Description

Receiving error when attempting to install rover on Windows 10.

Steps to reproduce

I've run the following as a normal user and an admin in powershell 7.4.0:

iwr 'https://rover.apollo.dev/win/latest' | iex

Expected result

I expect rover to be installed.

Actual result

Downloading Rover from https://github.com/apollographql/rover/releases/download/v0.23.0/rover-v0.23.0-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.tar.gz
error: unexpected argument '' found

Usage: rover.exe install [OPTIONS]

For more information, try '--help'.

Environment

rover isn't installed yet, so I can't run rover.

If you can't run rover info for some reason, please provide as much of the following info as possible:

• Operating system and version:
  • OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise
  • OS Version: 10.0.19045 N/A Build 19045
• Shell:: powershell 7.4.0
• Version of Rover (rover --help): n/a
• Apollo Studio Plan: none
• Installation method: iwr

did you by chance have whitespace at the end of the command?

[rquackenbush]

@LongLiveCHIEF - no. I just verified. No whitespace.

As best I can tell, the issue revolves around no arguments being passed into the script. I downloaded the powershell script and found that the error happens on this line of Install-Binary:

Invoke-Installer "$exe" "$rover_install_args"

It appears that $rover_install_args is empty. I have further confirmed that the call to Install-Binary has no value for $Args.

Is there an additional parameter I'm supposed to supply?

I was able to get rover installed by doing the following:

• I downloaded the raw tar from: github
• I extracted the file using the following command: tar -xkf rover-v0.23.0-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.tar.gz "c:\Scratch\"
• I executed (from c:\Scratch) .\rover.exe install
• Exited powershell and started a new powershell terminal
• I was able to run rover by running rover
