port19 (May 17 2023 at 21:19): port19 (May 17 2023 at 21:19):Is building from the git head okay or should I stick to that nightly release from half a year ago?
Notification Bot (May 17 2023 at 21:20):A message was moved here from #beginners > Test failures in gen_abilities after Json updates by port19.
Brendan Hansknecht (May 17 2023 at 21:25):Nightly is new. Just GitHub shows the wrong date
Brendan Hansknecht (May 17 2023 at 21:25):Look at the file dates
Brendan Hansknecht (May 17 2023 at 21:26):That said, i think the very newest version is has a broken help on CLI. So you may want to grab a day or 2 old
Brendan Hansknecht (May 17 2023 at 21:27):@Anton , do we have a way to update the date that GitHub actually shows for the nightly build when we run our nightly workflow instead of just updating the files?
Brendan Hansknecht (May 17 2023 at 21:27):Oh, also, building from head is totally fine if you want to. Should work just fine minus the help CLI bug.
port19 (May 17 2023 at 21:43):current git head doesn't compile so I went with actual nightly
Brendan Hansknecht (May 17 2023 at 21:53):Compiles for me on head...anyway, glad nightly is working for you :+1:
Anton (May 19 2023 at 08:19):Anton , do we have a way to update the date that GitHub actually shows for the nightly build when we run our nightly workflow instead of just updating the files?
There is no easy way to update the date, I can make a new release and delete the old one. Github is not very well suited for nightly releases, I've been meaning to set up releases on roc-lang.org but have not gotten around to it yet.
Anton (May 19 2023 at 09:04):I plan on setting up roc-lang.org/download next week, follow further conversation here
