Bug: OpenCode throws error when attempting to update mise-managed installations #36572
Closed as not planned
Description
Description
OpenCode correctly detects that an update is available when installed through mise, but selecting Update now fails because mise is not recognized as an installation method.
The TUI shows a generic Update failed message, while the underlying upgrade request fails with Unknown installation method: unknown.
The running binary is installed at a path like:
~/.local/share/mise/installs/opencode/1.17.18/opencode
I would expect OpenCode to delegate the update to mise and update whichever mise config selected the running version.
Plugins
No response
OpenCode version
1.17.18
Steps to reproduce
- Install and pin an older OpenCode version with mise
- Set
autoupdateto"notify" - Open OpenCode and select Update now
- Observe that the update fails and the mise-managed version does not change

Is this a related issue? I'm using the OpenCode app in HomeAssistant, which fails when attempting to update itself. Big Pickle found this:
a bug in OpenCode's web UI updater. It couldn't detect that OpenCode was installed via npm to /usr/local (a non-standard prefix). The updater likely only checks the default npm prefix (/data/.npm-global) and doesn't account for custom global prefixes.

Thanks for the report! OpenCode 2.0 is now out and development is focused on V2, so we're closing issues filed against OpenCode 1. Please upgrade (
opencode upgrade --major, details: https://anoma.ly/notes/opencode-2-0), and if this is still relevant on 2.0, reopen this issue or open a new one with your 2.0 version.— from 𝕺𝖕𝖊𝖓𝕮𝖔𝖉𝖊
