Linux install fails

[spencergilbert]

Looking at the code it looks like "amd64" is appended to all os names to build the download URL, but the releases for linux are simply named "jq-linux64" (for current release, older releases have a different naming scheme as well)

[yssource]

https://github.com/stedolan/jq/releases/download/jq-1.6/jq-linux-amd64

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found
Error: jq version jq-1.6 not found

It also seems, as far as i can tell, that the naming conventions of these releases have never quite been consistent, but most importantly I can't find a linux release which uses the amd64 suffix, which means it has always been broken for linux.

Because of the inconsistencies in naming conventions we need a very much more smart way to pick between the various releases.

What's more is 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2 just provide the source, while the plugin still lists them as installable releases, which means the plugin has been broken for all of those releases, always.

Edit: Oh God I've just realized, to do any sort of smarter version selection, we'd need to parse Github's JSON api... Ironic.

Edit²: Working on a fix to put in a pull request. Should be ready tomorrow hopefully maybe.

Also, how did the Ubuntu test not catch anything?

Any progress on merging?

To use the fixed version while this issue is resolved run:

asdf plugin add jq https://github.com/AZMCode/asdf-jq.git
asdf plugin update jq patch-1

[RafalSkolasinski]

Is this by any chance related to asdf-vm/asdf#756?
Trying to install jq with asdf (on linux) keeps giving:

rskolasinski@machine42:~$ asdf install jq latest
jq  is already installed

I'll try to filter out the jq part of the release names

[AZMCode]

Just updated my PR to filter out jq- from the beginning of the release names

@RafalSkolasinski
It kind of isn't, but is another whole bug into itself

[AZMCode]

Also, I remember somewhere about an actions bug referring to ;; in a switch statement in a bash script in Mac os, but I can't find it.
It's affecting my PR.
Appreciate if any of y'all know

@AZMCode this commit in another fork fixed my issues on mac, tayler-jones@afb0be6 maybe you can see if something in there will help

[AZMCode]

Sure, thanks!
