[bug] install via shell/go throws errors

[juev]

@jordevorstenbosch please provide information about your operation system and ARCH?

[kevincobain2000]

Thanks @juev for the spot on ask there.

It seems like @jordevorstenbosch has an incorrect binary of gobrew, probably an OS or arch that we don't support yet

operation system and ARCH?

echo $(uname -s)
echo $(uname -m)

Would you please give the output of this?

[jordevorstenbosch]

I'm running MacOS.

So
Darwin
x86_64

[kevincobain2000]

Weird, I have the same and all good on my machine

[jordevorstenbosch]

I have Go installed via homebrew, not sure if that matters for the Go install. Granted that doesn't explain the issue with the shell install.

Piped the script into bash and that did work. ( | bash - instead of | sh -)

Just checked with zsh, that also works. It seems to just be an issue with sh.

[kevincobain2000]

Thanks for more info, it'd be helpful to debug if something is wrong with the | sh -. I'll try and find out the root cause.
Glad that it worked with | bash - tho

Difference on my system between sh and bash:

sh --version
GNU bash, version 3.2.57(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin21)

bash --version
GNU bash, version 5.1.16(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin21.1.0)

If you need me to check something specific just let me know.

Also not entirely sure on what the - is supposed to do? Only thing I can find about that is 'treat as standard input/output'. But it seems to make no difference for bash/zsh.

Just checked with a colleague who doesn't have a newer version of bash installed separately. (Just the MacOS included one)

He gets the same script errors as I do. And interestingly enough doesn't get the error when piping it to bash - instead of sh -.

[kevincobain2000]

Thanks for the details.

2 things here:

First:
If bash - is working well for you then I should replace it in the README since that is more robust.

Second:

The other way of course to install and debug will be like the following:

curl -L https://git.io/gobrew > gobrew.sh; chmod +x gobrew.sh
./gobrew.sh

Doing this way we can find out if it is the curl & sh - issue, or and issue with gobrew.sh

[jordevorstenbosch]

Just using curl -L https://git.io/gobrew | sh already works fine.

curl -L https://git.io/gobrew > gobrew.sh; chmod +x gobrew.sh ./gobrew.sh works fine as well.

[kevincobain2000]

I have removed the troubling - of sh -
#55

I am sorry I couldn't tell the root cause of why it has happened.
