• I duplicated your report in Responding n to "Do you want to continue?" produces stack trace #601 because I overlooked it.

Just as a suggestion for the future: if you post error logs, then posting text is better than posting screenshots, because text can be searched.

Thanks for pointing that out and for the suggestion! I’ve updated the description.

So the comment in the closed issue #601 does not get lost / overlooked:

It's a bug; UsageError instances are supposed to be "pretty printed" on abort, but in the case of the shims we bypass the Clipanion runner. We need to wrap executePackageManagerRequest into a try..catch and replace the error w/ process.stdout.write(cli.error(error)); return 1; (after hoisting const cli = new Cli outside of the if it's currently in).
