May 07 17:47:09.380 ERROR Error: missing field `tag_name` at line 1 column 280

Sorry, am I misunderstanding the syntax here?

Hello! This is quite an interesting issue that i have never seen before. Could you try perhaps downloading other versions and see if you get the same error? It seems that when bob request the stable version github api's doesnt provide the tag_name field in the sent JSON

I can't really find a solution/fix it unless you give me more info regarding this issue

This is happening when there is no proper tag on github. Currently I'm trying to install latest nightly, but it's missing https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases

Happened to me as well when I uninstalled nightly, for some reason bob couldn't delete all of the binary files so the directory was not deleted, and there was no bob.json file so it probably thought that nightly is still installed. You should add a verification that if bob.json doesn't exist, or is empty, delete the entire nightly (or which ever version) directory and let the install process create it again.
