Here's the error:
$ brew cask install sublime-text Error: No such file or directory -brew-cask
brew cask install was working earlier in the day, so I hoping that it was just a change in the load path affected the shell's ability to find and run the brew cask install command.
brew cask install
So, I did an exhaustive search:
$ find / \( -name "brew\-cask*" -type f \) -or \( -ilname "*brew-cask*" \) 2>/dev/null | grep brew-cask | xargs ls -l -rw-r--r-- 1 lex admin 0 Sep 1 16:42 /Library/Caches/Homebrew/Formula/brew-cask.brewing -rwxr-xr-x 1 lex admin 193 Aug 31 20:35 /Library/Caches/Homebrew/brew-cask--git/bin/brew-cask.rb -rw-r--r-- 1 lex admin 470 Aug 31 20:35 /Library/Caches/Homebrew/brew-cask--git/brew-cask.rb -rwxr-xr-x 1 lex wheel 197 Sep 1 16:39 /usr/local/Cellar/brew-cask/0.15.0/bin/brew-cask.rb lrwxr-xr-x 1 lex admin 32 Aug 31 20:35 /usr/local/Library/Formula/brew-cask.rb -> ../Taps/phinze-cask/brew-cask.rb lrwxr-xr-x 1 lex admin 29 Sep 1 16:39 /usr/local/Library/LinkedKegs/brew-cask -> ../../Cellar/brew-cask/0.15.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 lex admin 193 Aug 31 20:35 /usr/local/Library/Taps/phinze-cask/bin/brew-cask.rb -rw-r--r-- 1 lex admin 470 Aug 31 20:35 /usr/local/Library/Taps/phinze-cask/brew-cask.rb lrwxr-xr-x 1 lex admin 43 Sep 1 16:39 /usr/local/bin/brew-cask.rb -> ../Cellar/brew-cask/0.15.0/bin/brew-cask.rb lrwxr-xr-x 1 lex admin 26 Sep 1 16:39 /usr/local/opt/brew-cask -> ../Cellar/brew-cask/0.15.0
The last two lines looked interesting...
$ ls -l /usr/local/Cellar/brew-cask/0.15.0/bin/brew-cask.rb -rwxr-xr-x 1 lex wheel 197 Sep 1 16:39 /usr/local/Cellar/brew-cask/0.15.0/bin/brew-cask.rb $ ls -l /usr/local/Cellar/brew-cask/0.15.0 total 16 drwxr-xr-x 421 lex wheel 14314 Sep 1 16:39 Casks -rw-r--r-- 1 lex admin 226 Sep 1 16:39 INSTALL_RECEIPT.json -rw-r--r-- 1 lex wheel 1909 Sep 1 16:39 README.md drwxr-xr-x 3 lex wheel 102 Sep 1 16:39 bin drwxr-xr-x 5 lex wheel 170 Sep 1 16:39 rubylib
Hmmm... /usr/local/opt/brew-cask points to a directory that contains a bin directory that then contains brew-cask...
/usr/local/opt/brew-cask
Then, I looked in at my load path...
$ echo $PATH /Users/lex/.rbenv/shims:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:/Users/lex/.rbenv/bin:/Users/lex/.rbenv/shims:/Users/lex/bin:/usr/local/opt:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin
And sure enough, my PATH had been changed to load files in /usr/local/opt before it loads files in /usr/local/bin.
/usr/local/opt
The rest of the "executables" were similar in the /usr/local/opt directory. So, I removed it from my path.
I tried again...
$ brew cask install sublime-text ==> Downloading http://c758482.r82.cf2.rackcdn.com/Sublime%20Text%202.0.2.dmg ######################################################################## 100.0% ==> Success! sublime-text installed to /opt/homebrew-cask/Caskroom/sublime-text/2.0.2 ==> Linking Sublime Text 2.app to /Users/lex/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app
Success :-)
