release de sem assets

Error message

release de {} sem assets

What it means

`latest_asset` parsed the latest release JSON but the `assets` field is missing or not an array, so there is nothing to pick from. The library treats a release without an assets array as a hard failure since it cannot download anything.

Solutions

1. Check the latest release page on GitHub for the repo and confirm it has attached binaries
2. If the latest release is source-only, wait for/pin to a previous release that has assets
3. Inspect the raw API response (curl https://api.github.com/repos/{repo}/releases/latest) to see the actual shape
4. Add a GitHub token and re-fetch to rule out a truncated rate-limited response

Example fix

// before
let assets = json["assets"].as_array().ok_or_else(|| anyhow!("release de {} sem assets", repo))?;
// after
if json["assets"].as_array().map_or(true, |a| a.is_empty()) {
    // fall back to listing all releases and picking one with assets
    return pick_release_with_assets(&client, repo).await;
}

let json: serde_json::Value = client.get(url).send().await?.json().await?;
let has_assets = json["assets"].as_array().map_or(false, |a| !a.is_empty());
if !has_assets { eprintln!("latest release has no assets; consider older release"); }

match latest_asset(&client, repo, pick).await {
    Err(e) if e.to_string().contains("sem assets") => pick_from_older_releases(&client, repo, pick).await,
    other => other,
}

When it happens

Trigger: The latest GitHub release for the repo has no assets, or the API response shape changed (e.g. an error body that still passed the status check).

Common situations: A repo published a source-only release (no binaries); a draft or odd release marked latest; GitHub API schema change or a cached/proxied malformed response.
