scala-cli scala-cli occasionally re-downloads same CLI version again

Version(s)

scala --version
Scala code runner version: 1.5.4
Scala version (default): 3.6.3

Describe the bug

I've aliased scala's cli version to 1.6.1 yet it sometimes re-downloads version 1.6.1 again despite having run the same command multiple times

To Reproduce

it's hard to reliably reproduce it, it happens around once a day.

scala --cli-version 1.6.1 -v -v -v

Details

scala --cli-version 1.6.1 -v -v -v

Welcome to Scala 3.6.3 (23.0.1, Java OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM).
Type in expressions for evaluation. Or try :help.

Expected behaviour

once installed cli version is not fetched again.

Feb 19 '25 12:02 scarf005

it's hard to reliably reproduce it, it happens around once a day. are there way to get debug log?

passing -v -v -v enables the maximum logging level. so far I haven't reproduced it. has anyone else run into this problem?

Feb 19 '25 12:02 Gedochao

i've reproduced it today: maybe scala-cli is just taking a lot of time between Fetching Scala CLI 1.6.1 and Fetching List which i mistook as "it downloading CLI again"?

Hmm... I was able to reproduce this today (so seemingly after the weekend? I tried daily last week, perhaps the interval was too short). Some insights:

the Fetching Scala CLI 1.6.1 line is printed once, and then not again
- this is the interesting part - is something fetched/verified here?
- it didn't actually take any noticable time here, so I don't think the full launcher would have been re-downloaded - but perhaps some network check is being done?
- the log originates here: https://github.com/VirtusLab/scala-cli/blob/c0a1ece67f0fa7f8331f8727581bf15aff92a8f3/modules/cli/src/main/scala/scala/cli/launcher/LauncherCli.scala#L39
- if nothing is actually being fetched, perhaps we could have more informative logs, so that people don't get triggered by this.
- this part might be worth further investigation
the extra fetching logs are for the REPL dependencies, and they are not actually actively fetched, and instead found locally, so that part is okay.
