update unversioned binaries

[sigmaSd]

I think a cool feature would be to update unversioned binaries to their latest version

I have stuff like

       │ File: /home/mrcool/.deno/bin/deno_bindgen
───────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
   1   │ #!/bin/sh
   2   │ # generated by deno install
   3   │ exec deno run --allow-all --quiet --no-config 'https://deno.land/x/deno_bindgen/cli.ts' "$@"
───────┴─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

with this feature I expect an update form unversioned to x.x.x (whatver the latest is)

This will make suddenly most of my binaries compatible with nublar with no effort of my part as the user

I have this done locally but it requires changes to deno-udd (to handle unspecified version)

• I can try to contribute this to upstream, but I'm not optimistic, udd didn't receive new features in a while now
• Can we get away with not using udd, and just making our own custom regex replacer, that just search for deno.land urls, can scripts installed under deno/bin even have any other url ?

[sigmaSd]

Here is how it looks btw

It would be good if you could enable this feature with an option flag.

We might migrate to https://github.com/deaddeno/update or find a way to use https://github.com/hasundue/deno-molt ?

I feel like molt doesn't really fit, since the whole keypoint which is deno graph doesn't work here, unless maybe you expose some useful utilities

Does this really need a dependency can't we just regex search and replace deno urls ?

True. Just using regex is probably fine, since we do not really need variety of registries anymore after npm: specifier was introduced.

I'm using this script for now

import homeDir from "https://deno.land/x/dir@1.5.1/home_dir/mod.ts";
import * as stdPath from "https://deno.land/std@0.204.0/path/mod.ts";
import * as infer from "npm:deno-infer@1.0.8";

function* getPrograms() {
  const homeDirPath = homeDir();
  if (!homeDirPath) throw "home dir not found";
  const programsDir = Deno.readDirSync(
    stdPath.join(homeDirPath, ".deno", "bin"),
  );
  for (const entry of programsDir) {
    if (!entry.isFile) continue;
    const path = stdPath.join(homeDirPath, ".deno", "bin", entry.name);
    //FIXME: windows have a different extension
    if (infer.getFromPath(path)?.extension() !== "sh") continue;
    yield {
      name: entry.name,
      path,
    };
  }
}

async function update(text: string) {
  let newText = text;
  for (
    const match of text.matchAll(
      /https:\/\/deno.land\/x\/([^@/]+)(@[^/]+)*\//g,
    )
  ) {
    let [_url, name, version] = match;
    // remove the @
    if (version) version = version.slice(1);
    const latestVersion: string | undefined = await fetch(
      `https://cdn.deno.land/${name}/meta/versions.json`,
    ).then((r) => r.json()).then((r) => r.latest);

    if (latestVersion === undefined) {
      console.error(
        "Could not determine package latest version, name: " + name,
      );
      return;
    }

    if (version !== latestVersion) {
      console.log(
        `${name} version: '${version}' remote-version: '${latestVersion}'`,
      );
      const oldUrl = version
        ? `https://deno.land/x/${name}@${version}/`
        : `https://deno.land/x/${name}/`;
      newText = newText.replace(
        oldUrl,
        `https://deno.land/x/${name}@${latestVersion}/`,
      );
    }
  }
  if (newText === text) return;
  return newText;
}

if (import.meta.main) {
  for (const program of getPrograms()) {
    const text = Deno.readTextFileSync(program.path);
    const newText = await update(text);
    if (newText !== undefined) {
      if (confirm(`Update ${program.name} ?`)) {
        Deno.writeTextFileSync(program.path, newText);
      }
    }
  }
}

Thanks. Looks good, very clean. Can I integrate your implementation into nublar, or should I ask you to create a PR with your authority?

[hasundue]

Ah maybe I can just use a routine in molt with a little work. Let me try.

[sigmaSd]

It's cool there is nothing to copyright there, Iits better if nublar gets more features

[hasundue]

Now fixing molt for this https://github.com/hasundue/molt/pull/63

[hasundue]

Done but not tested extensively. Bug reports would be very helpful.

thanks awesome
