Homebrew-cask: XtraFinder error after cask install and launch

Created on 19 Sep 2017 · 16Comments · Source: Homebrew/homebrew-cask

General troubleshooting steps

[x] I have checked the instructions for reporting bugs (or making requests) before opening the issue.
- [x] None of the templates was appropriate for my issue, or I’m not sure.
[x] I ran brew update-reset && brew update and retried my command.
[x] I ran brew doctor, fixed as many issues as possible and retried my command.
[x] I understand that if I ignore these instructions, my issue may be closed without review.

Description of issue

After installing xtrafinder by
brew cask zap xtrafinder
brew cask install xtrafinder
the app shows an error on every launch from then on. It says

Warning, XtraFinder.app was modified.
For security reason, re-download XtraFinder from official web page.

I noticed it installs to /usr/local/Caskroom/xtrafinder/0.27/XtraFinder.app
instead of
/Applications/XtraFinder.app

After moving it to the correct location

mv /usr/local/Caskroom/xtrafinder/0.27/XtraFinder.app /Applications/XtraFinder.app

the error goes away.

Would be nice to see a fix installing it to the correct location by default.

Thanks in advance

but in my eyes running the command with --verbose --debug doesn`t make sense and neither does brew cask doctor

All due respect, that’s not your call to make. There’s a reason we ask for that information; it’s for our eyes, not yours. If you’re submitting a bug, we need to know everything that happened.

the cask is clearly installed in the wrong location

No, it is not. The cask was unpackaged to the correct location, but the app isn’t what matters, the pkg is. That is the one that is failing.

Do you have the same issue installing the pkg manually?

I can confirm on a clean Sierra VM that it indeed fails when trying to install manually. We need to either:

Make the cask stage_only and add a caveat about SIP (linking to their instructions).
Make the cask depends_on under 10.11.

If you ignore this guide, your issue may be closed without review.

Also note from that document:

If the maintainer was wrong in closing your issue, please do reply stating why! Closing an issue does not mean the conversation is over. If the guides themselves were unclear, help us improve them! Open first an issue or pull request stating what you found confusing and only then your other issue.

I´m sorry, I read over the instructions again, but in my eyes running the command with --verbose --debug doesn`t make sense and neither does brew cask doctor as the cask is clearly installed in the wrong location. But here you go with both. I anything else is missing, please let me know and reopen the issue.

xtrafinder doesn't work 10.11 and later because of SIP.

commitay on 19 Sep 2017

sip is disabled and xtrafinder is working fine (with sip disabled) when installing from the website or moving the .app afterwards. It just installs to the wrong location.

tiiiecherle on 19 Sep 2017

Do you have the same issue installing the pkg manually?

commitay on 19 Sep 2017

no, working fine when installing manually.

tiiiecherle on 19 Sep 2017

As stated in the initial issue I noticed the cask version installs to
/usr/local/Caskroom/xtrafinder/0.27/XtraFinder.app
instead of
/Applications/XtraFinder.app

tiiiecherle on 19 Sep 2017

After moving it to the correct location
mv /usr/local/Caskroom/xtrafinder/0.27/XtraFinder.app /Applications/XtraFinder.app
the error goes away.

ok, I´m sorry if I got that wrong when submitting the issue. I hope you have all information to make it work now.

Thanks for all your help and hard work on the project. I really like it.

tiiiecherle on 19 Sep 2017

And just to let you know, the same issue is present on 10.13 GM, too, when installing by cask. When downloading the installer from the maintainer page it also installs to the correct location and works with sip turned off. So same thing than under 10.12.6

tiiiecherle on 19 Sep 2017

I hope you have all information to make it work now.

We do, thank you, but you’re not going to like it.

Basically we either make the cask not work on any macOS before 10.11 or we only download the cask and tell users to install it manually.

vitorgalvao on 19 Sep 2017

I would like it better if it would not work before 10.11 but if it would work automatically on the latest macos versions instead of installing manually.

Would be nice, thanks.

tiiiecherle on 19 Sep 2017

Make the cask depends_on under 10.11.

I'd favour this option.

commitay on 19 Sep 2017

There’s no reason to do that.

but if it would work automatically on the latest macos versions instead of installing manually.

We can’t do that. It’s impossible, due to SIP.

This is not a negotiation of what we want to do; it’s an explanation of what can be done.

Make the cask depends_on under 10.11.

I'd favour this option.

I do as well. I really don’t want to tell users to disable security features.
