npx shows Jbang 0.116.0

[koppor]

I think, @jbangdev/jbang should use the latest jbang version

>npx @jbangdev/jbang jabkit@jabref --help
[jbang] There is a new version of jbang available!
[jbang] You have version 0.116.0 and 0.126.1 is the latest.
...
>jbang --version
0.126.0

---

Maybe, even the npm version should be in line?

Following output is a bit strange:

>npx @jbangdev/jbang jabkit --help
Need to install the following packages:
@jbangdev/[email protected]
Ok to proceed? (y) y

Can you do a run with --verbose as my guess is that a PATH lookup is different between the npx path and terminal path.

About JBang and jbang on npm they are technically different pices of tech and don't need to release new version of jbang on npm Everytime jbang proper gets released.

Not sure, where I should place --verbose...

$ jbang --verbose --version
0.126.1

[maxandersen]

ok that didnt reveal much :/

can you run this:

jbang env@jbangdev JBANG

and

npx @jbangdev/jbang env@jbangdev JBANG

and show what it outputs?

should show which jbang cmd it actually runs with.

[koppor]

What does which jbang print?

I don't get the question. The last screenshot shows the respective versions of JBang.

[subhramit]

I don't get the question.

Maybe they are talking about the which linux command

[koppor]

That machine's hardware crashed, but I have it running a VM...

c:\git-repositories>where jbang
C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin\jbang.exe
C:\Users\olive\.jbang\bin\jbang
C:\Users\olive\.jbang\bin\jbang.cmd

Today, both show 0.126.3

Maybe, some miracle happened? ^^

[koppor]

After a choco upgrade jbang, jbang --version is 0.128.5 and npx @jbangdev/jbang --version is 0.126.3

[koppor]

Think, I found it

c:\git-repositories>C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin\jbang.exe --version
0.128.5

c:\git-repositories>C:\Users\olive\.jbang\bin\jbang --version
0.126.3

c:\git-repositories>C:\Users\olive\.jbang\bin\jbang.cmd --version
0.126.3

C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin is in the PATH

[maxandersen]

ah chocolatey creates and .exe wrapper.

that gets missed by this code: https://github.com/jbangdev/jbang-npm/blob/main/jbang.js#L58

[koppor]

Oh, yeah, thank you for finding! - I filed jbangdev/jbang-npm#20 for tracking.
