Re: After upgrade to 5.3.0 chickadee is broken

[T. Kurt Bond]

I first noticed this issue yesterday with chickadee, but I probably haven't used chicken for a couple of weeks.   Looking at homebrew, a precompiled chicken 5.3.0 was installed on 2021-12-13, probably as the result of my running brew upgrade, rather than deliberately updating Chicken .  When I went to work on some chicken scheme code yesterday I noticed that my code wasn't compiling because the eggs it uses weren't installed any more, and that's because of the update to 5.3.0.  I went about reinstalling the eggs and reinstalling the programs I've written in Chicken Scheme.  (I hadn't noticed because the ones that I use every day I always compile statically, so they didn't break; I'll just mention in passing that I'm really glad Chicken Scheme as the option to build things statically, for lots of reasons. :)  Anyway, as part of rebuilding my environment with 5.3.0 I reinstalled chicken-doc and chickadee (because I regularly work unconnected to the net), which led to noticing the problem in my original message.

I had not observed this problem with the 5.2.whatever-version that was installed prior to 5.3.0.

This does look suspicious. I don’t remember seeing this in 5.2 though (you had opened this ticket 16 months ago). Did this just manifest itself suddenly?

Ok, I've figured out what went wrong, but I'm not sure why that happened.  Again, this is happening on macOS using homebrew to install CHICKEN Scheme 5.3.0.  

The chickadee.install.sh commands that create .../share/chicken and copy the directory chickadee to it use /usr/local/Cellar/chicken/5.3.0/usr/local/Cellar/chicken/5.3.0/share/chicken instead of /usr/local/Cellar/chicken/5.3.0/share/chicken.  That is, it repeats the /usr/local/Cellar/chicken/5.3.0/ part, so the files end up in the wrong place.

Here are the commands from chickadee.install.sh:

mkdir -p "${DESTDIR}"'/usr/local/Cellar/chicken/5.3.0/usr/local/Cellar/chicken/5.3.0/share/chicken'

cp -v -r '/Users/tkb/.cache/chicken-install/chickadee/chickadee' "${DESTDIR}"'/usr/local/Cellar/chicken/5.3.0/usr/local/Cellar/chicken/5.3.0/share/chicken'

So, something is going wrong when chickadee.install.sh is generated.

I've added an issue in the chickadee github repository: https://github.com/ursetto/chickadee/issues/1

I installed chicken-doc and then chickadee, but now when I run "chickadee serve" I get the following message:

And, indeed, that directory is missing.  I've uninstalled chickadee and installed it again, but that made no difference. 

Any idea of what is going wrong?
