Yay --noconfirm just says nothing to do

TheWiseSoloBit · 1 March 2022 21:41

Hello all,

when I run yay --noconfirm something I get a "nothing to do" not letting me chose anything.

yay kdbx --noconfirm
5 aur/python2-pykeepass 4.0.1-1 [+0 ~0.00]

there is nothing to do

If I use yay -Suy --noconfirm it acts like intended (that is goes ahead and install packages without asking confirmation).
This is a fresh install.

What's happening?

Welcome to the forum

Please, post your garuda-inxi .
Did you check yay git about issues?

Hi SGS and thanks for helping me!

Actually not, I've not checked yay bugs, since I supposed yay is so used that I've read something here too..

Naman · 1 March 2022 22:12

You mean

yay -S <package_name> --noconfirm

Also, that is not kdbx, it is kdbx-viewer

I hope, this solves your issue.

TheWiseSoloBit · 1 March 2022 22:14

to be honest I might be wrong, but if I wanted a list o packages containing keyword “kdbx” I had to omit the -S flag… am I wrong?

filo · 1 March 2022 22:17

yay <package_name> search and install, but if the result is not unique, probably --noconfirm is not applied.
yay -Ss <package_name> is for search (without installing).
yay -S <package_name> to install (but I guess --noconfirm should work when the result is a single package)

TheWiseSoloBit · 1 March 2022 22:21

Hi filo,
as far as I remember, last time I had garuda, I could write:
yay keyword --noconfirm
then a list of packages was given, but once you specified i.e. 1 3 7 it was installing packages 1,3,7 without asking confirmation...

SGS · 1 March 2022 22:23

I got _ cursor to use 1-5. 1 is kdbx-viever like Naman wrote.

TheWiseSoloBit · 1 March 2022 22:27

yep, without the --noconfirm you get the cursor. Actually, time ago, you had the cursor even with --noconfirm: the difference was only regarding the fact that in one case you had to choose packages and then give confirms (reviews, builds and so on), while in the other case you had to choose the package and didn't have to confirm every step.

As of now, if you add the --noconfirm flag, you cannot choose anything, it just aborts.

I don't know if I was able to explicate well what I mean...

Ok wait, this is not a yay porblem: I just resolved issuing a bash spawn:

==> Packages to install (eg: 1 2 3, 1-3 or ^4)
==>

and now I'm requested to choose the package: so I suppose there's something not working within fish shell and yay since if I use bash everything works

SGS · 1 March 2022 22:34

Fun:
There is no --noconfirm

 ╭─sgs@i3 in ~ took 11ms

Naman · 1 March 2022 22:35

Same with ZSH. Might be worth bringing to notice of yay devs, kind of bug report.

TheWiseSoloBit · 1 March 2022 22:36

You have no --noconfirm flag because that help just show This manpage only covers options unique to Yay. For other options see pacman(8).: that's what's written in manpage, so I suppose it's the same for the inline help..

TheWiseSoloBit · 1 March 2022 22:38

It's better for a dev to issue a bugreport: as of never-heard-of-you-wisesolobit I think they would't care that much

SGS · 1 March 2022 22:49

I don't think that's what matters.
Programmers are happy when everyone tries to improve the software.

tbg · 1 March 2022 22:51

The user is the one responsible for issuing bug reports to upstream projects, not the distro. If the devs were responsible for issuing bug reports on every piece of software in the Arch repositories, they would have zero time leftover to actually develop the distro.
