Stuck at "loading packages"

[MrBananaPants]

I just compiled Cork from source. Everything works fine except the home screen which is stuck at "loading packages".

Maybe the issue could be related to the macOS 14 Developer beta I'm using? Mac Mini M2, macOS 14 Dev beta 1.

[buresdv]

It's possible that this might be a beta thing. "Loading Packages" is shown until packages and casks are loaded, but I see that you have them loaded in the sidebar, so it can't be that. The only other condition is that you have no taps added, but that's not possible because you have packages installed at all.

Could you please run Cork from Xcode and send me the console output? I'll have a look what's up 😊

@buresdv thank you for the quick response! Here's the console output:

[buresdv]

No problem! I have to keep the users happy 😆

The problem seems to be this line: Contents of tap folder: []

It looks like it's not finding any taps in the designated tap folder. Could you check if the folder /opt/homebrew/Library/Taps exists for you, and if there's anything in it? And do the same with /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps, just to be sure

[MrBananaPants]

Hi, the folder /opt/homebrew/Library/Taps exists but is empty and the folder /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps does not exist.

I can use Homebrew in the terminal without any issues (install casks, remove them, upgrade casks and fomulae,...)

EDIT: weirdly enough, running brew tap has no output meaning no taps are found

[buresdv]

Thank yo ufor the info! That's strange, I've never seen Homebrew work with no taps added. Can you do brew update && brew upgrade and see if you can still install stuff?

[MrBananaPants]

I already had the latest version installed (4.0.21) and I'm able to install and upgrade casks without any issues. brew doctor also shows no issues (except for me running a developer beta version of macOS).

[buresdv]

That's really strange, can you do brew tap homebrew/core and see if that fixes the loading problem?

[MrBananaPants]

brew tap homebrew/core did fix the loading problem but brew doctor now gives me the following message:

Warning: You have an unnecessary local Core tap!
This can cause problems installing up-to-date formulae.
Please remove it by running:
 brew untap homebrew/core

[buresdv]

I have never seen this before. I will try to search up what might be wrong, so I'll get back to you later.

[MrBananaPants]

I think this might be useful: https://github.com/orgs/Homebrew/discussions/4495

[buresdv]

Hmm, in that case, do what brew doctor tells you to do so you don't end up with a broken Homebrew, and I'll get back to you. If you figure out anything else, please add another comment!

[hecaex]

This happened to me too when I removed the only extra tap that I had previously added. Adding homebrew/core and running brew doctor results in a warning of multiple homebre/core taps. Readding a tap fixed the loading for packages.

[Xerxes-2]

I think newly installed homebrew doesn't have the default taps now, so the tap list is empty.

[buresdv]

I think newly installed homebrew doesn't have the default taps now, so the tap list is empty.

That's whack on Homebrew's part, I will test it in a VM

[buresdv]

You were right, it doesn't have any taps by default. I'll add a way of optionally adding them for the user, see #151 for progress on that.

Funnily enough, the packages from homebrew/core and homebrew/cask can still be found and installed, even when those aren't tapped.

[buresdv]

Fixed as per #151
