brew services restart spacebar doesn't work

[kabirbg]

Hi! While I can restart spacebar with launchctl kickstart -k "gui/${UID}/homebrew.mxcl.spacebar" or simply by doing brew services stop spacebar && brew services start spacebar, when I try to use brew services restart spacebar it produces the following output (without doing the restart):

[kabir:~]$ brew services restart spacebar -v
Error: undefined method `boot_path_plist_present?' for #<Homebrew::Service:0x00007fcc4fa6e988>

/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-services/cmd/services.rb:48:in `services'
/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Homebrew/brew.rb:122:in `<main>'

Any idea how to fix this? Like I said this issue is easily resolved by restarting using one of the other ways, but just bringing it to your attention. :)

Hey @kabirbg 👋 Thanks for raising this!
I don't use Homebrew, so hadn't come across this -- I'll check it out and add some testing to the package's pipeline :)

Just in case it helps this is my output of the same command, which is successful for me. I used brew install --HEAD spacebar.

brew services restart spacebar -v

Thanks for the update! I reinstalled spacebar from HEAD and it works as it should now. I think this is probably an old issue that got fixed at some point and will be working in the next release!
