Workstation app update check pops up an error when connection times out
Closed this issue · 3 comments
Description
When the Chef Workstation app attempts to connect to Fastly for the update check and times out - for example connections to Fastly CDN are blocked on a customer's network - the following popup appears.
This is less than delightful as the user is unable to do anything about that. Auto-update checks should fail silently, or perhaps report the date of the last successful update check in the "About Chef Workstation" dialog instead.
Chef Workstation Version
0.16.33
Platform Version
Windows 10

The fix for this should not pop up a notification, but it should display something in the app to show that functionality is limited. Perhaps a ! on the taskbar icon?

The message should only be displaying when the user has requested an update check from the menu, so that if it fails they're not left with no response. Unless the user has directly requested the check, no popup should be seen.
