`eget errata-ai/vale --asset 64-bit.tar` says `open vale: is a directory`

[dflock]

When I run eget errata-ai/vale --asset 64-bit.tar I get this:

➜ `eget errata-ai/vale --asset 64-bit.tar`
https://github.com/errata-ai/vale/releases/download/v2.22.0/vale_2.22.0_Linux_64-bit.tar.gz

However, if I download that file manually and unpack it, I get this:

It looks to me like that tar file contain vale a 15 mb binary. Not sure why eget thinks it's a folder?

What version of eget are you using? I just tried using version 1.3.1 and it worked as expected.

[dflock]

Yeah, latest 1.3.1

[zyedidia]

Is it possible that at the location eget is trying to extract the binary vale to there is already a directory called vale? (Either the current directory or your EGET_PATH if it is set)

[dflock]

If I run this from my home directory, there is a value folder there already and it fails - if I run it somewhere else where there isn't, it works. However - this is what my config looks like:

➜ cat ~/.config/eget/eget.toml 

[global]
target = "~/bin"
upgrade_only = true

So, running it from my home directory fails because there's already a vale folder there - even through it's supposed to be putting the download into "~/bin"?

If I run this from my home directory (where there's already a vale folder) eget errata-ai/vale --asset 64-bit.tar --to ~/bin it works as expected and happily puts vale into ~/bin.

So, it looks like my config file isn't working, for some reason? (I didn't notice this initially because I happened to be running eget from ~/bin).

Ah, putting the eget configuration in ~/.config/eget/eget.toml (on the XDG path) is a feature that has been added since v1.3.1. For version 1.3.1 you should use ~/.eget.toml. I will release a new version shortly.
