Support path 'asset_name/bin/<exe_name>' inside assets

[chshersh]

This is needed for some tools. Example:

• https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/tag/v2.14.7

All the search paths are specified here:

https://github.com/chshersh/tool-sync/blob/cb339b09238964e8dc2d1a72389b6624c5bb7599/src/sync/archive.rs#L144-L153

To fix this problem:

• [ ] Add one more path search entry
• [ ] Add tests for gh

[hgrahamcs]

Where are the current paths tested?

[chshersh]

@hgrahamcs Hmm, good question 🤔

There're no tests for checking this function specifically. This issue came up when I tried downloading the GitHub CLI tool using tool-sync. So, the test would be:

• [x] Add gh to the hardcoded database:

https://github.com/chshersh/tool-sync/blob/eeed4bb786e5c95e45c41369f8d3d2a7c809200c/src/sync/db.rs#L5

• [x] Add gh to the full-database.toml test

https://github.com/chshersh/tool-sync/blob/eeed4bb786e5c95e45c41369f8d3d2a7c809200c/tests/full-database.toml#L4-L10

• [x] Add tests on the CI

• https://github.com/chshersh/tool-sync/blob/eeed4bb786e5c95e45c41369f8d3d2a7c809200c/.github/workflows/ci.yml#L77-L82

• https://github.com/chshersh/tool-sync/blob/eeed4bb786e5c95e45c41369f8d3d2a7c809200c/.github/workflows/ci.yml#L98-L112

Adding gh to the database is something I wanted to do anyway as it's a quite popular tool so makes sense to add it 👍🏻

[MitchellBerend]

@hgrahamcs Are you still working on this?

[MitchellBerend]

@chshersh are the tasks in this issue still current or do I need to revise this fully?

[chshersh]

@MitchellBerend The tasks in the issue description and my previous comment are still current 👍🏻

Feel free to take this issue. I'd like to release tool-sync v0.2.0 this week and there're only a few issues left in the v0.2.0 milestone.

[MitchellBerend]

@chshersh What is actually required here? Simply adding this path does not work, it tries to download the .deb blob. There might be a bug in the prefetch function. I'm not sure why it chooses this .deb file. Maybe because its the first hit in the list? Do you have some insight here?

@MitchellBerend Unfortunately, gh has several assets matching the string linux_amd64:

• gh_2.14.7_linux_amd64.deb
• gh_2.14.7_linux_amd64.rpm
• gh_2.14.7_linux_amd64.tar.gz

So it's not enough to specify only this string. Try the following instead:

asset_name.linux = "linux_amd64.tar.gz"

The error message [error] Unsupported asset type: gh_2.14.7_linux_amd64.deb is probably not clear as well so it could be improved, I guess. It means that tool-sync supports files only with the .zip, .tar.gz and .exe extensions and not .deb.

---

The logic for finding the asset is here:

https://github.com/chshersh/tool-sync/blob/7700be2c33ca6619457b8dc90e9be5dc8d528ad3/src/model/tool.rs#L79-L84

So yes, it does find the first matching asset. It should be improved to find all and report an error early when several assets match the query string (or be smarter and actually select the one that matches). The only difficulty here is that in this mode all errors should be single-line to be present at the same line as the tool name. But proper error-reporting would require spanning an error message on multiple lines. So error-reporting improvement needs some thinking.

[MitchellBerend]

Okay I added the new path option but I also want to expand the scope of this issue to include that error message.
