arkmanager installmod [modid] fails to install: Success. Downloaded item ... Mod... was not successfully downloaded #1281
Description
When I do arkmanager installmod [modid] it says that it downloads the mod successfully but then immediately says it was not successfully downloaded:
Success. Downloaded item `2307661303 to "/home/steam/.steam/SteamApps/workshop/content/346110/2307661303" (24589452 bytes) quit
Mod 2307661303 was not successfully downloaded
I originally reported this here SickHub/arkserver#27 . There might be more relevant details there.
Using that image I encountered this error when it tried to (re-)install a mod at start (after the mods were removed for an unknown reason):

These logs come from here:
ark-server-tools/tools/arkmanager
Line 2689 in a05d763
I eventually worked around the issue by changing this line:
ark-server-tools/tools/arkmanager
Line 2689 in a05d763
to this (to try to remove any ansi escape sequences):
modsrcdir="$(echo "$output" | sed -n 's@Success. Downloaded item [0-9][0-9]* to "\([^"]*\)" .*@\1@p' | sed -r "s/\x1B\[(([0-9]{1,2})?(;)?([0-9]{1,2})?)?[m,K,H,f,J]//g")"
And reinstalling the mods with arkmanager installmod ..., before restarting. To
It appears that steamcmd now includes ANSIs escape sequence
You can reproduce this by doing this in a container (I'm basically replicating what arkmanager does):
$ source $(which arkmanager)
$ output=$(runSteamCMDspinnerSubst 2 +workshop_download_item "346110" "1404697612")
$ modsrcdir="$(echo "$output" | sed -n 's@^Success. Downloaded item [0-9][0-9]* to "\([^"]*\)" .*@\1@p')"
$ echo "$modsrcdir"
$ modsrcdir="$(echo "$output" | sed -n 's@Success. Downloaded item [0-9][0-9]* to "\([^"]*\)" .*@\1@p')"
$ echo "$modsrcdir"
