cs update not finding new versions without --mode force

[ckipp01]

I've noticed a couple different people on Discord having issues with having old version installed by scala-cli. For example I saw this issue with Bloop and with Metals. I run cs update in a morning script that I have every day so I sort of always expect my stuff to be up to date, but today I realized my scala-cli version was out of date. Even with a fresh install I wasn't getting the new one and wouldn't unless I used --mode force. For example here are the steps I took to illustrate this:

❯ cs install scala-cli
Wrote scala-cli

~
❯ scala-cli --version
Scala CLI version: 0.1.17
Scala version (default): 3.2.0

~
❯ cs update scala-cli

~
❯ cs update --mode force scala-cli

Output of cs version

❯ cs version
2.1.0-RC2

I recently came across this issue in Scala Steward scala-steward-org/scala-steward#2797 and I wonder if these could be related?

If this is the same issue as I described in scala-steward-org/scala-steward#2797 (comment), downgrading cs to 2.1.0-RC1 would fix it.

Yea the tricky part is that now all the cache is refreshed I don't have the same problem. So it's a bit hard to reproduce.

Alright I was just able to confirm this. I released some new artifacts today and was unable to fetch them or see them:

❯ cs complete-dep ch.epfl.scala:bloop-maven-plugin:2.0.0-M

Just returned nothing. I then did the following:

❯ cs install cs:2.1.0-RC1
https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/get-coursier/apps/maven-metadata.xml
  No new update since 2022-11-03 13:28:27
Wrote cs

~/Documents/scala-workspace/scalacenter/bloop-maven-plugin main ≡
❯ cs complete-dep ch.epfl.scala:bloop-maven-plugin:2.0.0-M

https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/ch/epfl/scala/bloop-maven-plugin/maven-metadata.xml
  100.0% [##########] 381B (2.4 KiB / s)
2.0.0-M2
2.0.0-M3

And everything then worked.
