glab installation through winget does not add glab as recognized executable

[awa5114]

Description

When I installed glab using the winget instructions provided in the readme, I couldn't run glab from the command line because it is not recognized.

Expected Behavior vs Actual Behavior

I expect that the command line app is available immediately after install, but this is not the case.

Steps to Reproduce

I installed using the following:

winget install --exact glab

By the way, please note that the command provided in the docs, namely winget install glab does not work as there exists another in msstore which starts with those same letters.

The installation ran successfully. The logs are as follows (in Dutch):

Gevonden glab [GLab.GLab] Versie 1.21.1

De installatie-hash is geverifieerd

I then tried a simple glab from the command line, which threw the following error:

glab : The term 'glab' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet,
function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the
name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try

I tried a refreshenv, then glab. I also tried running from a new terminal but none of these things worked.

Your Environment

Windows 10, with glab version 1.21.1 I assume

Hi @brodock, thanks for reporting this issue.

Is this issue still valid for v1.22.0 ?

[homotechsual]

Can confirm the same behaviour with 1.22.0 installed via WInGet. The PATH entry is added for all users I seem to have solved this by adding a \ to the end of the path.

It wasn't me who have reported it :) @awa5114 would you mind double checking if this is still a problem?
