It not advised to upgrade to OS X 10.10 by homebrew themselves. https://twitter.com/MacHomebrew/status/473727200118976512. I think it's not an easy fix by now.

tcarlsen · 2014-06-04T06:45:51Z

homebrew is working just fine now Homebrew/legacy-homebrew#29795 (reference)

kreeger · 2014-06-04T13:51:33Z

I'm getting identical issues to all those above. My install of homebrew didn't work under Yosemite yesterday morning – they patched things up throughout the day and now it appears to work just fine. I was able to install tons and tons of recipes on a fresh install of Yosemite.

It'd be great to get brew-cask working again. I miss it already! (I don't know enough about homebrew's inner workings yet, otherwise I'd submit a PR. 🍻 to who does, though!)

rolandwalker · 2014-06-04T14:47:53Z

Hi! Thanks for the data points.

I would love to get this working, but don't yet have access to a Yosemite VM. There are some useful clues above; maybe we will be able to figure it out. It's certainly odd that /usr/local/Library/Taps/caskroom/homebrew-cask/Casks does not exist. What's under /usr/local/Library/Taps ?

nanoxd · 2014-06-04T14:51:35Z

@tcarlsen Was this on a new install? I have it installed as well and had no issue getting brew cask to work:

kreeger · 2014-06-04T16:52:01Z

I'm wondering if @tcarlsen's and my issue is separate from that of the original poster. For me, the homebrew-cask directories exist just fine, but the brew command refuses to accept that brew cask exists. I'm using zsh, for what it's worth.

I can devote more time to tracing this down later on today — it's definitely odd.

tcarlsen · 2014-06-04T18:39:06Z

@nanoxd

amdprophet · 2014-06-04T18:39:55Z

@tcarlsen I'm getting the same issue.

nanoxd · 2014-06-04T19:22:48Z

@kreeger I believe it is. Can either @tcarlsen or you create a new issue?

@acgetchell Have you tried going into $(brew --prefix) and doing a manual git pull/git status? Here is what I get from brew cask doctor after performing a cleanup:

I can't reproduce this issue on a different machine either. Could you provide some more information on the system?

Was it a fresh install?
Did you upgrade from 10.9?
- Did you update/upgrade homebrew before installing Yosemite?
Did you use the official homebrew fix for 10.10?
Going into /usr/local/Library/Taps/caskroom/homebrew-cask/ what files do you see?
What shell is this in? Have you tried a different one and with what result?

kreeger · 2014-06-04T19:55:00Z

@nanoxd @tcarlsen I'm on it.

alebcay · 2014-06-19T00:08:19Z

It seems there's a problem with the way Homebrew's taps are being handled in Yosemite, and not an inherent problem with Cask itself. Regardless, could you also show brew untap caskroom/cask ; brew tap caskroom/cask and ls -la /usr/local/Library/Taps/caskroom/homebrew-cask?

rolandwalker · 2014-06-19T00:13:18Z

Hi @acgetchell !

I didn't realize this was still a problem. I guess I got it mixed up with #4685.

Some of the hard-to-diagnose problems we have seen recently were solved with cleanup:

$ brew cleanup && brew cask cleanup

Also, I've been adding some new diagnostics to brew cask doctor, but they aren't in the release yet:
#4965, #4963.

acgetchell · 2014-06-19T00:23:55Z

Fixed!

brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask

fixed it for me. still a problem on a fresh install.

yildizib · 2014-11-09T13:55:03Z

$ brew cleanup && brew cask cleanup
$ brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask

solved my problem...

gerrywastaken · 2014-12-07T23:58:59Z

That didn't fix my issue, but this did: Homebrew/legacy-homebrew#29843 (comment)

romant · 2014-12-28T22:31:08Z

Thank you @yildizib. That did the trick.

System
$ brew --version
0.9.5
OSX - 10.10.2 (14C81h)

olivernadj · 2015-03-16T10:20:47Z

i had problem with line ending. what caused the similar error message

$ brew cask
Error: No such file or directory - brew-cask

$ brew-cask
-bash: /usr/local/bin/brew-cask: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

so i removed /Library/Caches/Homebrew/brew-cask--git/ folder and changed git config to git config --global core.autocrlf input

after that i run untap, tap and reinstall and it works well now.

see: #9807

Cask is not recognised correctly on clean Yosemite installs. This is due to a weird compounding error as discussed in [homebrew/4667](Homebrew/homebrew-cask#4667)

wangwenchao · 2015-05-20T06:48:29Z

all u have to do is reinstall it from the beginning:

brew uninstall caskroom/cask/brew-cask
brew uptap --> brew tap --> brew install

UkiyoESoragoto · 2015-06-29T02:58:47Z

brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask

THX! it is work

supersloth · 2015-09-17T20:51:26Z

uninstalling and then running:
$ brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask
worked for me as well.

it's kinda strange how it's not really clear the differences between:
$ brew install cask
$ brew install brew-cask
$ brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask

of which i ran into examples using all three interchangeably when looking for a solution to this.

alebcay · 2015-09-17T22:30:00Z

brew install cask installs this emacs project management tool. brew install brew-cask and brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask do the same thing in theory, but Homebrew sometimes does some weird crap if you don't specify the full repo path (caskroom/cask/brew-cask).

pau1m · 2015-11-30T15:12:54Z

brew link brew-cask fixed it for me

habemusne · 2016-07-09T17:53:26Z

@acgetchell You script works perfect! Thanks!

adidalal · 2016-07-09T18:44:23Z

@masculine and others who run into this issue:

You shouldn't need to tap anything manually, we're now kept up-to-date with Homebrew itself.
To make sure/if you have any issues, first try:

brew update; brew cleanup; brew cask cleanup
brew uninstall --force brew-cask; brew update

Else, there's a nuclear option here.

As always, the reporting bugs guide will have the most up-to-date troubleshooting directions, check there first.
