/usr/local/Cellar/brew-cask/0.49.0 not getting updated?

[mkillianey]

Not sure if this is a homebrew issue or a homebrew-cask issue, but here's the report:

The command brew cask install intellij-idea stopped working for me, and in trying to debug the problem, it looks like there's two out-of-sync copies of this repo, one at /usr/local/Cellar/brew-cask/0.49.0 and one at /usr/local/Library/Taps/caskroom/homebrew-cask. The one in the Cellar is not getting updated.

Here's the error I see when trying to install intellij-idea:

brew cask install intellij-idea
==> Caveats
intellij-idea may require Java 7 (an older version) available from the
caskroom-versions repository via

  brew cask install caskroom/versions/java7

Alternatively, intellij-idea can be modified to use Java 8 as described in

The following sequence seems to have made it possible for me to install the intellij-idea cask:

brew untap caskroom/cask
brew uninstall brew-cask
brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask
brew cask install intellij-idea

FWIW, after doing this, I still see two copies of the repo:

$ find /usr/local -name intellij-idea.rb
/usr/local/Cellar/brew-cask/0.50.0/Casks/intellij-idea.rb
/usr/local/Library/Taps/caskroom/homebrew-cask/Casks/intellij-idea.rb

And they seem to be out of sync:

Hope that helps anyone who experiences a similar problem?

Hi!

This is a duplicate of #7946.

We just merged a fix and cut release v0.50.0. The following command should fix the issue:

$ brew update && brew upgrade brew-cask && brew cleanup && brew cask cleanup

Thanks for the quick response!
