Auto-Update?

[Woolersuk]

Hi @JamesWoolfenden

I noted you've been releasing a lot lately, so I wondered if it might be an idea to have an update option in pike where you can update to the latest release using the tool?

For Windows/Linux I wrote a couple of scripts that I've scheduled to check daily & pull the latest version, but might be an idea?

Scripts for info, or if you can't be bothered to do an auto-updater, maybe you could include these somewhere if someone else might want to use? (I'm don't have a Mac so can't write something for that).

Windows/Powershell: (uncommenting the last line if you want options to be different)

function GetLatestPike {
  param (
    [parameter(Mandatory = $false)]$Match = "windows_amd64",
    [parameter(Mandatory = $false)]$Root = "$env:userprofile\Downloads",
    [parameter(Mandatory = $false)]$Target = "C:\Windows"
  )
  $ProgressPreference = "SilentlyContinue"
  [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
  
  $GithubUrl = "https://api.github.com/repos/JamesWoolfenden/pike/releases/latest"
  $Response = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $GithubUrl -MaximumRedirection 0 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
  $LatestRelease = $Response.Content | ConvertFrom-Json
  $LatestUrl = $LatestRelease.assets | Where-Object { $_.browser_download_url -like "*$Match*" }
  $LatestName = $LatestUrl.name
  $zipDownloadUrl = $LatestUrl.browser_download_url
  
  $DLFol = Join-Path -Path $Root -ChildPath $LatestName.Replace(".zip", "")
  
  if (-not (Test-Path -Path $DLFol -PathType Container)) {
    New-Item -Path $DLFol -ItemType Directory | out-null
    Write-Host "Folder: $DLFol created.." -Fore Cyan
  } else { 
    Write-Host "The latest version is already present...  exiting.." -Fore Yellow
    break
  }
  
  $zipFilePath = Join-Path -Path $DLFol -ChildPath $LatestName
  Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $zipDownloadUrl -OutFile $zipFilePath
  Expand-Archive -Path $zipFilePath -DestinationPath $DLFol -Force
  Remove-Item -Path $zipFilePath
  Copy-Item -Path "$DLFol\pike.exe" -Destination "$Target\pike.exe" -Force
  
  Write-Host "Latest pike installed from $DLFol.." -Fore Green
}

GetLatestPike #-Match windows_amd64 -Root C:\tmp -Target c:\Windows

Linux/Bash: (uncommenting the last line if you want options to be different)

#!/bin/bash

get_latest_pike() {
    local Match="${1:-linux_amd64}"
    local Root="${2:-/home/alex/Downloads}"
    local Target="${3:-/usr/local/bin}"

    local GithubUrl="https://api.github.com/repos/JamesWoolfenden/pike/releases/latest"
    local LatestRelease
    LatestRelease=$(curl -s "$GithubUrl")

    local LatestUrl
    LatestUrl=$(echo "$LatestRelease" | jq -r '.assets[] | select(.browser_download_url | contains("'"$Match"'")) | .browser_download_url')

    if [ -z "$LatestUrl" ]; then
        echo "No matching asset found for $Match"
        exit 1
    fi

    local LatestName
    LatestName=$(basename "$LatestUrl")
    local ext=".tar.gz"
    local zipDownloadUrl="$LatestUrl"
    local DLFol="$Root/${LatestName%$ext}"

    if [ ! -d "$DLFol" ]; then
        mkdir -p "$DLFol"
        echo "Folder: $DLFol created.."
    else
        echo "The latest version is already present... exiting.."
        exit 0
    fi

    local zipFilePath="$DLFol/$LatestName"
    curl -L -o "$zipFilePath" "$zipDownloadUrl"
    tar -xzf "$zipFilePath" -C "$DLFol"
    rm -f "$zipFilePath"
    cp "$DLFol/pike" "$Target/pike"
    echo "Latest pike installed from $DLFol.."
}

get_latest_pike #"other_match" "/path/to/root" "/path/to/target"

Cheers

id prefer a go based solution? pike is supported in both brew and scoop so updating should be pretty easy?

I'll leave that with you :)
