Error: unhandled exception: 404 Not Found [HttpRequestError]

OS: Windows 10 Enterprise x64

Version: choosenim v0.3.2 (2018-02-27 20:19:49) [windows/i386]

Since choosenim update self is the recommended way to update choosenim, it would be nice to catch and handle these types of exceptions to provide a little more information (e.g. which URL caused the 404).

This is a bug in choosenim (exceptions should always be handled)

Run choosenim update self --debug to get info about the URL. I think I know how to fix this though.

[dom96]

Bah. Looks like choosenim won't add the .exe to the URL: https://github.com/dom96/choosenim/blob/v0.4.0/src/choosenim.nim#L82. And GitHub won't let me save an .exe binary without the .exe extension :(

Is all that's needed is an addFileExt(ExeEct)?

[dom96]

Possibly. But AFAIK we'll get "File is in use" errors when copying over choosenim.exe anyway because of how Windows works.

[genotrance]

Does this mean we don't have choosenim self update working on Windows to date?

[dom96]

Yes, I doubt it works.
