Installation via asdf failing

[thehenrymcintosh]

Using a Mac M1, Big Sur 11.7.2 with asdf installed via Homebrew.

Trying to install action-validator with asdf install leads to this message:

Downloading [action-validator] from https://github.com/mpalmer/action-validator/releases/download/v0.2.1/action-validator_darwin_amd64
darwin_arm64 to /var/folders/zc/9h_9mmbj6cv0znv9fn_svwy00000gp/T/asdf_XXXXXXXX.zM7psm31/action-validator_0.2.1
curl: (3) URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL

Has anyone encountered this before?

[mpalmer]

It'll almost certainly be related to the recent changes to the asdf plugin for arm64 support. What's weird is that the URL it's printing out is valid, so that error message from curl feels a bit misleading.

The best thing to try is to run the install script by hand, with bash debug tracing turned on. Something like this should do the trick:

ASDF_INSTALL_TYPE=x ASDF_INSTALL_VERSION=0.2.1 ASDF_INSTALL_PATH=/tmp/asdf-tmp /bin/bash -x ~/.asdf/plugins/action-validator/bin/install

(Assuming that your asdf dir is ~/.asdf)

If you can paste the output of that command into this issue, it should tell me enough about what's going on to be able to track down the problem.

Would you mind providing that command again? Not sure if it's just me, but it's blank. Happy to provide the output as I'm hitting the same problem

[mpalmer]

Whups, pasted on the wrong line. I've edited the above comment so that the command actually displays this time. Proofreading ftw... :facepalm:

[justinshaw]

No problem, thanks for updating. Here ya go:

Ooooh, yeah, I see what I did there. Herp-a-derp. I've just pushed a commit that should fix it. Update the asdf plugin (asdf update action-validator) and try again, and if it is, indeed, fixed, let me know and I'll close this off.

[justinshaw]

Nice! Looks like it's good to go, thanks very much :)

Side note, it doesn't recognize the --version flag but that's unrelated to this issue

$ action-validator --version
error: Found argument '--version' which wasn't expected, or isn't valid in this context

        Did you mean '--verbose'?

        If you tried to supply `--version` as a value rather than a flag, use `-- --version`

USAGE:
    action-validator --verbose <path_to_action_yaml>

For more information try --help

[mpalmer]

Thanks for confirming the fix; I'll close off this issue.

I don't think I've ever documented that --version was supposed to work, but it's pretty straightforward to add, so I've done that in git; it'll go into the next minor release (I don't think it's worth a separate release just for that, but open to being persuaded otherwise).

[justinshaw]

Makes sense to me! I tried --version just because it’s in the steps in the README

[mpalmer]

I tried --version just because it’s in the steps in the README

Oh wow, it is too. I've fixed that, because it's not as helpful as calling --help.
