If this is all you did: this is not enough.
Can you still reproduce brew doctor message and PATH output this in a new shell after installation?

2 years ago Hey @MikeMcQuaid ! Thanks for that callout. I also added the following to .zshrc and forgot to add it to the ticket. Adding it now.
export PATH="/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH"
export PATH="/opt/homebrew/sbin:$PATH"The brew doctor and PATH output is what i'm getting right now after a couple of restarts.

2 years ago I can reproduce this with:
❯ brew doctor check_user_path_2
Please note that these warnings are just used to help the Homebrew maintainers
with debugging if you file an issue. If everything you use Homebrew for is
working fine: please don't worry or file an issue; just ignore this. Thanks!
Warning: Homebrew's "bin" was not found in your PATH.
Consider setting your PATH for example like so:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
❯ echo $PATH | rg -q ':/usr/local/bin:' && echo "Homebrew bin present"
Homebrew bin presentOddly, the check_user_path_2 warning does not appear with just brew doctor.
Edit: Ah, never mind. check_user_path_2 needs to be run after check_user_path_1 in order to work.

2 years ago What's the output of
brew ruby -e 'require "utils"; puts paths'?

2 years ago Output is the following:
$ brew ruby -e 'require "utils"; puts paths'
/opt/homebrewAh. Do
unset HOMEBREW_PATHUse HOMEBREW_PREFIX if you want an environment variable that refers to /opt/homebrew.
You also may want to avoid setting anything HOMEBREW_* that isn't documented in man brew, as that has the potential to break things.

2 years ago Hey @carlocab . That fixed it, thank you!
I'd like to understand why unsetting that env variable fixed it, and how you were able to debug that. Now that you've called it out, I do see that the setup scripts that my place has set up does run export HOMEBREW_PATH='/opt/homebrew'. How were you able to tell that the env variable was set and that it was a problem?

2 years ago Homebrew copies certain important environment variables into HOMEBREW_-prefixed ones...unless the latter already exists: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/721a27d68d63775176567ecba6c4a5b793130618/bin/brew#L76-L88
Because you set HOMEBREW_PATH, brew did not copy your existing PATH, so brew doctor examined your HOMEBREW_PATH and went "wait, where's my bin directory?"

If you need to keep your HOMEBREW_PATH variable (since you suggested this was something you didn't personally set), you can also do
alias brew="HOMEBREW_PATH= brew"@gromgit @carlocab I wonder if we should explicitly unset HOMEBREW_PATH in bin/brew?
gromgit
commented
2 years ago That's probably a good idea. All the "derived" variables listed are either;
HOMEBREW_EDITOR), or HOMEBREW_TMUX)except HOMEBREW_PATH.

HOMEBREW_PATHinbin/brew?
I'm not necessarily opposed to it, but this would be a bit like playing whack-a-mole. I recall users having problems from setting other HOMEBREW_* variables too. I think it was HOMEBREW_PREFIX.

We chose to namespace our variable to prevent further collisions. Based on the convo and in retrospect, we should've done that to prevent collisions that we weren't aware of at the time and moving forward.

brew updateand am still able to reproduce my issue.brew doctorand that did not fix my problem.What were you trying to do (and why)?
I tried running
brew servicesto begin to run Redis, and received errors while trying to do so. I then ranbrew doctorto attempt to debug the cause, which lead me to the bin/sbin PATH error.What happened (include all command output)?
What did you expect to happen?
Based on my $PATH, I would've expected that I wouldn't have received an error about
/opt/homebrew/binor/opt/homebrew/sbinnot being in my PATH.Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running
