Problem running the Powershell version of fetch-configlet

Exercism Support
1

I’m getting this both in Ubuntu and Windows 11

bin$ pwsh ./fetch-configlet.ps1
Invoke-WebRequest: /mnt/c/Users/bugma/Source/Repos/3rdParty/euphoria/bin/fetch-configlet.ps1:29
Line |
  29 |  Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $downloadUrl -OutFile $outputFile @requestOpts
     |                         ~~~~~~~~~~~~
     | Cannot validate argument on parameter 'Uri'. The argument is null or
     | empty. Provide an argument that is not null or empty, and then try
     | the command again.

Is something out of date here?

The upstream fetch-configlet.ps1 script is one commit ahead of the one in the euphoria track repo. Could you please confirm whether the error still occurs with the upstream version?

The error looks different, so it might be an independent issue. I’m not a PowerShell user, so this would be one for Erik. Either way, we’re probably overdue for resyncing the track repo PowerShell scripts with upstream.

I’ve opened fetch-configlet.ps1: "Cannot validate argument" error · Issue #839 · exercism/configlet · GitHub

I’ve created a PR to fix this: Fix powershell script by ErikSchierboom · Pull Request #841 · exercism/configlet · GitHub

@axtens Could you check if the version defined in Fix powershell script by ErikSchierboom · Pull Request #841 · exercism/configlet · GitHub (so that’s https://github.com/exercism/configlet/blob/b64c05a12eca206c8fdfc1528e4098c48cde7e90/scripts/fetch-configlet.ps1) works for you?

Yes. Works a treat.

I can’t approve the PR for some reason, if that’s what you’re waiting for.

No I’m not, I just forgot :man_shrugging:
