It's worth noting that the javy-cli
NPM package currently assumes there will be a .gz
file available for Windows on the release and uses gunzip to decompress the response body from downloading that file. It's also worth noting that the presence of an .exe
extension in the URL for the Windows asset will also break the NPM package's download logic.
Operating system: Windows Processor architecture: N/A Rust version: N/A Javy version: v1.1.2
Problem
At the moment, the build assets workflow creates a Windows executable but drops the required exe extension and uses gzip instead of zip for compressing the executable. The exe extension is required on Windows for all executable binaries and Windows does not have a built in way to decompress gzip files but does have a built in way to decompress zip files.
Error Message and Context
Technically someone could install gzip and manually rename the executable file to add the exe extension, but we should just produce executables in the correct format.
