Description

https://github.com/luckyframework/avram/blob/b3feadcc93d48ec1ee24c4a33f4eeaf5b089ee20/script/precompile_tasks#L9

I'm running `shards install --ignore-crystal-version` which works OK, except for when it gets to `postinstall` (defined in `shard.yml`). This runs `shards build` and fails because of an apparent *Crystal* version resolution failure.

I suggest `--ignore-crystal-version` be passed to any `shards` call in such scripts. This should leave the developer to decide in their own `shards install` call whether or not to ignore *Crystal* version. If the developer does not supply this argument and *Crystal* version resolution fails, `postinstall` won't run, so we're still covered.

Also applies to *Lucky*: https://github.com/luckyframework/lucky/blob/e2b15e75d522ecd82976945d83f991e1f967c6c3/script/precompile_tasks#L6, and probably more repos.

Research direction

Start with script/precompile_tasks at the linked line and inspect the postinstall command in shard.yml. Verify how shards build handles the Crystal version when install was invoked with --ignore-crystal-version. Done means the postinstall build uses that flag and succeeds in the reported scenario.
