DevToys: Using Pre-release

[g3rhard]

Hello,

Would like to discuss about this update, as from one hand - it's pre-release, but from other hand - it's offering on official website:

• https://devtoys.app/

Current state:

 Workspaces  Get-EvergreenApp -Name "DevToys" | Where-Object { $_.Architecture -eq "x64" -and $_.Type -eq "exe" -and $_.Platform -eq "Windows" }

Version       : 2.0.1.0
Platform      : Windows
Architecture  : x64
Type          : exe
InstallerType : Default
Date          : 08/06/2024
Size          : 58292689
URI           : https://github.com/DevToys-app/DevToys/releases/download/v2.0.1.0/devtoys_win_x64.exe

Small changes to get the proper link to installer (thanks, that we can avoid *.msixbundle in this app). If you are not agree, I can create separate package for it - but I need to know, how to properly name it.

Best, Kirill

If you put the Update.Uri value back to https://api.github.com/repos/DevToys-app/DevToys/releases/latest, and keep the MatchFileTypes value as \\.exe$|\\.zip$|\\.msixbundle$, then the new installers will be picked up when v2 becomes the current release (i.e. taken out of beta)

Hey, thanks for the reply.

Totally agree, but I'd like to use version 2 as it has a proper installer, although it's still in "beta" phase. If you have concerns about this, I can make another version of this package and call it "DevToysBeta".

Thanks in advance for your help.

I don't want to make it a new app because it would then need to be removed or modified once 2.0 is released.

I can make an update to the module to allow you to run this:

Get-EvergreenApp -Name GitHubRelease -AppParams @{Uri="https://api.github.com/repos/DevToys-app/DevToys/releases"}

This app only allows this query at the moment, so it will require a small update:

Get-EvergreenApp -Name GitHubRelease -AppParams @{Uri="https://api.github.com/repos/DevToys-app/DevToys/releases/latest"}

Fully understand, and I can say, that this approach looks better than mine, I'm fine with using -AppParams in the calls. Could you let me know when I can expect to see this solution? Thanks so much!

I'll release a new version over the weekend.

Changes regarding Update.Uri was reverted, all other changes left untouched.
