NI Package Manager (NIPM)
NI Package manager command line "List" does not return packages in sorted order.
This is a feature request \ bug report. I'm using
nipkg list <name of my component> to return the list of all versions of that component from all feeds registered to my machine. The list is NOT in order. It would be nice to ge the list in either increasing or decreasing order. (even better if we had the option to specify increasing or decreasing). See the screenshot below:
I did some additional testing and figured out that the order that we see in the log is the order in which the packages are discovered as it goes through NIPM's registered feeds. The feed order can be seen in NIPM's feed management tab.
I also agree that it would be more convenient to have the packages output in order of version. Thank you for the feedback! We'll definitely take that into consideration!
If anyone is looking for a LabVIEW VI to programmatically do this... the Get Package Available Versions VI in the NIPM API (v3.0.0.4) returns a package's available versions from highest to lowest version. You can install this API by searching "NIPM API" in VIPM.
Thanks for the feedback on the "nipkg list" CLI command!
