XF 2.2 What am I doing wrong with addon IDs?

[Fullmental]

So, according to the XF documentation, it has this to say about version IDs:



Based on this aabbccde format, I tried bumping the version of an addon I made from 1.1.3 BETA and I wanted to make it 1.2.0 Beta 1. In order to do this, from what I understand I'm supposed to do a version Id of 1002031, but when I do that for some reason it converts it to "1.0.20 Beta 1" instead. I'm positive I got the positioning right here. Why does it move the 2 to the 3rd set of numbers when it's clearly the last digit in the "bb" representation?

...And I accidentally bumped it to version 10 while trying to figure out how to roll it back. How exactly do I roll back the version now? it keeps complaining I can't downgrade versions but all I did was make a typo. I didn't even build out the release yet. This is so dumb, I swear before it prompted me for a version string instead of automatically creating one.

XF 2.0 Thread 'How can we lower the version number of an add-on?'

Dec 11, 2017

When developing an add-on I sometimes use others to help test it. So I will "bump" the version number as changes are made. Then once the add-on is done testing I would like to increment to the next public version number (another words lower the version number). Is there a way I can lower the version number?

Sure would be nice if the following command allowed lowering the version number:

php cmd.php xf-addon:bump-version

That does it, thanks! Now to figure out what I'm doing wrong on the numbers themselves. I think I'm missing the leading 0 which got me confused.
