I installed curl and I was able to update and then select latest.

[rahulmutt]

@jrcii Someone else has reproduced the error above. The fix was to install curl right?

[jrciii]

I believe so.

Yes, I can confirm that curl needs to be installed.

I have curl installed via the Windows package manager Chocolatey. I had trouble installing Chocolatey via the regular command prompt, but was successful in doing so via the PowerShell (Admin). I then proceeded to install curl, and etlas update was successful without any errors. I just realized that I ran etlas update in PowerShell after installing curl instead of the regular command prompt like I did earlier today. In other words, curl does not run under the regular command prompt when installed via Chocolatey, which was installed in PowerShell; so with my current curl setup, I have to run etlas update and etlas select latest within the PowerShell. The following is the output from PowerShell:

  Updating the eta-hackage patch set.
  PS C:\Users\jcoli> etlas select latest
  Selected eta-0.7.0b1.

With this said, etlas does work within the regular command prompt.

I am new to Windows 10. The last time I was a Windows Power User was in the days of Windows XP, so it seems I have a bit to learn. I hope this helps others who would be in the same situation as me.

Thank you for your patience!

[rahulmutt]

@jcolivo Thanks for the detailed instructions! I'm sure this will be helpful for future Windows users. I'll keep this open until we find a good place to put this information in the docs.

[jneira]

As workaround you can use etlas update --http-transport=powershell or set the value in the global etlas config (see https://www.haskell.org/cabal/users-guide/nix-local-build.html#cfg-field-http-transport fot other options)

[rahulmutt]

@jneira Perhaps we should default to powershell on Windows?

[jneira]

In fact, i am trying to test my own advise and i am not able to pass --http-transport to any command 🤔
However it works if you set it in the global etlas config.

@jneira Perhaps we should default to powershell on Windows?

Only real old old windows systems does not have powershell (maybe some versions of xp?) but not sure if we can assume all users will have it (or will able to use it?)

[jneira]

If plain-http would support https it will be the best option...

[rahulmutt]

@jneira I've been long wanting to replace the dependency on curl with http-conduit or something. This will also allow us to give better diagnostic information on the progress of downloads instead of the ominous, static ....
