[Bug]: VisualStudio updating even though in excluded list because incorrect ID?

[ztrhgf]

The problem

I don't understand how is this possible, but Visual Studio 2022 gets updated even though in excluded list. The reason for this is incorrect ID as can be seen on the following screenshot.

What version of WAU has the issue?

1.19.1

What version of Windows are you using (ex. Windows 11 22H2)?

Windows 10 22H2

What version of winget are you using?

v1.6.3482

This seems to be due to the "long" name that is truncated. You've probably blacklisted "Microsoft.VisualStudio.2022.Professional" but WAU sees "Microsoft.VisualStudio.2022.Professio". This is probably a "winget" limitation on the consol output. We need to investigate furthermore, but I think this is the main reason.

With the latest pre-release you can put Microsoft.VisualStudio.2022.* in the list. That should fix it I guess

When do you expect to release this version publicly?

[Romanitho]

I think we can now, it is stable enough.

Lovely.

Can we use wildcards for example with docker and python also? Didn't notice they was supported.

[Romanitho]

Yes you can. Readme is maybe not up to date. Very busy at the moment 😅

I think I now know why IDs may be truncated. We capture the console output, such a virtual window has its own dimensions. e.g. for CMD, the default is 80 characters x 25 lines. When we call WINGET to generate a table, in the case of longer names it tries to stretch the columns to make it look neater. When the first name column is long enough, the ID for products such as VS2022Prof will be shortened because the current, available version and repository columns will always be visible.

It seems that the only way to capture the full, "untruncated" list/table is to redefine the default dimensions of the console that will be used to iterate with (&WINGET)

Something similar to this approach would be required to avoid wildcarded situation
