Error Finding Casks directory when running "brew cask doctor"

[booc0mtaco]

Ran the command brew cask doctor after running brew update and brew upgrade, and received the following:

==> Homebrew-cask Default Tap Cask Count:
Error: No such file or directory - /usr/local/Library/Taps/phinze/homebrew-cask/Casks

Now, I report the bug as instructed.

Possibly unrelated, but I ran brew doctor and received:

$ brew doctor
Error: Failed to import: kindle-previewer
undefined method `link' for KindlePreviewer:Class
Your system is ready to brew.

I am also having this problem

When I ls, I have a directory phinze-cask, instead of phinze

[booc0mtaco]

@Jackiebo I'm no longer seeing the problem. I have a suspicion that restarting your shell might resolve it (after the upgrade has completed)?

[vitorgalvao]

@booc0mtaco The kindle-previewer issue has been fixed (it was unrelated to this, yes).

@Jackiebo Homebrew has changed the directory structure of taps. A fix has already been merged. Could you please run brew update && brew upgrade brew-cask, restart your shell (as suggested by @booc0mtaco), and try again?

[rolandwalker]

Also, it may help to run brew update multiple times.

[booc0mtaco]

I'm OK with closing this one out. It would be nice though if there were some mechanism to remind the user to restart shell when constants change after an upgrade. Or perhaps doctor can suggest a shell restart after certain types of error?

[rolandwalker]

This is mostly out of our hands. Homebrew moved the Tap location, and their implementation is glitchy. It seems somewhat unpredictable when the migration happens for each user.

We can think about a special error message as you suggest.

I don't want to close until we hear from @Jackiebo as well.

My company had a custom version of brew that wasn't updating, I switched to
the main version of brew and this is fixed for me now. Thanks
