on_configuration_changed on mod update

I would like to run code when my mod gets updated, but on_configuration_changed only fires on factorio update or mod add/removal. May you also make it fire on mod update?

Lots of mods use the event to update internal state (eg. stuff on `global`) when they have been updated. It definitely works. Something like this:
Code: Select all
script.on_configuration_changed( function(event)
local changed = event.mod_changes and event.mod_changes["your-mod-name"]
if changed then -- something to do with your mod
if not changed.old_version then
-- your mod was added
elseif not changed.new_version then
-- your mod was removed
else
-- your mod was updated
end
end
end )

Did you get any errors when your script ran? Also, how were you testing that it was working? In that particular event it's usually best to use the global `log()` function to output stuff to game log (as game.players[id].print won't be available) in some cases.
