code is the 4-letter code in HISE, company code too.

[tomekslesicki]

@d-healey you can also run

auval -a

and it will list all installed plugins, giving you both the au type and other info

[Christoph Hart]

@tomekslesicki Hmm, might have been broken with the JUCE 6 update.

I'll take a look next week.

[tomekslesicki]

@Christoph-Hart thanks!

[d.healey]

I'm getting the same result with my AU instrument plugin.

[tomekslesicki]

Just to add to this: the plist included in the .component file seems to have the proper version number (as set in HISE) but Logic doesn’t seem to care.

It’s on unviersal binaries, if it matters, but then I’m not sure if anybody would want to export non-M1 native at this point anyway ;-)

[DanH]

@tomekslesicki It's on non-universal binaries too

[DanH]

@Christoph-Hart did you manage to take a look at this this week?
