My goal is: To fix the sluggish behavior in mos tool after my mos update or roll back to 2.18.0
My actions are: I recently ran mos update. I thought this would update from the previous mos version 2.18.0 to 2.19.0.
mos update
The result I see is: I see the mos tool lists 74~brew on my system (OSx). I see the tool slow down and become sluggish after some use. I also see some corrupt printout characters in the console.
I have tried removing it and reinstalling:
brew uninstall mos
brew install mos
My expectation & question is: I would like to know if my update ran properly. Is it normal to see 74~brew for the version number? If not, how do I correct this and get a clean install or roll back?
I dunno about brew or Mac, on other systems you just pass the specific version you request to the update command. This procedure also should leave a backup file (.bak or whatever) that you can rename to have the prior version. mos update 2.18.0 should get you what you want
Hello @scaprile,
Thank you for the suggestion. I tried the command mos update 2.18.0 and restarted the mos tool and also tried a computer reboot. I don’t see anything different on my end. Still lists 74~brew is the mos tool version. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place for the mos version, it is top right in the osx mos tool window. I started getting a core dump about the same time I updated so I want to roll back to 2.18.0 to rule the update out.

To reinstall 74, run:

I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling with the same result.
brew uninstall mos
brew install mos
My best guess is that my issue has to do with the update channel “latest” and “release”. It appears as though it is set to “latest”. My guess is this is preventing the roll back?
The 74~brew mos tool command line entry becomes unresponsive after a time. I did not see this with 2.18.0
Thanks for your help, Jim

Dear @scaprile,
Yes I agree, I think the update took me to 74~brew, and failed to update to 2.19.0. I can’t figure out why how to fix these. Everything I’ve tried to roll back takes me to 74~brew. All my builds now crash after a short time.
Thanks, Jim
Close the terminal session and open a new one after that.
This way I can do
mos update # updates the current version release or latest
mos update release # switch latest
mos update latest # switch to current release
mos update 2.18.0 # switch to a specific version

I must be doing something wrong. Still seeing the same results:

Interesting as it seems the the brew sequence does not allow the update per the CLI entries as expected. Here is the brew sequence:

When you download with curl you install the files in your user dir. That is yours and the program can update those files.
When you use the brew stuff, my impression is that the system is not allowing you to perform the update, It should correctly inform you that you don’t have the necessary permissions, but it doesn’t.
Dear @scaprile and @nliviu,
I believe that the mos update that took version 2.18.0 to 74~brew was the source of these issues. Note that I believe my other post to be related to the 74~brew as well:
Also note that he update was prompted in the mos tool and the mos installation was per the mos instructions for MAC OSx:
