version regex

[clatko]

This should probably be brought up in the main asdf community, but a semver regex should be applied for installation. With kubectl plugin I can do asdf install kubectl 1.8, then it becomes pretty difficult to purge my machine of this faulty version number.

This is related to asdf-vm/asdf#216

This should already be handled by the default latest command provided by asdf.

@DustinChaloupka asdf latest essentially runs tail on the list-all result.

asdf-vm/asdf#763 tracks work to make asdf latest defer to the plugin so more complex situations can be supported. If the upstream changes from semver to v-prefixed semver or vice versa, then the core isn't going to know which is the latest without knowledge of the upstream, hence, the plugin author is best to make these decisions and the 763 will accomodate this workflow for proper ordering.

[DustinChaloupka]

This plugin sorts the versions which are semver formatted and do not have a v prefix, so the fallback mechanism from the implementation of asdf-vm/asdf#736 would still allow this plugin to correctly give the latest version. Am I missing something?

[jthegedus]

@DustinChaloupka Indeed you are correct. Sorry, I may have replied to the wrong issue.

[DustinChaloupka]

No worries!
