Requested in https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/issues/2680
for deployments with a stock `.pyenv-version` that can use any
of a number of Python versions
and for compatibility with `uv`.
* Support `pyenv local --force`
* Support `pyenv-version-file-write --force`
* Support `pyenv version-name --force`
* Ignore missing versions when searching for executables
* Display "commmand not found" even when there are nonexistent versions
* exec.bats: replace `python` and `rspec` with something that doesn't exist globally, either
in Ubuntu Github CI, `python` exists globally
Fixes use of version specifiers like `python-3.12`, which:
- have an explicit `python-` prefix
- are using a major version alias that has to be resolved
to an exact version.
Also simplified the conditional for the already
working case, since it had two branches that were virtually identical.
Expose a `version-name` hook.
It is invoked *after* the traditional `RBENV_VERSION` lookup. Which means hook scripts can interrogate `$RBENV_VERSION_FILE` and/or `$RBENV_VERSION` (or use the executables).
The hooks are then run, giving plugins a chance to alter `RBENV_VERSION`. Once the hooks have run, we now have (in `$RBENV_VERSION`) the actual version we want to use (or it's empty which defaults to `system` per normal). Lastly, the same logic remains for checking if the version exists, or trimming the `ruby-` prefix.
Prime example: the ruby-bundler-ruby-version plugin can select a ruby by using the `ruby` directive from the `Gemfile` if a local `.ruby-version` doesn't exist.
When we started to support reading `.ruby-version` files, we made a
commitment to not support fuzzy version matching. Treating "ruby-2.1.5"
as "2.1.5" is a sort of fuzzy matching, so we put in place a warning
telling you to remove the extraneous "ruby-" prefix popularly used by
other Ruby version managers to denote MRI. (Their logic is that MRI is
"ruby" and other rubies are not "ruby", apparently.)
However, people are often not able to remove the prefix in their
projects because they want to support other coworkers and tools that
sadly still require the prefix, like RubyMine.
So to restore sanity for a big portion of our users, the warning is gone.
