Brief description of your issue

winget doesn't find updates to task.task beyond version 3.28 even though newer manifests are available, see go-task/task#1355

I suspect that this is because the newer manifests have PackageVersion: v3.xx.x instead of e.g. 3.28.0, i.e. that this is a manifest error. I just want to double check with someone from the winget team. Should this have been caught during manifest validation?

winget-pkgs/manifests/t/Task/Task/v3.30.1/Task.Task.installer.yaml

Line 4 in ca73312

PackageVersion: v3.30.1

NB task has a NestedInstallerType: portable.

Steps to reproduce

After installing task 3.28.0 to the Sandbox:

DisplayName DisplayVersion Publisher ProductCode              Scope
----------- -------------- --------- -----------              -----
Task        3.28.0         Task      Task.Task__DefaultSource User

PS C:\Users\WDAGUtilityAccount\Desktop\winget-pkgs> winget upgrade task.task
No available upgrade found.
No newer package versions are available from the configured sources.
PS C:\Users\WDAGUtilityAccount\Desktop\winget-pkgs> winget show task.task
Found Task [Task.Task]
Version: 3.28.0
Publisher: Task
[...]

Actual behavior

If I install one of the newer versions in the Sandbox, and run winget upgrade afterwards, winget offers 3.28.0 as an update for v3.30.0, which is obviously not correct.

PS C:\Users\WDAGUtilityAccount\Desktop\winget-pkgs> winget upgrade

Name           Id             Version       Available     Source

Task           Task.Task      v3.30.0       3.28.0        winget

Expected behavior

winget ought to find versions >3.28.0

This does seem like an error with the manifests, although it is also related to

Now that #121213 has been merged I see

PS C:\> winget search task.task
Name Id        Version Source
------------------------------
Task Task.Task 3.30.1  winget

So this can be closed AFAICT
