Error using --force to install/update some already installed casks

[tiiiecherle]

General troubleshooting steps

• [x] I understand that if I ignore these instructions, my issue may be closed without review.
• [x] I have retried my command with --force.
• [x] I ran brew update-reset && brew update and retried my command.
• [x] I ran brew doctor, fixed as many issues as possible and retried my command.
• [x] I have checked the instructions for reporting bugs.
• [x] I made doubly sure this is not a checksum does not match error.

Description of issue

Some casks do not get installed correctly when using --force if app is already installed, e.g. nextcloud, github...

Command that failed

nextcloud is just an example, fails on multiple casks if cask is already installed.

brew cask install --force nextcloud && brew cask install --force nextcloud

Output of command with --force --verbose --debug

brew cask install --force nextcloud --verbose --debug

Error: It seems there already exists a Binary at '/usr/local/bin/nextcloudcmd'; not overwriting.

@reitermarkus What do you think? Should --force override this?

Error: It seems there already exists a Binary at '/usr/local/bin/nextcloudcmd'; not overwriting.

@reitermarkus What do you think? Should --force override this?

I have made it so --force overrides the error, and instead prints a warning as it does when installing .app's with --force.

[reitermarkus]

I think for binaries we should only override:

• if it is a symlink
• if that symlink is pointing to the Caskroom path of the same cask

[vitorgalvao]

Agreed with @reitermarkus. Even with --force we shouldn’t take the risk of irreversibly deleting a user script or breaking other tools that depend on it.

[tiiiecherle]

Thanks for looking into this.

I don't know much about the background code but for the user using --force in my opinion should really force an override.

I don't know if @reitermarkus's suggestion would solve the following problem, if yes, it is ok for me. I'm using --force in my own update script and therefore --force should lead to always having all app related files in the latest version and making the install/update succeed. This worked for the last years without problems.

I checked for the nextcloud and chromium cask that are currently failing to update with --force for me. The error files (/usr/local/bin/nextcloudcmd and /usr/local/bin/chromium) are both symlinks. I don't know if there are other casks with other issue possibilities regarding this.

Thanks in advance for working on the fix.

Can someone please explain why "not overwriting" is preferred if the conflicting name/path is a file.

1. I would expect to overwrite if I use --force.
2. The result of using --force for an update should be all files updated to the latest version.

Thanks

[tiiiecherle]

@vitorgalvao Thanks, I already read that but I don't know exactly what that means. Do you mean it could possibly overwrite a file that doesn't even belong to the referring cask?

Is it not the way it has ever been until a few days ago to overwrite the conflicting files using --force?

Yes.

I no longer recall.
