`brew update` failes after upgrading to homebrew 0.9.9

[hakamadare]

After upgrading homebrew to the latest version (apparently over the past weekend the maintainers split it into Homebrew/brew and Homebrew/homebrew-core?), I now get the following Puppet error when running boxen:

Debug: Executing 'brew update'
Error: Execution of 'brew update' returned 1: Error: Cowardly refusing to 'sudo brew update'
You can use brew with sudo, but only if the brew executable is owned by root.
However, this is both not recommended and completely unsupported so do so at
your own risk.

Looks like something has changed upstream? attn @jacobbednarz who seems to be working on something related

Yeah. Appears homebrew has split up formulae from the package manager itself (a change I am quite happy to see!) but we'll want to fix a few things on boxen's side for compatibility with the new world order.

Yep! I'm tackling a short term fix at https://github.com/boxen/puppet-homebrew/pull/92 and once we get everyone working again, I'll take a look at getting it working using the split repository setup.

[MikeMcQuaid]

Made a release in https://github.com/boxen/puppet-homebrew/releases/tag/2.0.1.

[hakamadare]

@mikemcquaid thanks for that! i just modified my Puppetfile to pull puppet-homebrew 2.0.1 (and have confirmed that there's a 2.0.1 module downloaded by librarian-puppet), but i still see the same error message; is there something else i need to do to implement the short term fix?

[jacobbednarz]

I'll be updating our-boxen shortly with 2.0.1 if you'd like to test that out?

[MikeMcQuaid]

@hakamadare I haven't personally investigated this. It may need a more involved fix. I'm not personally using Boxen any more but if people are still struggling in a few days I can try and boot up a VM and check it out.

[jacobbednarz]

@hakamadare check out #815 as the proposed fix. You should be able to checkout this branch locally and run boxen with a working homebrew again.

[MikeMcQuaid]

Made another release in https://github.com/boxen/puppet-homebrew/releases/tag/2.0.2.

[snewman]

This fixes it for me. Going to send a pull request over to our-boxed as it's currently pegged to the old (now breaking) 2.0.1

[jacobbednarz]

@snewman I've got one open via #816 however I before merging I was interested in the reasoning behind why using root has all of a sudden broke.

https://github.com/boxen/puppet-homebrew/releases/tag/2.0.2 works for me, thanks!

It seems I'm unable to get this to work.

The error I'm getting when running script/boxen is:

I do have the newest boxen-homebrew and have run bundle exec librarian-puppet install --path=shared --clean:

github "homebrew",    "2.0.2"

What could be the problem? Is there some cache I need to bust?
