Before reporting a bug, lets make sure everything is right with your setup.
When reporting bugs, remember that Homebrew-Cask is an independent project from Homebrew. Do your best to direct bug reports to the appropriate project. If your command started with brew cask
, bring the bug to us first.
Start by searching for your issue before posting a new one. If you find an open issue and have any new information not reported in the original, please add your insights. If you find a closed issue, try the solutions there. If the issue is still not solved, open a new one with your new information and a link back to the old related issue.
If you did not find your particular bug, before reporting it make sure you have the latest versions of Homebrew, Homebrew-Cask, and all Taps by running the following commands. These will also fix some other issues:
$ cd $(brew --repo); git fetch; git reset --hard origin/master
$ brew untap caskroom/cask; brew cleanup; brew cask cleanup; brew update
Retry your failing command. If the issue persists, go back and pick the appropriate instructions for your problem.
