When installing casks, anything with a dash errors. about ansible-role-homebrew

[geerlingguy]

I'm going to leave this open until the issue is resolved and the PR #152 is passing. Then I'll merge that PR and this should not happen again—at least not without me noticing :D

Thanks! :) meanwhile I am just running a separate command to install apps with "-" in their name like so brew install google-chrome sequel-pro sublime-text visual-studio-code

[geerlingguy]

Strange... I thought I was testing google-chrome in the default configuration, but apparently I'm not.

[arnoldasb]

+1

yeah those with a dash fail for me for now:
sublime-text
google-chrome
sequel-pro

[geerlingguy]

I can't do any CI testing currently until I resolve #150 — please stand by.

This is a bug in upstream Ansible—the homebrew_cask module was broken in Ansible 2.10.2—see ansible-collections/community.general#1037

It was fixed in this PR: ansible-collections/community.general#1038

If you want to make things work earlier than that, either pin to an older Ansible version for now, or update to a later version of community.general and make sure to include that updated version of the module in your playbooks. See: ansible-collections/community.general#1038 (comment)

Awesome :-) Thanks!

[dsnyder0pc]

Same here…looking forward to testing the fix. :)

@geerlingguy Is the fix now included in an ansible update?

[geerlingguy]

@hypery2k - Not yet :( Waiting on a new release still...

Came here to report this bug, but happy to see that it's already in hand =)

I worked around this with

brew uninstall ansible
brew install ansible2.8
brew link [email protected]
