Error when running brew cask list

[hanxue]

I have been having brew cask list error for a couple of months now - I suspect after moving the applications to /usr/local/Caskroom

brew cask list error

$ brew cask list

Error: Cask 'keyremap4macbook' is unavailable: No Cask with this name exists.

Note, in this case keyremap4macbook is either a cask that is really old, or a cask that I authored myself. I have deleted about a dozen of those casks manually, but there are still many more.

Is there any way to allow those outdated/custom cask to remain in place?

Steps taken

I ran brew cask update multiple times, and also executed

$ brew untap caskroom/cask
$ brew tap caskroom/cask

brew cask doctor

If you ignore this guide, your issue may be closed without review.

It’s more than likely one of those steps solves your issue. Please don’t skip or delete them, it asks you right there to follow them.

@reitermarkus thanks!
@vitorgalvao no where in the instruction is anything said about deleting directories for Casks that are not found. I have a few dozen Casks I wrote myself in the past. How can I continue using them?

Do I re-write Casks put a copy in /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/caskroom/homebrew-cask/ ? Or can I just reinstall it with brew cask install /my/custom/location/cask-file.rb?

Apologies, the title of the issue should rather be "Allowing custom Casks to be used".

no where in the instruction is anything said about deleting directories for Casks that are not found.

The instructions have a “force fix” command. It’s not your decision to make which points to ignore, especially when there’s a point regarding precisely that.

If those are custom casks, then you need to fix them yourself. The error is self-explanatory. Look at the first line of the casks we have and your custom casks. Make them follow the same pattern.
