This is not a huge deal _to say the least_, so feel free to close if it's a known/desired thing, but running brew tests invokes the macOS trash sound. I presume it's a cask thing.

Only really raising it because it did make me stare at my trash folder for 5 minutes with a slightly puzzled expression & wonder why nothing new had appeared in there despite the trash sound being triggered twice in quick succession 🤷‍♂️.

[reitermarkus]

Yeah, there's not really a (good) way to turn the sound off I think.

[DomT4]

Aye, not to my immediate knowledge. I know you can use osascript to both get & set system volume but suddenly having your music or such muted very briefly whenever brew cask uninstall or brew tests is run isn't really ideal UX either.

[ilovezfs]

Yeah, having trash noises emanating from the test suite isn't exactly great.

[reitermarkus]

I tried muting the system sound, and it takes just long enough that you can tell. There is another volume setting for only the sound effects, but no idea how to control this.

[reitermarkus]

Ok, found a way.

[apjanke]

I vote for both keeping this open as a bug, and not having brew do anything to modify the system sound effects. Especially if this doesn't result in new items in the user-visible Trash.

One of the first things I do on any new Mac install is turn off OS sound effects, so this doesn't hit me. But it seems like something brew should avoid.

[ilovezfs]

I think the most straightforward solution here is to simply remove the test.

[MikeMcQuaid]

Relatedly: brew tests puts a file in my Trash which is annoying. @reitermarkus What's the latest here?

[reitermarkus]

Seems like osascript always adds \n to stdout, so the last filename is always wrong.
