mvnd 0.9.0 "destroys" the console

[OLibutzki]

After running any mvnd command with 0.9.0 arrow-up doesn't work anymore to get the history commands. Instead of the previous command, ^[[A is printed.

The problem does not exist in the latest 1.0.0 milestone and in 0.8.2.

OS: Windows 10 & 11

I got the same issue, and in fact this problem was solved after 1.0-m6-39/40, seems it only affect in the version range 0.9.0 to 1.0.0-m4.

Maybe you can solve this by update your mvnd.

If for a short time usage to mvnd 0.9.0 or 1.0.0-m4, you can manually run Ctrl + C to clear the wrong print like '^[[A', and then run CMD or bash or sh to restore the command line after this issue happended.

Yes, I can use 1.0.0. Usally I use Chocolatey to install mvnd. Is it possible to install 1.0.0 milestones with choco, too?

Em... I tried it but could only install mvnd up to 0.9.0 with Chocolatey...
Maybe the team just publish release version to Chocolatey repository, not the milestone versions.
That does bother.
I think downgrading to 0.8.2 is the best solution in this situation. In fact, I did use 0.8.2 before upgrading to 1.0-m6 for a long time.

@OLibutzki @GitPopcorn The release process has changed a bit with recent releases. If someone can provide a script that would automatically publish the release to chocolatey somehow, it could be integrated in https://github.com/apache/maven-mvnd/blob/master/build/release-publish.sh

Afaik, @johanjanssen provided the choco packages so far. Maybe he can help?

The scripts are located here: https://github.com/johanjanssen/ChocolateyPackages/tree/master/mvndaemon

Maybe @aalmiray (JReleaser) can help, too...

[johanjanssen]

I think Chocolatey doesn't support beta/milestone version information in their tags. So to solve this I think I would need to create a new Chocolatey package with a different id, something like mvnd-beta. Or are there other ways?

Next to that I already indicated that I want to stop maintaining the Chocolatey package, as I don't use them myself anymore. So if someone wants to take over, let me know. I'm happy to maintain it until the end of the year, but after that I won't do it anymore.

[OLibutzki]

In my opinion the best option is to include the choco publication in the mvnd release process - similar to homebrew and sdkman.

JReleaser can certainly help. As @johanjanssen mentioned the use of tags is tricky. I know for a fact that M and RC are treated specially, don't know about BETA and ALPHA.

Moreover, as Johan has states he'll no longer support the choco package someone else must take on the task.
