Error when working offline

[fredrikaverpil]

When I enter a directory where dev has been activated, and when working offline:

$ cd dotfiles
resolving graph…error: Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: error sending request for url (https://dist.pkgx.dev/info-zip.org/unzip/darwin/aarch64/versions.txt): error trying to connect: dns error: failed to lookup address information: nodename nor servname provided, or not known

    at async Object.select (https://deno.land/x/libpkgx@v0.17.0/src/hooks/useInventory.ts:7:20)

Is this expected?

Yes, it is expected behavior to encounter a DNS error when working offline in a directory where dev has been activated. The dev tool relies on pkgx and its integration with the shell, which may require network access to determine and fetch the necessary packages based on your project’s keyfiles. If you are offline, the tool may not be able to resolve DNS queries needed to access these resources ^[1].

Some care has been taken that existing installs should work when offline. However, I don't know off-hand if that same level of offline-capability applies to some of the newer/fancier features like automatic dev management. Did you already have info-zip.org/unzip installed? It should prefer a local version which satisfies its requirements where possible, but building the available version list does require the internet.

[fredrikaverpil]

No, I didn't haveinfo-zip.org/unzip installed, and it also did not download once I got online... or at least there's no info-zip.org folder in ~/.pkgx.

Feel free to close this issue if this was expected @jhheider

[jhheider]

Ooh, that is odd. I know it's used internally for unpacking zip files, but if it needed it, I'd expect it to have been downloaded. Just to be clear, you re-entered the dev environment (cd ~; cd - or similar) after coming online?

[fredrikaverpil]

Yeah, after coming back online I've entered several directories with dev enabled. There's still no ~/.pkgx/info-zip.org/unzip folder... so not sure why that was requested.

Yeah this shouldn't happen, let me think about why it might have.
