scoop install creates an oh-my-posh-wsl.ps1 which is not useful in WSL

Prerequisites

• [x] I have read and understand the CONTRIBUTING guide
• [x] I looked for duplicate issues before submitting this one

Description

seems scoop does not provide a proper shim I suspect it wants .exe in the bin section to create application shim rather than a ps1 shim. I slightly remember something about being able to configuring bin for scoop.

Environment

• Oh my Posh version: 3.96.0
• Theme: custom theme based on JanDeDobbeleer (will add it to my dotfiles later)
• Operating System: Windows 10/Ubuntu 2004 (WSL)
• Shell: zsh/pwsh
• Terminal: Windows Terminal

Steps to Reproduce

scoop install https://github.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh/releases/latest/download/oh-my-posh.json

Wait, you're telling me it installs the unix binary as oh-my-posh-wsl.ps1?

[jetersen]

nah it creates a .ps1 file with the following content:

if (!(Test-Path Variable:PSScriptRoot)) { $PSScriptRoot = Split-Path $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path -Parent }
$path = join-path "$psscriptroot" "..\apps\oh-my-posh\current\oh-my-posh-wsl"
if($myinvocation.expectingInput) { $input | & $path  @args } else { & $path  @args }

ll

    Directory:  C:\Users\joseph\scoop\shims

@jetersen seems to work now (at least adding to PATH)

[jetersen]

🚀 Thanks for the quick fix once again!

Hm, I had oh-my-posh3 installed via scoop from the default main bucket and it had been working fine until this change. Now it fails to update. I guess that is an issue for that repo, however.

I filed https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main/issues/1866 since I assume other folks like myself might find oh-my-posh via that default bucket.

This update breaks my installation, since the oh-my-posh.exe can't be found anymore. The executable isn't copied to Scoop's shims directory anymore, and the update doesn't add this repo's bin folder to my path either. Fixing it is easy enough (just add it to the path manually), but I imagine this not being desired behavior?

[jetersen]

scoop should add it to your path. Try uninstalling and reinstalling with scoop.

[Lucky-Loek]

I know, but it doesn't on my machine 😜 Reinstalling does not work either. I'll add it manually and see what happens with the next update. If that still breaks, I'll create a new issue and dive in a bit deeper.

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@Lucky-Loek it did add it to my PATH when testing. Had to reboot though for it to show up.

[Lucky-Loek]

Oooh ofc, that makes sense. It's still Windows so PATH changes need a reboot.. Thanks for the quick reply! (and the awesome tool!)

[glucas]

FWIW installing via the scoop main bucket worked find for me once the issue I mentioned above was resolved. That bucket's manifest still creates shims and did not require rebooting.

[jetersen]

shims are undesirable for the oh-my-posh-wsl binary which is also not covered by the manifest in the main bucket... 😉
