Is there any wildcard pattern support for `--tag`?

dra download --tag v*-beta FreeTubeApp/FreeTube

Hi @candrapersada!

No, it's not supported to use wildcards with --tag.

Can you explain why would you need it?

for download freetube from latest pre-releases

I could use this feature. I am trying to download the latest appimage asset from wireapp/wire-desktop, but dra doesn't detect that I'm on Linux, and insists on trying to download the MacOS asset. When I define "--tag linux/3.40.3882", dra will download that specific tag, but I want the latest and greatest Linux appimage for wire-desktop. I can't get dra to download the Linux Appimage, either interactively or in automatic mode.

For example, this works fine:

]$ dra download --tag "linux/3.40.3882" -o "$HOME/tmp/Wire.AppImage" -i -a wireapp/wire-desktop
Release tag is linux/3.40.3882
Saved to: /tmp/dra-ec44f73ea72045ceaa9d9704b0c13ebf
Extracted executable to '/home/kinggrowler/tmp/Wire.AppImage'
Installation completed!

Whereas this command always wants to download the macos asset:

]$ dra download  wireapp/wire-desktop
Release tag is macos/3.40.5442
? Pick the asset to download

Though perhaps I'm not using your tool correctly. I'm using dra on Fedora, installed via homebrew.

]$ dra --version
dra 0.10.1

Hi @kinggrowler!

It's downloading the macos asset because the latest release for that repository is macos/3.40.5442. Most of the time, there is a single release with multiple assets for each operating systems.

Your only option is to manually set --tag option like you did.

Would the feature request that @candrapersada help with this issue?

Technically yes, you could do something like --tag linux/*.

That being said, I need to understand if it's feasible to develop this new feature

Thank you.
