Auto re-link packages #41

Closed whazor closed 3 years ago

whazor commented 3 years ago

I had an issue when starting node.js, when starting the library was not loaded. I had to: brew unlink node && brew link node.

Would it be possible to automate re-linking?

It should be done already by Homebrew. This tool doesn't actually touch anything the brew tool does itself, it just passes the update or upgrade command (whichever ones the user requested at launch) onto brew at specified time intervals and retains the logs locally.

I suspect you might have had an issue with node that happened during the upgrade but wasn't caused by this tool. You should be able to check:

cat ~/Library/Logs/com.github.domt4.homebrew-autoupdate/com.github.domt4.homebrew-autoupdate.out

Closing as resolved but feel free to get back to me if you think the issue is related to this tap/tool specifically.
