Cask task fails

[anthonygreen]

TASK: [geerlingguy.homebrew | Get list of apps installed with cask.] ********** 
failed: [io] => {"changed": false, "cmd": "brew cask list", "failed": true, "rc": 2}
msg: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

It seems this may be a problem with cask / the OS environment rather than this role (it's working for me on 10.10.3 and also on a fresh/clean VM running 10.10.2)... is there anything helpful in this upstream issue? Homebrew/homebrew-cask#4667

[geerlingguy]

Also, did you override the homebrew_taps variable in your own playbook?

It should at least have:

homebrew_taps:
  - caskroom/cask

[anthonygreen]

The destination machine has OSX 10.10.2

The playbook is

- hosts: io
  roles:
  - { role: geerlingguy.homebrew }

sshing into the machine I can run brew cask tasks without issues

Getting the same error following an upgrade to 10.10.3

I'm encountering the same issue with a Vagrant OSX image

NB The ansible module for homebrew does work

- homebrew: name=brew-cask state=present

[fhickman]

I had this same problem. It looks like it is due to the 'command' module not finding 'brew' on whatever path it is using. If you change the command to '/usr/local/bin/brew cask list', it should work.

[geerlingguy]

Added new variable in commit above, so this role should be a bit more robust in situations where the $PATH doesn't include /usr/local/bin.
