Make upgrading asdf more seamless
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
On upgrading asdf, none of the postgres related shims were working, due to the exec call pointing to a specific version of asdf.
Describe the solution you'd like
Instead of pointing to a specific version of asdf, use a symlink like other asdf plugins.
pg_config
exec /usr/local/Cellar/asdf/0.8.1_1/libexec/bin/asdf exec "pg_config" "$@"
vs. node
exec /usr/local/opt/asdf/bin/asdf exec "node" "$@"
Node (and others) worked directly out of the box after the asdf upgrade without issue.
Describe alternatives you've considered
What got things working and able to continue on my day, was manually going in and changing the exec call on the shims that were failing. That got what I was doing immediately working, but I realized that it may break in a difference way later on. So, I uninstalled and re-installed postgres through asdf itself.
Additional context This was on MacOS
Any idea how other plugins are doing that? I can go see if I can figure out what I'm doing wrong, but I can't get to it this weekend.
I can't seem to duplicate this. It worked fine on my last update. I am going to have to figure out how others are doing this.
I am sure this is still wrong, but I will not have time to address it. I haven't noticed it, likely because I reinstall postgres so regularly. If this is a problem for anyone, I would gladly accept a PR, but for now I am closing this with the recommendation that if your shims break, re-install postgres. I'm really sorry.
Missed your comments, but apparently I see the closure :joy:. All good, I don't think I've seen any issues in a while.
