Wyvern 1.4.1 Released - Fixes crashing when downloading 4 years ago

From nicohman to ~nicohman/wyvern

So, GOG deprecated downloader urls and it seems like that's now made wyvern unable to download anything. However, v1.4.1 has now been published to crates.io, and it seems like it should be fixed. Let me know if there are any more problems.

Wyvern 1.4 Released 5 years ago

From nicohman to ~nicohman/wyvern

I'm happy to announce that wyvern v1.4.0 has now officially been released and published to crates.io. The
new feature list is admittedly a little bit sparse, but it's a big one:

- Interactive login
I've been working on this for quite a while, and now it's finally here! You can
now pick between logging in by pasting in a code from the oauth page, or by just
entering your username and password in the CLI.

- Extra options for the extras subcommand

I'd also like to mention a few newish places wyvern is available for more
platforms while I'm here:

- As a snap on snapcraft.io

Semi-fixed this issue. Wyvern will still crash, but will crash with a more informative error message, once gog is updated.

Re: How do I download a game? 6 years ago

Ok, this appears to be two separate issues, one of which is easily corrected, and the other which
is less so. The crashing issue originates from the gog crate, where evidently it's possibly for
game request to succeed but not return any information--I'll fix that pretty easily.

Right now, wyvern uses the same API as the website, so it's not going to be able to download that
game. I will see about adding an option similar to that, though.

The second issue is the whole not finding any files to download thing. It appears like for some
reason every request being made through the no-redirect client is failing, though I don't know why.
If it's not too much trouble, could I ask you to try building wyvern with a version of the gog
