Additional context/output

I'm a scoop noob and dislike powershell so I probably don't know what I'm doing. However, one would imagine printing the version number to stdout would "just work"

Possible Solution

Scoop probably outputs the version info in a weird way, and just doing it the same way as the "b8858b841 twitchdownloader: Update to version 1.53.9 e0d4894cc ugrep: Update to version 4.5.1" would work

Or, it's outputting too much info and we just need a version number but we're getting a ton of output and it confuses PowerShell.

System details

Windows version: 11

OS architecture: 64bit

PowerShell version: [output of "$($PSVersionTable.PSVersion)"]

Here's a workaround:

function Get-ScoopVersion {
    Log "Getting Scoop Version"
    # Define the path to Scoop's CHANGELOG.md
    $changelogPath = "C:\Users\$env:USERNAME\scoop\apps\scoop\current\CHANGELOG.md"

    # Read the version from CHANGELOG.md
    if (Test-Path -Path $changelogPath) {
        $pattern = '^## \[(?<version>v[\d.]+)\]'
        $content = Get-Content $changelogPath -Raw
        $match = [Regex]::Match($content, $pattern)

        if ($match.Success) {
            $version = $match.Groups["version"].Value
            Log "Scoop version: $version"
            return $version
        } else {
            Log "Scoop version not found in CHANGELOG"
        }
    } else {
        Log "CHANGELOG.md not found at $changelogPath"
    }
    return "Unknown"
}

PowerShell has a different concept of streams. It has multiple output streams, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_output_streams?view=powershell-7.4.

The Scoop version output in scoop -v command gets written to the Information stream. To capture it, you can do:

ScoopInstaller / Scoop
