Is there a way to have updates use the same appdir used to install them? I am trying to use cask as a non-admin and when brew cu
updates it trys to place it in /Application by default?

@buo Let me just congratulate you and your team for this great app !

@Saklad5 I have seen the updated code, but it doesn't affect this project so far.

Failing that, could you add a “dry run” option that doesn’t do anything after checking each Cask for updates? That would let the user make sure that nothing will be messed up.

@Saklad5 Thanks for your suggestion. I'm gonna add the --dry-run
option soon.

I think dry-run should be the default behavior. Kicking off something that could take hours to complete is something that should be done carefully.
In addition, people might feel reluctant to interrupt the install as they don't want to leave the system in a weird state (whether that is possible or not)...

I’ve recently “discovered” the brew bundle
project, which introduces a unified record (a “Brewfile) of installation from Homebrew, Homebrew-Cask, and even the Mac App Store among other things. Most importantly, it uses easily parsable syntax and can store install arguments.
Would it be possible to, given a path to a Brewfile with the desired arguments added for each Cask, do what I’m asking for here? This seems like it should be quite simple to do, and I might even try my hand if I get the time.
Speaking of which, I appreciate that you are taking the time to consider these changes. So long as you respond to these comments in a timely fashion (within a month, really), I don’t care how long it ends up taking for you to implement these ideas. In the meantime, I can just run brew cu
with my hand over Control-C to stop it if it tries to update anything outside of /Applications.

For your information, dry-run became the default behavior in #38.

I noticed, thank you. I feel the command is much approved now that I don't have to rest my hands on Control-C.
By the way, have you noticed that brew cask outdated
has been implemented?
