Make the removal note user-executable.

$dir is a manifest-script variable, so the displayed note is not a command a user can paste into their shell. Since uninstall already imports uninstall-context.reg, change this to state that Scoop removes the context menu entry automatically on uninstall.

-				"To remove: reg import \"$dir\\uninstall-context.reg\"",
+				"Context-menu entry is removed automatically when Theia IDE is uninstalled",

PowerShell call operator ampersand non-existent command CommandNotFoundException

💡 Result:

When you use the PowerShell call operator (&) to execute a command that does not exist, PowerShell raises a CommandNotFoundException [1][2]. ### Understanding the Error By default, this is a non-terminating error [1][2]. This means that if the command fails, the PowerShell script or pipeline will continue executing the subsequent lines [1]. The error is reported to the error stream, but it does not stop the execution flow of your script [1][2]. ### How to Handle It If you need to treat this error as a terminating error or perform custom handling, you have several options: 1. Use $ErrorActionPreference: You can globally change the behavior by setting $ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'. This will escalate all non-terminating errors, including CommandNotFoundException, into terminating errors [1][2]. powershell $ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop' & non_existent_command # This will now throw a terminating error 2. Use try/catch blocks: If you want to handle the error gracefully within a specific section of your code, wrap the call in a try/catch block. Note that you must either set $ErrorActionPreference to 'Stop' or use the -ErrorAction Stop parameter on the command for it to be caught [1][2]. powershell try { & non_existent_command -ErrorAction Stop } catch [System.Management.Automation.CommandNotFoundException] { Write-Warning "Command not found, skipping..." } 3. Global CommandNotFoundAction: For advanced scenarios, you can define a custom hook that runs whenever any command is not found [3][4]. This is set via the $ExecutionContext.InvokeCommand.CommandNotFoundAction property [3][4]. powershell $ExecutionContext.InvokeCommand.CommandNotFoundAction = { param($Name, $EventArgs) Write-Error "Command '$Name' was not found." $EventArgs.StopSearch = $true } ### Common Causes of Unexpected CommandNotFoundException * Path Parsing Issues: If your path contains spaces and is not properly quoted, PowerShell may truncate the path at the space, causing it to look for a partial command that does not exist [5][6]. Always ensure full paths are quoted, such as & "C:\Path With Spaces\script.exe". * Incorrect Input: If the expression after the & operator does not evaluate to a string, script block, or CommandInfo object, you may encounter an InvalidOperation error instead [7][8]. Ensure the variable or expression correctly resolves to the path or object you intend to execute [7].

Fail clearly when registry integration cannot be completed.

reg import is invoked without checking failures, so missing scripts/templates, absent install-context.reg, or registry failures can leave Scoop reporting success while the context menu entries are not installed/removed. Require the scripts/theia-ide registry templates before copying and check the native command result for both install and uninstall imports, failing when registry integration cannot be completed.

In `@bucket/theia-ide.json` around lines 17 - 40, Update the post_install and
uninstaller scripts to fail explicitly when registry integration cannot
complete: require the expected scripts/theia-ide registry templates and
install-context.reg before copying or importing, and validate the native reg
import result for both install and uninstall, propagating failure instead of
allowing Scoop to report success.
