undefined method `resolve_alias' for Formula:Class

I get this error when I run
brew services start rabbitmq.

We don't support brew-services here, but that looks like a pretty old version and it is using functionality that no longer exists in the Homebrew codebase.

You'll need to remove it and then get brew-services from wherever it is being maintained these days (I don't know off the top of my head).

Thanks,

I found a way around it, without using brew services.

Hey there,

I've been faced this same issue and I figured out this way.

#1
I got this message when I ran brew doctor :
Warning: You have external commands with conflicting names.
Found command brew-services in following places:
/usr/local/bin/brew-services.rb
/usr/local/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-services/cmd/brew-services.rb

I've been getting this message when I tried to check brew services available

$ brew services list
Warning: No user-space services controlled by brew services running...

#2
So, I decided to remove the first installation that was out of Library/Taps directories.
rm -rf /usr/local/bin/brew-services.rb

#3
Now, to be sure that everything is okay, I ran
brew update && brew upgrade

#4 Finally, brew services is working fine now.
