uninitialized constant CurlDownloadStrategy #2275

brianpartridge · 2014-01-02T15:16:38Z

I experience the following error when searching for a cask. I would report it to homebrew as it suggests, but regular homebrew searches work fine, so I assume this is a cask problem. This is from a fresh install of cask.

            [~]$ brew cask search chrome
            Error: uninitialized constant CurlDownloadStrategy
            Please report this bug:

I cannot duplicate this (and @brianpartridge I suggest running brew upgrade brew-cask), but maybe we ought to

require 'download_strategy'

(no path) in lib/cask/download_strategy.rb in order to pull in Homebrew's download_strategy.rb ?

deanrad · 2014-01-05T17:28:54Z

Same error. It was a fresh install yesterday, but I did brew upgrade brew-cask anyway - still get the error.

deanrad · 2014-01-06T14:30:56Z

I can verify that @rolandwalker's require allows brew cask to get past the download strategy. However, for chrome it then says no available cask for chrome, and for dash, the error is Error: no such file to load -- software_spec...

rolandwalker · 2014-01-06T14:51:26Z

Yes, chrome is spelled google-chrome in this project.

However it seems like there is another problem. software_spec.rb is also part of the Homebrew project. So your problem is that Homebrew files are not getting required as they should.

Also, similar to #2267 .

phinze · 2014-01-06T14:51:52Z

Hmm yeah these are errors in requiring the code we borrow from homebrew proper.

I wonder what changed that they're showing up now... will try to research further.

rolandwalker · 2014-01-06T16:26:26Z

If anyone who can duplicate the issue feels comfortable with a hot edit on /usr/local/bin/brew-cask.rb, there are two things to try:

for information: insert a line puts $LOAD_PATH at line 4, run brew cask, and send us the output
for a possible fix: change line 3 to $LOAD_PATH.unshift(File.expand_path('../../rubylib', Pathname.new(__FILE__).realpath))

On our side: we should probably create a brew cask doctor at some point.

Found while investigating Homebrew#2275, but probably not a fix, just a sensible change. Depending on version of ruby interpreter, previous code could cause brew-cask paths to came later than current dir "." in $LOAD_PATH, leading to unpredictable behavior in the wild.

pursuant to discussion in Homebrew#2275

I also get this error right after installing ...

@davidpaulsson let me try cutting a release to see if b15f7bd45a424f6f14075c7f7354d0b7898378b3 fixes this.

phinze · 2014-01-10T16:13:03Z

Okay just pushed v0.26.0 - can you upgrade and see if the issue persists? 🎌

davidpaulsson · 2014-01-10T16:30:00Z

@phinze I'm not so sure how to update stuff, so I uninstalled brew-cask and untaped phinze/cask first. But I still get this:

Garg - okay let me try one more thing and push you a bugfix release.

Next update you can just do brew update && brew upgrade brew-cask to get the new version.

Thanks for bearing with me! 🐻

phinze · 2014-01-10T16:33:56Z

Oh does brew cask doctor work for you, if so could you gist the output of it?

davidpaulsson · 2014-01-10T16:37:31Z

Ok thank you!

Nope, unfortunately not. :s ... Same error, I think:

phinze · 2014-01-10T16:45:55Z

Okay @davidpaulsson if you've got a few more minutes to help us out here, can you install from master to see if 0967e4d helps?

brew update
brew install --HEAD brew-cask

davidpaulsson · 2014-01-10T17:02:21Z

Hey, it works now! 👍 Yay!

phinze · 2014-01-10T17:06:00Z

Phew - okay cutting a bugfix release. Can you now kick us the output of brew cask doctor so we can see what's happening here?

Thanks so much for your time to help the project out! 🍻

davidpaulsson · 2014-01-10T17:07:58Z

Sure! No, thank you for getting this issue resolved.

rolandwalker · 2014-01-10T18:26:32Z

@davidpaulsson I also thank you for being generous with your time.

The doctor output looks correct as far as it goes. If I can get around to expanding the doctor's capabilities, I might ping you to run it again in some future release. I think there is still something fundamentally wrong, we have just successfully compensated for it.

PS you are still running from brew-cask from HEAD at this point. To switch back to the release:

brew rm brew-cask && brew install --fresh brew-cask

phinze · 2014-01-10T18:31:21Z

Aaaand scene! 🎥

Others on this thread - upgrade to fix, reopen if you still have issues!

brianpartridge · 2014-01-11T18:59:58Z

Thanks everyone, it works as expected now.
