`fisher update` returns conflicting files errors and removes `fish_plugins` file

[jimblue]

Hello,

I'm having some issues with fisher update command, when I run it I get the following errors :

fisher update

It's also removing my symlinked fish_plugins file, so if I run fisher update again it I get the following error :

fisher: "/Users/jimblue/.config/fish/fish_plugins" file not found: "update"

I usually run fisher update from a fish alias to update everything on my mac :

alias update 'brew update; brew upgrade; brew cleanup; brew doctor; npm install npm -g && npm update -g; composer global update; fisher update; z --clean'

But the problem is the same if a run fisher update directly too.

Hope this give enough information ? 😃

It's also worth mentioning that fisher list doesn't seem to work even if a fish_plugins file exist :

Fisher's state seems to be broken (not sure, but this could happen if you tamper with $fisher_ universal variables or upgrade from Fisher 3 incorrectly) and the easiest way to go back to normal is to reinstall everything.

So, try removing all plugins, including Fisher, and reinstalling everything.

Ok just understood, I was using the installation snippet from the doc which was erasing overwriting my fish_plugins.

I've change the fisher install for fisher update like bellow and now everything working !

if status is-interactive && ! functions -q fisher
  curl -sL https://git.io/fisher | source && fisher update
end

Thank you for your help 😄
