Strange error on update

[make-github-pseudonymous-again]

I get the following (or similar) No matches for wildcard ... error at random (yes, at random) when updating:

My workaround so far is to run the update again until it succeeds without hiccups:

Hey, @aureooms. I think you're using an old version of Fisher. Upgrade everything using fisher update.

Also, what plugins are you trying to install? I think there may be one or two that we don't support like plugin-fasd or plugin-sudope. Fortunately, there's a PR to add Fisher support to one of those here: oh-my-fish/plugin-sudope#16.

[make-github-pseudonymous-again]

Hi @jorgebucaran. The output above is the one I get when I run fisher update. I am running Fisher version 4.1.0 (installed via the fisher AUR package).

The plugins I use are

oh-my-fish/plugin-sudope
oh-my-fish/plugin-fasd
wfxr/forgit

[jorgebucaran]

I know you're using and older Fisher because that output doesn't match the latest Fisher.

Upgrade to the latest Fisher and the problem should go away.

Note: I only officially support the installation method described in the README. I don't know how the AUR package works.

[jorgebucaran]

About the plugins:

• Please use @ngmoviedo's Sudope fork until the maintainer decides to merge his PR.
• oh-my-fish/plugin-fasd uses an init.fish file. We no longer support init.fish files.
  • The TLDR is that Oh My Fish and their plugin ecosystem are essentially abandoned and they never caught up with modern Fish. I recommend not using Oh My Fish plugins. Consider making your own (it's not so hard) or create a plugin request here and someone will probably build it.
• wfxr/forgit seems alright 👍, but the author doesn't know idiomatic Fish, e.g., they put everything inside one big configuration snippet, instead of using functions to leverage Fish functions autoloading.

Hey, @Scrumplex. Maybe you could shed some light here as the maintainer of the AUR package?

[Scrumplex]

Hi there. The AUR package uses the latest Git tag (in this case 4.1.0). I am sure that updating fisher itself via fisher install jorgebucaran/fisher would use the latest git commit instead. That might be why @aureooms might be using an older version.

In fact when using fisher-git from the AUR (which builds from the latest commit) the output matches the newest version. I would suggest that you just create a new release for fisher, so I can package that one in the AUR.

[jorgebucaran]

@Scrumplex Thanks for the clarification. I'll do that later today. 👍

[make-github-pseudonymous-again]

Thanks for the help @jorgebucaran and @Scrumplex. I will look into forking the plugins or contributing to them.

[jorgebucaran]

That's awesome @aureooms, let me know if you need help with anything. If you need me, you can find me here.
