zig refers to zig-dev

[fleimgruber]

scoop update [email protected]
zig: 0.11.0 (latest version)
Latest versions for all apps are installed! For more information try 'scoop status'

But then when updating zig-dev this happens

scoop update zig-dev
zig-dev: 0.12.0-dev.1381+61861ef39 -> 0.12.0-dev.1388+d89266569

which then leads (via "Creating shim for 'zig'") to this bug (or at least this behavior is undocumented):

zig version
0.12.0-dev.1388+d89266569

More information as I read in the sources that the zig shim will point to zig-dev if zig is not installed. I uninstalled and installed zig again, which led to:

scoop uninstall zig
Uninstalling 'zig' (0.11.0).
Removing shim 'zig.shim.zig'.
Unlinking ~\scoop\apps\zig\current
Removing older version (0.9.1).
'zig' was uninstalled.

This seems related? JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh#2989, i.e. the space in ..." ' at the end of the process error looks suspicious.

So this should be the clue on what is going wrong: I looked into $SCOOP/apps/zig/0.11.0 and found the zig.exe to be 0 bytes in size.

Looking into this now!

Thanks! Please note that this might be better handled on a different level, see ScoopInstaller/Scoop#5720.
