"IndexError: list index out of range" when running brew file casklist

[obrientg]

Hello! I am working on getting brew-file running on various macbook pro's I own to make administration easier - and when configuring a new system. The current system I am working on is a MacBookPro11,5 running Monterey (12.7.6), with brew & all packages up to date (ran brew update/upgrade before starting this process).

I have gone through all the documentation posted on https://homebrew-file.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage.html and the FAQ), but I am getting similar IndexError's when running casklist, or when looking to create the brew-file (which casklist seems to be the first step):

`brew file casklist

Your assistance and insights would be appreciated - thank you

There seems something wrong happened when it tries to get apps information.

Could you please try following commands and give me outputs?

mdfind 'kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1'
for app in $(mdfind 'kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1');do echo $app;mdls -attr kMDItemAppStoreAdamID -attr kMDItemVersion $app;done

[obrientg]

Sure

mdfind 'kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1'

/Applications/Mattermost.app /Applications/Keynote.app /Applications/Numbers.app /Applications/iMovie.app /Applications/GarageBand.app /Applications/Pages.app /Applications/WireGuard.app

but if I run mdfind 'kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1' for app in $(mdfind 'kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1');do echo $app;mdls -attr kMDItemAppStoreAdamID -attr kMDItemVersion $app;done

-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `do'

or run

mdfind 'kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1' for app in $(mdfind 'kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1');

Unknown option -

Usage: mdfind [-live] [-count] [-onlyin directory] [-name fileName | -s smartFolderName | query] list the files matching the query query can be an expression or a sequence of words

-attr Fetches the value of the specified attribute -count Query only reports matching items count -onlyin

Search only within given directory -live Query should stay active -name Search on file name only -reprint Reprint results on live update -s Show contents of smart folder -0 Use NUL (``\0'') as a path separator, for use with xargs -0.

example: mdfind image example: mdfind -onlyin ~ image example: mdfind -name stdlib.h example: mdfind "kMDItemAuthor == 'MyFavoriteAuthor'" example: mdfind -live MyFavoriteAuthor

Could you please try (starting from for)?:

for app in $(mdfind 'kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1');do echo $app;mdls -attr kMDItemAppStoreAdamID -attr kMDItemVersion $app;done
