brew cask search is deprecated about alfred-homebrew HOT 7 CLOSED

Thanks for raising this issue. I've put a workaround in place, but this needs to be worked on when brew cask search is removed once and for all.

Unfortunately brew cask search also returns formulae and Casks. These are all formulae, none of the Casks show up:

Mh, so the only way to search for casks is to actually call and parse brew search {search term}? That's unfortunate and I'm not sure how stable brew search {something} is at the moment. Maybe we should just drop support for cask search/install?

from alfred-homebrew.

Correct. Maybe we can open an feature request to add a flag to brew search to only return formulae or Casks. I really like being able to search and install Casks from Alfred in one command, so it would be sad to see it go.

Sound like a good idea. Would you like to work on this? As in filing a feature request and implementing it here once available?

from alfred-homebrew.

It looks like as of 2 days ago you can run brew search --casks to get a list of all Casks. If you don't have time to implement that, I'll see if I can get a PR in next week.

@ErikMinekus cool! I'm afraid next week will be quite busy, but happy to review a PR :)
