- Tenchiboo 👎 sdkman update broke on macOS unless you have bash v4 in your path
- ash_2026Тут есть, у кого русский язык родной? предлагаю пообщаться на #java-ru
- Tenchithey switched from using tr to uppercase text to shell-specific variable substitution, conditionally checking for zsh and bash, but assuming bash v4 🫤
- Tenchiнет
- dreamrealYou should have bash v4 anyway!
- DoofusCanadensiseww
- DoofusCanadensistcsh plz
- dreamrealon OSX? fighting words
- DoofusCanadensisksh then?
- * dreamreal rolls eyes
- DoofusCanadensisor would you prefer to go with csh/sh?
- dreamrealzsh. I've tried nushell and fish, but eh, zsh is still the king
- DoofusCanadensismacOS has bash v3 installed
- dreamrealall the others are affectations so nerds can feel like they're living on hard mode
- DoofusCanadensisso you have to do extra work to support sdkman
- dreamrealyeah, well, brew install bash is definitely a lot of keys to type!
- DoofusCanadensisand if you're using brew... why not brew install javaversion?
- dreamrealI don't know why sdkman would assume that people willing to use sdkman might NOT be willing to use brew or an equivalent
- dreamrealbecause brew's javaversion isn't as good as sdkman
- DoofusCanadensisit is a weird flex, for sure
- dreamrealbrew's java is openjdk, anyway, and sdkman gives you a LOT of control over specific JVMs, a huge win for sdkman
- DoofusCanadensisor you know what? sdkman team could write a brew recipe that requires bash and simplify things on macOS
- dreamrealor that! File an issue!
- dreamrealor file a PR :D
- dreamrealI find a lot of bugs are inspired by someone having a variant environment that just surprises the authors because they don't share that environment
- DoofusCanadensisno doubt
- dreamreallike chances are every sdkman author has bashv4 so v3 just doesn't occur to them, but once it does it's like "oh, of course, let's fix"
- DoofusCanadensisI don't have brew's bash installed here
- DoofusCanadensisbut I'm fine with letting IDEA manage my JDKs for me
- dreamrealI'm not
- DoofusCanadensisyeah well, you're smarter than I am
- dreamrealactually, that reminds me I have an absurd gradle build that IDEA chokes on :/
- DoofusCanadensisthat sounds not fun
- dreamrealIt is not
- dreamrealit's actually all kinds of anti-fun
