[BUG] aztec-up reports success but does not install requested version

[ivanpeng-sh]

What are you trying to do?

Our CI checks which run a clean install of aztec-up started failing yesterday. Upon further review, we noticed that this command:

aztec-up -v 3.0.0-devnet.6-patch.1

succeeded immediately but did not pull nor install the specified aztec docker image. Subsequent commands (e.g. aztec compile) then fail because the latest image tag was implicitly used instead, which looks like a 2.1.x release which did not have this command.

Upon further review, we identified the root cause to be in the aztec-up install script, at this specific block:

if curl --head --silent --fail "$install_url" > /dev/null; then
  bash <(curl -s "$install_url")
else
  echo "Error: Install script not found at $install_url"
  echo "Please check the version specified."
  exit 1
fi

$install_url now redirects via https://install.aztec.network. I have confirmed the URL works via browser, and curl does not follow redirects unless specified. As a result, the script is not actually downloaded nor executed. Despite this, the script exits successfully, and causes issues further down when we run commands that assume the specified aztec version is installed, when in reality the version is not present.

Code Reference

To repro, from a fresh install, including images uninstalled and docker images pruned:

bash -i <(curl -sL https://install.aztec.network)
aztec-up -v 3.0.0-devnet.6-patch.1
echo $?  # will respond with 0/success but exit immediately
docker images | grep aztec # target image version will not be found

Aztec Version

3.0.0-devnet.6-patch.1

OS

Mac/Linux

Browser (if relevant)

No response

Node Version

No response

Additional Context

Our current (hacky) workaround is to just run a sed command to add the -L to ensure that curl follows the redirects.

      - name: Install Aztec
        run: |
          curl -sL https://install.aztec.network | SKIP_PULL=1 bash
          echo "$HOME/.aztec/bin" >> $GITHUB_PATH
          sed -i 's|curl -s |curl -sL |g' $HOME/.aztec/bin/aztec-up
      - name: Install Aztec (cont'd)
        run: aztec-up -v 3.0.0-devnet.6-patch.1

bumping this up, facing same issue. I tried reinstalling the toolchain as well but still it defaults to 2.1.9 version.
Due to this, I'm not able to compile my aztec.nr contracts as well

$ aztec compile
error: unknown command 'compile'

Similarly the aztec test fails as well giving a bunch of #[must_use] errors.

Hey @ivanpeng-sh and @AnmolBansalDEV , thanks for filing this! Apologies for the delay. This should work now if you

export VERSION=3.0.0-devnet.6-patch.1
bash -i <(curl -sL https://install.aztec.network/3.0.0-devnet.6-patch.1)
aztec-up

Feel free to reopen if you still have issues 👍
