brew cask list command not work #36387

tonybearpan · 2017-07-12T06:07:18Z

General troubleshooting steps

I have checked the instructions for reporting bugs (or making requests) before opening the issue.
- None of the templates was appropriate for my issue, or I’m not sure.
I ran brew update-reset && brew update and retried my command.
I ran brew doctor, fixed as many issues as possible and retried my command.
I understand that if I ignore these instructions, my issue may be closed without review.

Description of issue

As follow

brew cask list
Error: Cask 'flash' is unavailable: No Cask with this name exists.

Output of your command with `--verbose --debug`

Does the folder /usr/local/Caskroom/flash exist? If so, delete it and try running the command again.

miccal · 2017-07-20T17:43:46Z

Closing due to lack of reply.

I ran into a similar issue with the java7 cask. I also ran through the general troubleshooting list to see if that would resolve the issue, but it did not. The issue arose immediately after I removed java7 via:

brew cask uninstall java7

Afterwards, if I ran brew cask list, I ran into the following error:

brew cask list
Error: Cask 'java7' is unavailable: No Cask with this name exists.

The output of the preceding command with --verbose and --debug added:

brew cask list --verbose --debug

The workaround posted by @miccal of removing the caskroom folder resolved the issue. Specifically, in this case:
rm -R /usr/local/Caskroom/java7

I am also trying to install java 7. But always got the error:
Error: Cask 'java7' is unavailable: No Cask with this name exists.

brew cask list --verbose --debug
returned nothing.

Tried brew tap caskroom/versions

My /usr/local/Caskroom folder is empty as well.
It seems like the cask tap is not working as expected? How should I fix this.
