homebrew-cask: brew cask list fails for some formula

Done : pre bug report guide beforehand. Failure to do so might get your issue closed.

Description of issue

The command brew cask list <formula> fails with some casks, I believe this is related to pkg handling, as the issue is visible with formula java7 (java9-beta as well) but not firefox.

So, it’s still not intuitive as to what is wrong here?

Warning: Calling Hbc::DSL#license is deprecated! There is no replacement. /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Homebrew/cask/lib/hbc/dsl.rb:208:in `license’

This started out of the blue - I tend to do upgrades every day or two (worked fine until today) I am not doing any development work. I don’t have any brews or casks called dsl or hbc. I assume that they might be dependencies of something else, but not obvious how to determine what.

pquodling on Oct 9, 2016

brew cask uninstall aegisub && brew cask reinstall aegisub

@keevee09, this won’t do anything, because all casks are still using the license stanza as of now.

So… this is expected behaviour right?

Exactly.

reitermarkus on Oct 9, 2016

@RandomDSdevel @pquodling @keevee09 @CrCs2O4 The Hbc::DSL#license warning has been removed for now: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/pull/1241. brew update and you shouldn’t see it anymore.

So… this is expected behaviour right? We just wait for every cask to be relicensed to conform. I can live with that, not pretty but not broken.

keevee09 on Oct 9, 2016

@reitermarkus thanks for pointing this out! I cloned my dotfiles from MikeMcQuaid, and there were HOMEBREW_DEVELOPER=1

Now I can live with Warnings not Errors 😃

CrCs2O4 on Oct 9, 2016

I am also receiving the Hbc::DSL#license warning. When I run:

$ brew cask list

I get 35 Hbc Warnings; I have 35 casks installed. I have run:

$ brew cask uninstall aegisub && brew cask reinstall aegisub

but

$ brew cask info aegisub

Still gives me the Hbc::DSL#license warning:

Warning: Calling Hbc::DSL#license is deprecated!
There is no replacement.
/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Homebrew/cask/lib/hbc/dsl.rb:208:in `license'

I have also run:

$ brew uninstall --force brew-cask; brew untap phinze/cask; brew untap caskroom/cask; brew update; brew cleanup; brew cask cleanup

and:

$ cd "$(brew --repo)" && git fetch && git reset --hard origin/master && brew update

but are still experiencing the warnings.

keevee09 on Oct 9, 2016

@CrCs2O4, do you have HOMEBREW_DEVELOPER set? Otherwise this should only result in a Warning, not an Error.

reitermarkus on Oct 9, 2016

I have the same problem, how to fix the bug?

Error: Calling Hbc::DSL#license is deprecated!
There is no replacement.

No brew dev work

$ git config --get homebrew.devcmdrun

$ git describe --tags
1.0.6-61-gf71e4a7

CrCs2O4 on Oct 9, 2016

Yep, this was changed about two months ago.

reitermarkus on Oct 8, 2016

I installed these casks quite some time ago, maybe 6months ago or even more, could that be the issue?

(Still on a mobile device)

bric3 on Oct 8, 2016

The warnings about MacOS.release only appear if you have an older cask installed that is using it. All current casks are using MacOS.version, so of course you won’t see any warnings about that.

reitermarkus on Oct 8, 2016

@Brice Dutheil The last line is pointing to the file (path_base.rb) where the warning occurred. It is not an error, just a warning.

Should I reinstall the casks? Also is the last line an error? (Not familiar with ruby)

Hi, I don’t think as I didn’t check out master. I only used brew commands. I think cask command is now part of the brew repo right? I’m on a mobile device right now but I will update the issue once I’m on my laptop

bric3 on Oct 8, 2016

@vitorgalvao, actually, the MacOS.release warning was already released. But this is only a warning, not an error (unless you have set HOMEBREW_DEVELOPER), so you can either ignore it, or you can reinstall the casks that are using the deprecated methods.
