Bug Report: Ghost Cask Not Found

[merktassel]

(Remembered to run brew update; brew cleanup; brew cask cleanup before reporting my issue. It didn't fix things.)

Description of issue

I tried installing Ghost via brew cask install ghost today but got an error:

Error: No available Cask for ghost. Did you mean one of:
cyberghost  ghostlab

I figured the cask must not've been created yet, so I decided to fork the repository and add it myself. However, I noticed the file already existed and looked good to go. Is there a reason why this Cask isn't showing up in the CLI?

Output of brew cask install ghost --verbose

Error: No available Cask for ghost
Error: nothing to install
Error: Kernel.exit

Output of brew doctor

Your system is ready to brew.

brew cask install ghost

[merktassel]

That's my bad, I actually did type in brew cask install ghost and got that output. Sorry for the confusion.

[adidalal]

Please always follow the reporting bugs guide. To do so, edit the top post and then comment after this one so I can check back. Thanks.

[merktassel]

Done!

[adidalal]

This is pretty weird and I can't duplicate.

Can you run brew tap caskroom/cask and retry?

Else if you're okay with wiping cask, see:

The "nuclear" option is:

# NOTE: this will wipe homebrew-cask and installed Casks
brew uninstall brew-cask
brew untap caskroom/cask
sudo rm -rf '/opt/homebrew-cask'
brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask

[vitorgalvao]

Try running just

brew uninstall brew-cask
brew untap caskroom/cask
brew tap caskroom/cask

first to see if that works, without removing installed apps.

@adidalal I’m guessing you have that command in TextExpander, or the like. It needs an update, as brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask no longer does anything.

[merktassel]

Thanks, that did the trick!
