FYI, it's urgent that #???? (fix for #5065) and #5346 (fix for #5066) have to be included in this release otherwise the regression would last for a longer time until the next release cycle.

[niheaven]

Oh yes, so waiting for them. I'll prepare for #5065 these two days.

[lewis-yeung]

Opps! I forgot to change the title of #5346 before it got merged. 😅

[WHYBBE]

There are some issues related to ScoopInstaller/Install#48, due to my two modifications: ScoopInstaller/Install#44 and #5395

An easily reproducible case is:

• Use the latest dev branch code(New method to get/set env in core.ps1)
• Install a python version that has not been installed by scoop(There is no relevant Python path in environment variables)
• Execute python --version(The correct version can be obtained)
• Right-click to open the Windows start key, select Windows Terminal(Windows 11)
• Execute python --version again(Can't get the version correctly)
• It can also be verified by directly adding a script or executable program to the Python environment variable path that was just added and repeating the above steps

The code I modified caused a little problem with the environment variable session. If you pin a Windows Terminal on the taskbar and use it to open Powershell, the problem will be covered up.

What I said may not be intuitive, anyway, my ScoopInstaller/Install#44 and #5395 modifications have some problems that need to be fixed.

A more detailed description can be found in comment-1479699208

So the new method add path to current session only? Could you have a hotfix for it?

[WHYBBE]

So the new method add path to current session only? Could you have a hotfix for it?

No, the situation is very complicated. The modification of the registry is successful, and of course the modification of the Path is also successful, but the strange thing is that the session will not be modified in some cases at some places.

Return to normal by doing some operations: Restart or manually save the editor of Path once (open Path and save it, no need to modify). Of course this is not acceptable.

However I don't know how to deal with it, and I have a busy weekday, maybe I can spend the weekend exploring what is wrong.

I apologize for the new bugs(shouldn't exist) I caused.

[r15ch13]

Changing the registry value is not enough.
This is why choco runs setx and calls a user32.dll function:
https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/blob/ac806ee5ce03dea28f01c81f88c30c17726cb3e9/src/chocolatey.resources/helpers/functions/Set-EnvironmentVariable.ps1#L99-L124
The function call is probably not needed, because we don't care what explorer.exe does.

Copy of ScoopInstaller/Install#48 (comment)

[29039]

Hey all, I have been using/customising scoop to my needs, I want to contribute a few tweaks upstream.

Just wondering,

1: what is the anticipated release date of 0.4.0 is it too late to submit new changes?

2: How can I install 0.4.0 for testing?
