rtx ls takes 10 seconds

ubuntu@ubuntu2204:~/ $ time rtx ls --verbose

fyi: without global config file ~/.config/rtx/config.toml

after I add these lines:

$ cat ~/.config/rtx/config.toml
[settings]
plugin_autoupdate_last_check_duration = '1 week' # set to 0 to disable updates

Is there any environment variables like RTX_UPDATE_CHECK, RTX_PLUGINS_UPDATE_CHECK ?

it's timing out checking for new node versions. You can customize this with RTX_FETCH_REMOTE_VERSIONS_TIMEOUT=10s.

[dfang]

thanks. but this is not what I mean.

for the best performance, I don't want auto check for rtx itself, rtx-plugins, rtx-apps(node,go that installed by rtx plugin), especially when I run rtx ls. I think only checking for new versions when rtx ls-remote xxx or rtx outdated is reasonable. and if I want to update, I will run rtx self-update and rtx plugin update for myself.

so it would be great if there are some default environment like RTX_UPDATE_CHECK, RTX_PLUGINS_UPDATE_CHECK, RTX_APPS_UPDATE_CHECK with default value 0.

what do you think?

[jdx]

there are no such checks

[dfang]

close ?

I don't understand why check new node versions when rtx ls, however I've upgraded rtx, I can't reproduce this issue.

there are no such checks

hi @jdxcode if there are no checks why gnutls_handshake() failed when I run rtx install [email protected]

[jdx]

When you install something it checks for new versions

[dfang]

I don't think it's necessary, at least I don't want this feature, and it may fail because of network issue. is there a way to disable this feature currently?

[ineu]

Automatic checks for updates might be convenient, but are definitely not something that should block the user's workflow. And when a shell takes 10 seconds just to launch in case of a poor internet connection, it does block the workflow. So there definitely should be an option to disable the checks at least for rtx ls or shell hooks, i.e. operations that do not need the internet connection. Obviously, rtx install or rtx ls-remote are useless without the internet connection, so such an option should be ignored in these commands.

[jdx]

I have not heard of any new reports about this so I assume it's resolved
