Mendeley Reference Manager download recipe failing

[eddiekelley]

We're seeing an error with the Mendeley Reference Manager for Desktop download recipe, and it seems to be an issue with the regex that's being used to search for the version.

Maybe this is an issue with the triple-digit-decimal in v.2.100.0 not matching the regex specified on line 37 of that recipe (is it searching for a decimal of length 2 in the minor version?):

<string>(?P&lt;Version&gt;\d\.\d{2}\.\d\.dmg)</string>

It's indeed where the problem arrises. I've created a pull request to fix it, but you can easily fix it yourself, either by changing it to 3 digits or, as I proposed in my PR, changing it to accept 1-3 digits: <string>(?P&lt;Version&gt;\d\.\d{1,3}\.\d\.dmg)</string>

We've been running a temporary copy of your fix for this issue, @Steffan-Ravn, but it's failed again today.

I've got it working with a couple of changes

• Updated regex (([A-Za-z0-9]+(\.[A-Za-z0-9]+)+)-x64\.dmg) - this should capture any version number Mendeley change to.

  <key>re_pattern</key>
  <string>(([A-Za-z0-9]+(\.[A-Za-z0-9]+)+)-x64\.dmg)</string>

• change from %version% to %match% on the download URL.

  <key>url</key>
  <string>%DOWNLOAD_PART_URL%-%match%</string>

Not sure if you want to amend your PR, or I can knock up a new one?

Do you have a preference, @joshua-d-miller?
