Installing a version of node (specifically 10.23.2) has the following problems:

  • OS detection doesn't work.
    This is because nvm.fish line 42 uses string lower, but line 52 compares to uppercase strings.
  • Solving the above, curl (line 81) fails with curl: (23) Failure writing output to destination
    I worked around that by having curl save to a temp file, and then tar read from that file.
  • Working around the above, the tar part of installing (line 82) fails for some reason I couldn't determine.
    It works if I separate it into two commands instead of using && or ; and in lines 81-82.
  • Working around the above, _nvm_node_info fails because apparently npm is directly inside version/bin instead of node_modules/npm, so package.json isn't in the same directory.

Using it on Windows 10 with MSYS2.
curl version: 7.74.0 (x86_64-pc-msys)
tar version: bsdtar 3.3.2 - libarchive 3.3.2 zlib/1.2.5.f-ipp

I decided against making a pull request since I only have workarounds for the above and I can't be sure it would work in general, but I can hope this information helps you figure out the problems.

@tasop-rsconnect I had the same issues you describe, so i made a fork with patches for msys2/mingw here, maybe this can help.

@jorgebucaran If this is a good solution i'm happy to make a PR.

@jorgebucaran
I've created a new pull request to fix this, it uses either unzip or bsdtar (included in MSYS2).
#192

I created one, too - before I realized there was already a PR open for it. #234
