Prerequisites

  • I have written a descriptive issue title.
  • I have searched all issues/PRs to ensure it has not already been reported or fixed.
  • I have verified that I am using the latest version of Scoop and corresponding bucket.

Package Name

autohotkey

Expected/Current Behaviour

When installing autohotkey, v2.0.19 is currently supposed to be installed. However, according to the date of the executable, the executable's meta data, and the autohotkey help file, v2.0.18 is actually being installed.

Furthermore, the file structure Scoop is creating is quite odd. It creates a folder named v2.0.18 within the a folder named v2.0.19.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling autohotkey multiple times (via Scoop), and the result was always the same.

Steps to Reproduce

scoop install autohotkey

Possible Solution

I haven't had time to look into a fix. Either upstream didn't update their file timestamps and metadata, or something Scoop is doing for autohotkey is borked. I'm guessing it's the latter because all the info matches what one would expect for v2.0.18 instead of v2.0.19.

Sorry, I haven't had time to look into things further.

@HUMORCE Thank you for checking on this. The results I experience are different. I uninstalled and reinstalled AHK (via Scoop) multiple times, just to be sure, and the result was the same each time. I also verified the autohotkey folder in Scoop's apps folder got completely deleted after each uninstall.

Here is the list of files the scoop install autohotkey creates (current is, of course, a symlink). As you can see, it creates a 2.0.18 within 2.0.19, but all executables (even within 2.0.19) are v2.0.18:

Looks like something went wrong with the install script?

Try a fresh install, ! this will remove persisted data of autohotkey:

scoop uninstall autohotkey -p
scoop install autohotkey

scoop install autohotkey

That fixed it. Thank you!

Now let's take a quick moment to look to see if there is anything to improve:

  1. I previously tried the above two commands, minus the -p switch, several times. No errors were presented. Should some errors have been presented?
  2. Given that the -p switch for the uninstall command seems to have resolved the issue, there's strong reason to believe that persisted data was causing an issue, as you suspected. What type of persisted data are we talking about, and where is it stored? I don't see a ..\scoop\persist\autohotkey folder, so it must be stored elsewhere.
  3. Anything you can think of to help prevent this from happening to others, as well as during future updates to autohotkey via Scoop?

I can confirm that it could work well at latest in Jun, 2024. Persistence is primarily keeping installed versions(see notes of the manifest)

Even now, as I install/update between multiple versions, I can't reproduce the problem you report.

and where is it stored? I don't see a ..\scoop\persist\autohotkey folder, so it must be stored elsewhere.

It created while updating/uninstalling:

Extras/bucket/autohotkey.json

Lines 54 to 57 in 3ecdbe8

"pre_uninstall": [
"# Persistence",
"ensure \"$persist_dir\" | Out-Null",
"ensure \"$persist_dir\\installed-files\" | Out-Null",

Hmmm... I'll keep an eye on it as future versions of autohotkey are released.

Thank you for checking and performing that testing.

  1. Where is $persist_dir pointing there? Is it somewhere besides ..\scoop\persist\autohotkey?

  2. What specifically took place when I issued scoop uninstall autohotkey -p that differed from scoop uninstall autohotkey? Adding the -p switch did fix it, but I thought adding -p just removed ..\scoop\persist\autohotkey, which didn't exist.

-p, --purge Remove all persistent data
