homebrew-cask: brew cask style failed

General troubleshooting steps

I have retried my command with --force and the issue is still present.
I have checked the instructions for reporting bugs.
I made doubly sure this is not a checksum does not match error.
I ran brew update-reset && brew update and retried my command.
I ran brew doctor, fixed as many issues as possible and retried my command.
I checked there are no open issues for the same problem.
I understand that if I ignore these instructions, my issue may be closed without review.

For those who still have issues with this as I did. I did this: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issues/4998#issuecomment-425566799 and it fixed it for me.

This is actually a bug in Mojave, so I’ll reopen this as a tracking issue.

Please stop discussing cask-repair in this context, as it only fills the issue with irrelevant information, making it harder to parse. cask-repair uses brew cask style directly, so it’s natural that if the latter fails, so does the former; and you fix the former by fixing the latter. There’s nothing wrong with cask-repair.

I have the same issue during installation

brew cask style --fix                                                                                                                                                                                    917ms  Mon 12 Nov 12:05:23 2018

I’m facing the same issue. I’ll add the output of the --debug flag:
