Update.json not recognised in install directory

[skfin]

My Setup

• Operating System: Windows 10
• App Version: 2.9, 2.10.1

• I have tested with the latest version
• I can simulate the issue easily

Description

I'm trying to disable update notifications using the update.json file with:

{ "autoUpdate": false }

This works in the appdata folder but not in the install directory.
I've tried it in both the root folder and resources folder but neither work.

Same for me. This feature would be great for my deployment. We are using Rocketchat in an virtualized enviroment and users cannot update the client on their own.

Thanks for the feedback, it should be an easy fix since we already do that for the servers.json file so if anyone wants to give it a try, PRs welcome.

Can this also be made to work for MacOS? Using #523, #449, #603, and #822 as rough guides, and my own installation, I placed { "autoUpdate": false } in an update-info.json file at ~/Library/Application Support/Rocket.Chat/__update__/update-info.json but was still greeted with an update dialog on first open (to 2.17.0 which does not open on MacOS currently.)

edit:
Looking closer, maybe this needs to just be update.json in the root of ~/Library/Application Support/Rocket.Chat/ ?

edit 2:

That did the trick!

Happy to open another Issue if it's better!

Please test if the problem persists with our latest release. I will be closing the issue but if there is any problem yet, we will open it again.
