Reshim doesn't update asdf path

[pikeas]

Steps to reproduce

$ which asdf
/usr/local/Cellar/asdf/0.7.2/bin/asdf

$ python
/Users/aris/.asdf/shims/python: line 3: /usr/local/Cellar/asdf/0.7.1/bin/asdf: No such file or directory
/Users/aris/.asdf/shims/python: line 3: exec: /usr/local/Cellar/asdf/0.7.1/bin/asdf: cannot execute: No such file or directory

$ cat ~/.asdf/shims/python
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# asdf-plugin: python 3.7.3
exec /usr/local/Cellar/asdf/0.7.1/bin/asdf exec "python" "$@"

$ asdf reshim python

$ cat ~/.asdf/shims/python
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# asdf-plugin: python 3.7.3
exec /usr/local/Cellar/asdf/0.7.1/bin/asdf exec "python" "$@"

Expected behavior

asdf reshim python should update the asdf path from 0.7.1 to 0.7.2

Actual behavior

The shim file was unchanged.

Environment

OS: OS X 10.14

asdf version: 0.7.2

This happens because my shell sourced asdf from /usr/local/Cellar/asdf/<version> instead of brew --prefix asdf. Updating the source command to the latter, and running rm -rf ~/.asdf/shims && asdf reshim recreates the shims with the correct exec path.

[pikeas]

Re-opening this issue because a case can be made for reshim updating the exec path when it changes.

@pikeas we haven't had anyone else report this issue recently, can you check and see if this is still a problem on the latest version of asdf and asdf-python? Thanks!

[pikeas]

Just checked, reshim does not update when the exec command changes.

$ grep exec ~/.asdf/shims/python
exec /usr/local/opt/asdf/bin/asdf exec "python" "$@"

$ asdf reshim

$ grep exec ~/.asdf/shims/python
exec /usr/local/opt/asdf/bin/asdf exec "python" "$@"

$ grep asdf ~/.config/fish/config.fish
source /usr/local/Cellar/asdf/0.8.0/asdf.fish

$ rm ~/.asdf/shims/python
$ asdf reshim

$ grep exec ~/.asdf/shims/python
exec /usr/local/Cellar/asdf/0.8.0/bin/asdf exec "python" "$@"

This isn't a problem generally as /usr/local/opt/asdf symlinks to ../Cellar/asdf/<version>. As a quality of life improvement, it would be nice if reshim always updated shims relative to the invoked script, rather than only recreating when the shim is missing.

I just had this problem with Elixir/Erlang... tho maybe it's Homebrew's fault? I had several Elixir apps with various Elixir/Erlang versions and then checked out another app that is written in Ruby. I used asdf to install the correct Ruby version, then installed a ton of deps used by that app. Somewhere in there homebrew updated asdf from 0.8.1 to 0.9.0 but didn't fix the elixir/erlang shims. All the new Ruby shims had paths like /usr/local/opt/asdf/libexec/bin/asdf but the old shims had /usr/local/Cellar/asdf/0.8.1/... and I could not get reshim to update those. Even uninstalling all Elixir and Erlang versions did not remove the shims. Eventually just manually deleted each broken shim and after reinstalling my first Elixir and Erlang versions all the new shims are correct.

Also just had this problem with elixir/erlang and running rm -rf ~/.asdf/shims && asdf reshim fixed it for me.

Just bumped into this with Python.

@connorjacobsen works for me as well! Thanks!

@connorjacobsen worked for me as well!

I just bumped into this issue with elixir/erlang as well -- but the solution from @connorjacobsen worked

got the same issue, it works thanks

[Drarok]

Having to manually delete the shims to make a reshim command work seems counter-intuitive to me, but that does indeed seem to be the current way things work.

[albertvaka]

Not only that, IMO reshiming all existing shims should happen automatically on upgrade. Otherwise, all binaries break when asdf is updated.

Closing this as #1115 is the same but more active conversation
