Failed zef build

How to reproduce: 1.rakudobrew build moar 2.rakudobrew build zef 3.rakudobrew build moar // After some time to update. 4.After rakudo updating, rakudobrew tries to update zef too. 5.Boom!

It looks like the problem is with already installed instance of zef. If we update zef after moar only if zef is installed, then we need to add --force flag to over-write it.

The bug disappears like this:

1 bin/ script [zef] installed to:

Updating shims
Done, built zef for moar-nom

with --force flag.

I am getting this error. Can you explain with a little more detail how to avoid it?

rakudobrew build moar --force?

thanks,

Derrick

@derrickcope, you should edit rakudobrew script, if you cloned the repo in your home directory with default command(i.e. command that is in the README), the path will be .rakudobrew/bin/rakudobrew. You need to open this file in your favorite editor and search for string sub build_zef. In this subroutine you should change

    run which('perl6', $version) . " -Ilib bin/zef -v install .";

to

    run which('perl6', $version) . " -Ilib bin/zef -v --force install .";

The initial issue is that zef doesn't re-install packages without --force flag.

Ok thank you for that. I will try it. yes, that worked. thanks

If I understand everything correctly, with https://github.com/tadzik/rakudobrew/pull/110 merged this can be closed.
