Scoop list is empty?

[maphew]

Something seems to have gone wrong with my scoop install configuration. Why would scoop list be empty?

Scoop checkup issued 2 warnings about possibly needing to install Inno Setup and Dark. I don't believe these would be involved so set that aside until later. A scoop update followed by scoop list a 2nd time fixed the empty list.

The number of failed install reports puzzles me. Those apps do seem to be installed and available, for example:

# where komorebi
C:\Users\mhwilkie\scoop\shims\komorebi.exe

For update there's an error about not being able to merge changes for extras bucket.. What's the fix for that?

# scoop update

Can you try removing and adding extras bucket again?

[maphew]

that worked, thanks. Such an obvious troubleshooting step, I should have thought of that!

Indidentally, for better UX remove should probably be added as an alias to rm, e.g. scoop bucket remove extras as it's the most obvious opposite to scoop bucket add ...

rm is there for historical purposes. It will need to be changed/aliased across the entire codebase. Also, rm is shorter to type 😅
