Last version not available using u3d available

[Rakiah]

Hello, just a question, how does U3D search for the latest linux versions ?

the 2018.3 version is now available but can not be found using u3d available

https://forum.unity.com/threads/unity-on-linux-release-notes-and-known-issues.350256/page-2#post-4009651

Also seeing this. The last version my Linux build agent is seeing available is 2018.2.7f1, regardless of whether I'm checking against the cache or not. (u3d available || u3d available --no-central)

(I believe 2018.2.7f1 was released in September, and was latest until this week assuming the thread above is an accurate representation.)

After a u3d available -f (on Mac) I'm seeing 2018.3.0f1 off beta.unity3d.com, but no 2018.3.0f2 which is the latest official release on the download archive.

It seems like another download URL pattern change, along the lines of #322. Only this time it looks like there is no version number following UnityDownloadAssistant...

It looks like the latest version file (https://beta.unity3d.com/download/6e9a27477296/UnitySetup-2018.3.0f2) was posted directly on the forum page, rather than nested on a 'public_download' page.

I may be doing something wrong, but I still don't see 2018.3 on my Ubuntu 18.04 server running 1.1.3. I double checked the contents of /lib/u3d/unity_versions.rb to see if the changes in pull request #338 were present and they were at least for that file.

I had both 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 installed, I removed both and reinstalled only 1.1.3 and the behavior persists. I also tried using the "no-central" flag with no difference to behavior. Output below.

taylor@nami:~$ u3d --version
u3d 1.1.3
taylor@nami:~$ u3d available | grep 2018.3
taylor@nami:~$ u3d available | grep 2018.2
Version 2018.2.0b2: https://beta.unity3d.com/download/7b8938f7fa83/
<... truncated for brevity ...>
Version 2018.2.7f1: https://beta.unity3d.com/download/dad990bf2728/

Hey @phearbot, thanks for noticing that.

Issue replicated on my computer:

$ u3d available -o linux --central -f -u 2018.3.*
Version 2018.3.* doesn't match any in cache

I believe that this is due to an issue in our central cache, I'll go take a look.

In the meantime, you can do the following

$ u3d available -o linux --no-central -f -u 2018.3.*
Cache is out of date. Updating cache for Linux
Loading Unity releases
Found 83 releases.
Version 2018.3.0f2: https://beta.unity3d.com/download/6e9a27477296/

Note that the -u 2018.3.* is just for display purpose, not actually important the key here is to skip the central cache with the --no-central option!

@niezbop, ahh, that's embarrassing. I tried a few combinations with the o, f and u flags, and the no-central separately. Can confirm you are correct, thank you!

[niezbop]

@phearbot No problem! I just bumped u3d on the cache server so that it uses 1.1.3 so it will appear on the cache soon 😄
