fastlane: Can't uninstall fastlane, binaries are still installed

I’m trying to brew install fastlane, but first I want to remove the old version (which I didn’t install). I’ve tried

gem uninstall faslane
sudo gem uninstall faslane
I’ve tried downloading the installer and running uninstall
I’ve removed the rbenv stuff from my ~/.bash_profile

But when I run fastlane --version i get _fastlane 1.105.2. And which fastlane give me /usr/local/bin/fastlane

(And running fastlane env just gives me an error)

echo $PATH
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_101.jdk/Contents/Home/bin:/Volumes/data-ssd/java-bin/apache-maven-3.2.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

ls -alrt /usr/local/bin/ reveals:

Where did these come from? And which uninstaller would get rid of them? Is it possible which ever uninstaller is responsible, it’s failing because some of these executables are owned by root?

The following worked for me:

uninstall with brew/gem
clone https://github.com/fastlane/packaged-fastlane
run ./uninstall from packaged-fastlane folder

Not sure if I found them all, but this is what I did…

I started with the list of “executables” from the website, then ran:

grep -l fastlane /usr/local/bin/*

to find the helper ones that contain a note about being part of fastlane.

Below is the complete script I used to get rid of everything:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

rm /usr/local/bin/{produce,\
cert,\
sigh,\
snapshot,\
fastlane,\
fastlane-credentials,\
frameit,\
gym,\
deliver,\
pem,\
spaceship,\
pilot,\
boarding,\
match,\
scan,\
🚀,\
💪,\
🎉}

UPDATE: I found a couple more emoji binaries. They said they were installed by gym, I assume as part of the fastlane gem instal.

NOTE: If you edit the command, don’t leave any extra spaces anywhere as bash gets confused.
