Issue with xcode command line tools & mongodb compass

[ljizzard]

The laptop script seem to be pointing to an "out of date" version of xcode command line tools.
error "can't download the software because of a network problem"
Have to go to developer.apple and manually install before the script can be run. Could someone look into this please?
It doesn't seem to be related to the OS. Both Mojave and Catalina have the same issue.
Tried xcode -select --install
Sudo xcode -select --install
Basically google/stack overflow has been my friend, but the only way that works is manually.

There was some suggestion having the laptop plugged in might fix this. Has that been tried?

Need a lot more details on what's happening. I noticed that the message to continue unplugged is hiding behind the window that says "downloading" or whatever - is that this same issue?

[ljizzard]

That doesn't work, unfortunately. All 3 I've done today have been plugged in but still getting the problem.
If they're not plugged in install bar just freezes, due to the dialogue box behind.
This error occurs when they are plugged in and only happens with re-installs after the new OS is installed. The OS doesn't make a difference

I can't get it to replicate once the script is run, but it can only be run once the command line tools are downloaded manually from developer.apple

Workaround for now in branch fix/dev-tools-download https://github.com/codeclan/laptop/tree/fix/dev-tools-download

[colin-riddell]

To use this workaround:

curl --remote-name https://raw.githubusercontent.com/codeclan/laptop/fix/dev-tools-download/mac
sh mac

This works. Can we update the readme?
