xlings未能检测到环境变量中的vscode问题

[XGanQAQ]

Background | 背景

我在配置xlings的现代cpp学习环境的时候，使用它下载教程项目，它给我安装了一个vscode，但是我本身就已经安装了vscode。

Describe | 问题描述

xlings无法检测到环境变量中的vscode，重复安装vscode

Desktop | 环境

windows 11 , powershell

Solution by you | 已尝试的方案

确认code的环境变量配置正常的情况下，卸载xlings下载的vscode再重新使用它下载，看看会不会检测到已经有vscode
结果是没能正常检测到，又重复下载了

卸载后运行code --version 的结果看一下

[XGanQAQ]

卸载后可以正常获得到code

PS C:\Users\24238> xlings remove code
[xlings:xim]: create pm executor for <code> ...
[xlings:xim]: package not installed - code

        Did you mean one of these?

[xlings:xim]: please check the name and try again

好像是因为windows上 code命令 对应的是code.cmd这个问题导致的

CommandType     Name                                               Version    Source

可以先用下面的命令把系统中的vscode信息注册到xlings的版本管理器中, 暂时解决这个重复安装问题

xvm add code system --alias code.cmd
xvm add vscode system --alias code.cmd

清一下缓冲(防止之前的干扰

xlings self clean

We need a env identification, compatible for windows and linux, rather, some of windiows apps has no cli.
The xim package is awkward compared to other package managers.

if install by xlings, apps can be automatically registered to xvm. but it have a litte hard to detect for some installation methods, only to adapt(eaxmple for some mainstream installation methods). xlings similar with other package managers

there seems to be no good common solution now

[Sunrisepeak]

修复代码已经合入

• PR: xim: optimize detect for system version #105

可以用以下步骤进行验证

1.更新xlings到最新版本

irm https://d2learn.org/xlings-install.ps1.txt | iex

2.更新包索引

xim --update index

3.测试

xlings remove code
xlings self clean
xlings install code

预期输出

code@system - already installed

I guess so, certain isolation of environment or detection, but detection would break the independence of installation.

• early, use system installer is better;
• use xlings installer is better when 'xim-pkgindex' cover enough

so, system version has higher priority

• common-detect can cover most scenes
• for special case, it should implement in hook.installed by package author
• all complexity is transparent to the user

if (has_system_version) {
    ...
} else {
    xlings installer...
}

if (has_system_version) {
    ...
} else {
    xlings installer...
}

Indeed, but to adapt various map of distro should be developed. I recommend a isolated installation for xlings with symlink, like scoop, and xlings manage possible isolated path env. I haven't read the code but it seems no modification quite a time. Previous design in #54 is too complicated, I want to reduce much of it, but currently I guess relying on xmake to build the cli is bad, xmake rebuild everything upon it. I don't know whether it can import deps too.

Things are simple, we export XLING_ENV: ...., and place our symlink, or fixed dir, and export it into PATH. Then it point to or contains the executable. For uninstall operation, we remove the env directly.
