Hi @anuranjit. I think you're right that we don't remove aliases on uninstall on macOS. That's something to fix indeed.
However, I don't understand what you mean by:
The multipass alias command still shows aliases .
If you uninstalled, the multipass command should not be available at all. Unless you reinstalled?
@ricab If run the command as below it still shows aliases
➜ ~ multipass aliases
Alias Instance Command Context Working directory
docker docker-dev docker docker-dev map
docker-compose docker-dev docker-compose docker-dev map
and when i try to unalias it says alias not found
➜ ~ multipass unalias docker
Nonexistent alias: docker.
➜ ~
Hmm I see. Do you have a Multipass folder in "~/Library/Application Support/"
? And do you have a bin
directory inside? If so, what are its contents?
@ricab
➜ ~ cd /Library/Application\ Support
➜ Application Support ls
App Store Logitech.localized com.apple.TVIdleScreen

➜ com.canonical.multipass ls

➜ com.canonical.multipass cd bin
➜ bin ls

➜ bin
Hi @anuranjit, thanks but I meant in your home: "~/Library/Application Support/"
(note the tilde at the beginning). But anyway, I believe we have enough to address this.
@ricab Any timeline for fix or any solution ?
I am afraid not @anuranjit. We are very busy with many things and I don't think this would be a very high priority. We'll try to do it, perhaps for one release after the one we are about to publish, but I can't make any promises.
That said, you should be able to remove your aliases manually. But I would need the contents of the folder I pointed to above to help you do that.

Thank you @anuranjit, it is those docker*
executables that are leftover and you can manually remove.
@ricab After doing that also
➜ bin ls
➜ bin multipass aliases
Alias Instance Command Context Working directory
docker docker-dev docker docker-dev map
docker-compose docker-dev docker-compose docker-dev map
➜ bin multipass aliases
Hmm, there is more to it then... Do you see a ~/Library/Preferences/multipass/multipass_aliases.json
or similar? Anything relating to Multipass under ~/Library/Preferences
?
Describe the bug Local multipass got courrupted and the file system became read only. Post this removed all aliases and images and uninstalled multipass pass using "/Library/Application Support/com.canonical.multipass/uninstall.sh" and reinstalled multipass . The multipass alias command still shows aliases .
Expected behavior What did you expect to happen? There should not be any aliases post uninstall Logs multipassd.log
