Homebrew-cask: brew cask info sublime-text-3 error

[hanxue]

When I run brew cask info for sublime text 3, I see this error

$ brew cask info sublime-text-3
Error: private method `split' called for nil:NilClass

Running brew cask info for sublime text (version 2) works fine.

$ brew cask info sublime-text
sublime-text: 2.0.2
http://www.sublimetext.com/2
Not installed
https://github.com/phinze/homebrew-cask/commits/master/Casks/sublime-text.rb

I tried a couple of other random casks, both installed and uninstalled but so far cannot reproduce this error.

Brew cask version: 0.19.1

Pretty sure this is a manifestation of a bug that has since been fixed. brew cask info sublime-text works for me now. Feel free to reopen if you see additional problems. :sunrise:

brew cask info sublime-text-3 is the problem, not sublime-text. I realize that's from a separate keg so here is something from the default package list that fails:

$ brew cask info gpower-3

I'm loving cask so far, really great idea, thanks for your work.

The problem is with the name. Numbers are not treated as new words, so they should be named sublime-text3 and gpower3. It’s also wrong on the docs, I’ll fix this in a bit.

[vitorgalvao]

@irrevenant It should be fixed now. Please brew update and try again.

i'm getting

~ [ brew cask info sublime-text3
Error: No available cask for sublime-text3

[vitorgalvao]

@hems For sublime-text3, you’ll have to tap this other repo.

thanks

Just recently this issue reemerged. You see sublime-text3 (!) in your brew cask list even when you already installed it from a different tap.

Turns out now brew cask install sublime-text installs version 3 by default.
Beware.

[adidalal]

The download page linked to at https://www.sublimetext.com now points to ST3, and as such, is now the default.

No need to beware, just be aware.

Feel free to open up a PR to add sublime-text-2 to `homebrew-versions if you think it warrants inclusion, and we can discuss it there, for sure.

no - beware is correct. if you have code (say, config management) that referenced sublime-text3, you'll find it broken.

proper backward compatible behavior would be for -both- sublime-text and sublime-text3 to install ST3, with the sublime-text3 package returning a deprecation warning, then eventually returning an error that points to the new package.

sigh.

[airtonix]

still broken when we use brew cask install sublime-text
