Hey,
I just updated to the new Local v 2.0.1. Now when updating plugins in the admin area, they fail with a message of “Update Failed: Could not remove the old plugin.”. Seems usually like a permissions issue, but is odd as it’s a local dev environment. I am on macOS Sierra
Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Lee
Same problem here with OSX Sierra.
Same problem here. Also broke Divi theme.
The update fails and removes items from the plugin/theme folder so you need to replace the entire thing again.
When I tried a second time, I updated each plugin individually, which worked.
Then, another batch update failed.
Also on Sierra.
UPDATE - installed 2.02 and, after going through headless-restart bits with VirtualBox, everything seems fine now. Just did plugin update and it worked. Maybe the VirtualBox headless restart is required for everyone, not just those experiencing hanging after update to 2.02?
Intermittently same problem here – local 2.0 on macOS sierra 10.12.5.
Same here, on Mac Sierra, not just with Divi plugins but even CF7 and the like. Is there at least a way to roll back to the previous version until this is fixed? I use it all the time for development work and it’s crushing my workflow 
Having the same problem…I have to remove the plugin folder manually. This seems to be happening on all my existing sites after the update. I’m on MacOS Sierra, 10.12.5, Local version is 2.0.1
Noticed that when I went to remove the plugin folder, a number of the files inside were missing, including the php that makes it recognisable by the admin. Basically, everything except what was inside subfolders had been deleted.
Edit:
This is still happening after the 2.0.2 update.
Edit:
Example:
(updated vs pre-update)
We’re looking into this.
Thanks everyone for the info!
Edit: We haven’t been able to reproduce this on our installations so we’d like to gather some more information.
If anyone is having this problem and wants to help out, please try the following:

These plugins are all deactivated (the ones I don’t use during development get removed), since I use this site to update and create a blueprint for my other sites.
But this is the case for every site I have on Local at the moment.

I’m having the same problem. I took this after re-installing a bunch of plugins. The main plugin directories were left, but essential plugin files were deleted. This has just cost me a lot of time.
Tried but have so far been unable to replicate the problem using local 2.0.2, using both Apache or NGiNX as webserver.
Edit: found a site where a plugins php files were deleted while updating yesterday:

@clay Is switching off “Faster Docker Volumes” the recommended way to get around this bug?
Same problem.
If anyone is having this issue please go to Preferences » Advanced and disable Faster Docker Volumes.
This should resolve the issue at the expense of a speed decrease. We’ll continue to look into why this is happening though.
Hi Clay,
Thanks for giving us updates on this issue 
I do not have that option under Preferences > Advanced, I also noticed I’m on 2.0.1, what is the best way to update? I haven’t received a notification anywhere that I can see. My site that was getting the errors when updating plugins has now white screened and I’m kinda stuck.
@clay In the latest version of Local by Flywheel, I’m not finding an Advanced section under Preferences.
I have an advanced section, but that particular option isn’t available.
Hi all,
That option is available on 2.0.3 and newer for macOS only.
If the issue is happening on Windows please let me know.
Thanks @clay! Disabling Faster Docker Volumes seems to have done the trick, but I sure did like the speed before disabling that. Please let us know as soon as you have a fix, or if you’d like me to be a guinea pig as you work on it.
