Old paket bootstrap (renamed to paket.exe) overwrites itself in magic mode

[firepol]

We had an old version of paket (v5.89.1) in our Visual Studio 2017 solution placed under .paket/paket.exe .
To integrate paket in our solution we followed the manual setup described here: https://fsprojects.github.io/Paket/bootstrapper.html#Magic-mode
We renamed paket.bootstrapper.exe to paket.exe, and committed that small file in our repo.
Till today everything was working fine, but...

since a few hours (10:00 a.m. UTC time) I notice in git that paket.exe is modified with an 8MB file.

1. That 8MB seems wrong to me (I never saw it before in the modified files in my git repo).
2. I replaced the 8MB (v5.124.0) paket.exe file with the v5.124.0 bootstrap version downloaded from the releases (reanamd to paket.exe).

Now when we build our solution in jenkins we get this error:

D:\Jenkins\workspace\ourjob-LYTTIO32I6RRIUVA4EU6K6DDM7HAHVCU7X7IELNVOBPILBIV7M2A\src\.paket\paket.targets(65,5): error MSB3073: The command ""D:\Jenkins\workspace\ourjob-LYTTIO32I6RRIUVA4EU6K6DDM7HAHVCU7X7IELNVOBPILBIV7M2A\src\.paket\paket.exe" restore --references-file "D:\Jenkins\workspace\ourjob-LYTTIO32I6RRIUVA4EU6K6DDM7HAHVCU7X7IELNVOBPILBIV7M2A\src\OurProject\paket.references"" exited with code -2146232576. [D:\Jenkins\workspace\ourjob-LYTTIO32I6RRIUVA4EU6K6DDM7HAHVCU7X7IELNVOBPILBIV7M2A\src\OurProject\OurProject.csproj]

Expected behaviors:

• magic mode should have worked as it worked so far, not overwriting our paket.exe file and forcing us to replace it again with the bootstrap.
• the newest paket.exe bootstrap should keep restoring the nuget packages as it always did, not throwing that error.

Maybe you are aware of this, but we didn't really see an issue for this, thus I'm filing it for reference, hope this helps. Cheers.

Not really sure what happened here, but there is a new bootstrapper available since today. I assume someone mistakenl committed a paket.exe? Anyway please download latest bootstrapper.

Hi, the thing is that I got the error above downloading the latest bootstrapper released today at around the time I noticed it showing up in my git repo:

https://github.com/fsprojects/Paket/releases/tag/5.124.0 (latest version today)

This is the file I downloaded: https://github.com/fsprojects/Paket/releases/download/5.124.0/paket.bootstrapper.exe and this is the file generating the error in jenkins. Unless you tell me this file got updated again in the meantime, this won't fix our issue. We reverted to v5.89.1 because that was working fine in our build system.

the paket.bootstrapper.exe is 62.8 KB - that seems correct, I also tested it manually.
Are you sure that there is no human error involved? Can you repro?
