Scoop: Update deletes Main Bucket and fails
When I download scoop, it seems to work fine (Invoke-Expression (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://get.scoop.sh')). I can install anything I want and they all work. However, once I try to update scoop scoop update It fails with the error:
Updating 'main' bucket...
Checking repo... 'https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main' doesn't look like a valid git repository
And the Main bucket is no longer in my scoop bucket folder.
I looked through other issues about this and tried a few.
The first I tried was deleting the .git file from ~/scoop/shims/apps/scoop/current but there is no .git file there.
I have also just deleted the whole scoop directory with git bash window rm -rf /scoop then reinstalling it several times.
Any help is very appreciated. And if this has been covered already my apologies, I must have missed it.

Install scoop normally, then run scoop install git and then try scoop update again.

Ok. I just did a fresh install of scoop and installed git
'git' (2.23.0.windows.1) was installed successfully!
Just ran the update and again
Updating 'main' bucket...
Checking repo... 'https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main' doesn't look like a valid git repository
I then renamed the folder for the existing Git in my system and did a fresh install of scoop and git with scoop. Same error
Updating 'main' bucket...
Checking repo... 'https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main' doesn't look like a valid git repository
I suspect some network / proxy problem.
What is result of git clone 'https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main' "$env:TEMP/TEST" ?

Also I just want to mention that now after that failure, if I try and install anything else or try the update again I get this:
WARN The main bucket of Scoop has been separated to 'https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main'
WARN You don't have the main bucket added, adding main bucket for you...
Checking repo... 'https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main' doesn't look like a valid git repository
@Ash258 When I do a git clone I get this.
git clone 'https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main' "$env:TEMP/TEST"

Hm, try running scoop bucket rm main and scoop bucket add main.
r15ch13
on 5 Sep 2019
@r15ch13 Ok, the rm looks like it works, or at least didn't throw an error. But the add does the same error as earlier:
Scoop was installed successfully!
Type 'scoop help' for instructions.
PS C:\Users\Kevin> scoop bucket rm main
PS C:\Users\Kevin> scoop bucket add main
WARN The main bucket of Scoop has been separated to 'https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main'
WARN You don't have the main bucket added, adding main bucket for you...

Here is the full error message. I didn't include it earlier because I didn't know if it would be anything.
Error given:

I'm facing the same error. Installed scoop several days ago and installed git, 7zip and neovim without problem. Then today when I tried to install nodejs-lts, I got this error. Now I can do nothing to scoop. I can't udpate, delete bucket or even uninstall scoop. I get all the same errors no matter what I do with scoop.

I had similar issues. What I had found was the error is misleading and it is because of dos commands erroring out. Take a look at the description here :
https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop/pull/3815
I would be curious as to whether that solves your problem.

@greg-hutchinson I still have not gotten this to work. Best I have gotten was to just remember all the things I wanted scoop to install, and do a fresh install and leave it be. I am thinking of getting away from scoop and just installing things the old fashioned way, like git and node/npm.
I would love to have a fix for this though.

@kevmul - A quick fix to try for now. If you find where scoop has installed
to (On my machine C:\Users\Greg\scoop\apps\scoop\current) and go into the
lib directory you should find a git.ps1 file.
Change the line in the function git_proxy_cmd (currently line 7)
from
& "$env:COMSPEC" /c $cmd
to this
& "$env:COMSPEC" /d /c $cmd
Note the /d switch. Save it and see if this solves the problem for you.
This switch just invokes the git command without an extra autostart
features. My guess is that you might have something also starting that is
causing an error.
Another good way to know if this might work is if you just start a command
window by itself do you also get a message at the top of the window.
In any case, this switch can't hurt, if you think it causes other problems
you can always take it out. Good luck - I would be curious to know if this
fixes things for you. It did for me.

@greg-hutchinson I just did the change and IT WORKED! The main bucket was able to be added successfully and I was able to do the scoop update! I was even able to install a new program with scoop!
Thank you so much for this! I will mark this as completed and solved.

Your Welcome @kevmul. Glad you can now keep using scoop 'cause it is a
great product.
I have submitted the fix already to the maintainers.
