bob: bob doesn't write files

Hi !

I’m trying to use bob on Raspberry Pi OS (Debian, arm64) and it seems bob can’t write files.

Here’s the output when I try to reproduce the command from the README gif :

$ bob install 0.8.1
Downloaded version v0.8.1 to /home/steuv/.local/share/bob/v0.8.1.appimage
  [00:00:08] [¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦] 14.65MiB/14.65MiB (1.80MiB/s, 0s)
Jan 20 11:14:07.395  INFO v0.8.1 has been successfully installed in /home/steuv/.local/share/bob
$ bob use 0.8.1

Jan 20 11:14:47.559  INFO You can now use v0.8.1!
$ bob ls
+-------------------------+
¦  Version  ¦  Status     ¦

$ tree /home/steuv/.local/share/bob/
/home/steuv/.local/share/bob/

¦   +-- nvim
+-- used

1 directory, 2 files

I’ve checked the permission on bob directory for current user but it’s ok:

$ ls /home/steuv/.local/share/ -al
   rwx------   5   steuv   steuv      4 KiB   Thu Jan 18 13:49:15 2024  ?  ./
   rwxr-xr-x   5   steuv   steuv      4 KiB   Tue Jan  9 21:06:55 2024  ?  ../
   rwxr-xr-x   3   steuv   steuv      4 KiB   Sat Jan 20 11:14:47 2024  ?  bob/
   ...

I’ve installed bob from cartes.io (cargo install bob-nvim) with no error.

I don’t know where to start my troubleshout.
Any help will be appreciated !

Thanks for the time you’ve taken on this issue.

Yeah, I hope they’ll add arm support too sometimes soon !

hmmm i see, I will try soon create a branch with debug log, download it and then show me what it outputs.

Ok, I managed to create the Docker image and run bob, but still the same result, no install append.
And the odd thing is that I did my test on a fresh new Raspberry Pi Os install on an other hardware (Raspberry Pi Zero 2 > Raspberry Pi 4). It’s even a different Debian version (11 Bulleye > 12 Bookworm).

I tried to run an install from binary and an install from cargo crates, and still the same issue.
I’ll try on a VM with Raspberry Pi Os and standard Debian to continue the test.

Log from Docker test:

Ye all good, I wish I had a way to recreate this issue though.
