Homebrew: Cask 'java' definition is invalid
You can clean up old-style cask formulas thus:
grep "cask :v1 =>" --files-with-match /usr/local/Caskroom/*/.metadata/*/*/Casks/*.rb \
| xargs gdirname | xargs gdirname | xargs rm -r
Assuming you've installed coreutils with a g
prefix, so gdirname
runs the GNU flavor of dirname
Solved by doing the following:
- Edited the java cask:
vim /usr/local/Caskroom/java/.metadata/1.8.0_51-b16/20150725210402.758/Casks/java.rb
- Changed the first line from:
cask :v1 => 'java' do
to
cask 'java' do
Removed the
undent
comments at the end of the cask, which were giving me problems.Ran
brew uninstall --cask java
Problem solved ð¥
