CamelCasing cask class gives uninitialized constant?

[ghost]

My commits so far haven't used proper CamelCase for the app name because when do I do, I get an uninitialized constant error.

For example:

class Rubymine < Cask

works when I copy the rb and brew cask install it to test, but

class RubyMine < Cask

gives me
uninitialized constant Cask::Rubymine
when I try to brew cask install

I think you're hitting the hyphen -> CamelCase convention in homebrew-cask.

Have a look at this line:

https://github.com/phinze/homebrew-cask/blob/c44192c1d3aefd812aabc994ff68d8f2e47b6919/lib/cask.rb#L50

Basically each hyphen-separated token is split, capitalized, and joined, so: "foo-bar-baz" becomes FooBarBaz.

So if your file was named ruby-mine.rb the code would expect RubyMine and if it was named rubymine.rb the code would expect Rubymine.

Not sure if this is exactly the issue you were seeing -- does this help clear things up at all?

That explains it. Thanks.

@phinze It would be useful if this was documented on the How to Contribute page - I ran into the same issue, and had to search through the issues to find out what was going on.

👍

I found this page by searching for uninitialized constant after brew cask install webkit returned Error: uninitialized constant Cask::Webkit
