alacritty cask introduces critical bug #185883

Verification

I understand that if I ignore these instructions, my issue may be closed without review.
I have retried my command with --force.
I ran brew update-reset && brew update and retried my command.
I ran brew doctor, fixed as many issues as possible and retried my command.
I have checked the instructions for reporting bugs.
I made doubly sure this is not a checksum does not match / SHA256 mismatch error (do not open an issue before trying to open a PR to fix first).

Description of issue

Installing Alacritty via brew introduces two bugs, both of which are not present in the official DMG image.

Bug 1: reported here, confirmed that it's not present by the DMG but is present by the brew installed version.
Alacritty on macOS introduces weird bash bug alacritty/alacritty#8180

This is really some crazy behaviour when the terminal is faked in a super weird way. Only brew installed Alacritty is doing this:

echo $SHELL && echo $BASH && echo $BASH_VERSION
/opt/homebrew/bin/bash
/opt/homebrew/bin/bash
3.2.57(1)-release

Terminal.app

echo $SHELL && echo $BASH && echo $BASH_VERSION
/opt/homebrew/bin/bash
/opt/homebrew/bin/bash
5.2.32(1)-release

WezTerm:

echo $SHELL && echo $BASH && echo $BASH_VERSION
/opt/homebrew/bin/bash
/opt/homebrew/bin/bash
5.2.32(1)-release

iTerm:

echo $SHELL && echo $BASH && echo $BASH_VERSION
/opt/homebrew/bin/bash
/opt/homebrew/bin/bash
5.2.32(1)-release

The other issue is adding a bash completion which is not compatible with macOS Bash version 3.2, reported here:

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

daeho-ro · 2024-09-19T02:24:01Z

I can't reproduce, and bash completion is just moved from .app into the Homebrew managed folder, I didn't think it is problem of Homebrew.

hyperknot · 2024-09-19T02:28:17Z

I mean for bash completion, isn't this line present?

complete -F _alacritty -o nosort -o bashdefault -o default alacritty

That by definition triggers an error in bash 3.2

bevanjkay · 2024-09-19T05:53:22Z

The cask file is setup to install the bash completion that is present in Alacritty's .app bundle.

  binary "Alacritty.app/Contents/Resources/completions/alacritty.bash",
         target: "#{HOMEBREW_PREFIX}/etc/bash_completion.d/alacritty"

The line you mentioned does exist inside of Alacritty's completion file.
complete -F _alacritty -o nosort -o bashdefault -o default alacritty

hyperknot · 2024-09-19T11:00:59Z

I see, than it's weird that the developer closed my issue with:
alacritty/alacritty#8180 (comment)

alacritty doesn't create any files, including the completions. So whatever you got installed is done by your package manager of choice.

Anyway, I'm not using Alacritty anymore because of these issues, I just wanted to report it here, probably the next person will also run into it.

khipp · 2024-09-19T14:21:40Z

@hyperknot I was able to reproduce the issue based on the steps you provided in https://github.com/orgs/Homebrew/discussions/5614.

Am I correct in assuming that you did not log out or reboot after changing your default login shell with chsh -s /opt/homebrew/bin/bash? If so, doing either of these should resolve your issue with Alacritty.

hyperknot · 2024-09-19T14:30:41Z

@khipp Yes, I didn't reboot or log out, just restarted the terminal.

Interesting that it's not needed for the other terminals, but it's good to know that a re-login would fix it.

khipp · 2024-09-19T14:38:03Z

Closing as this is not a bug with Homebrew.
