Error on execute a "brew services start mongodb-community" command about homebrew-services HOT 4 CLOSED

The mongodb maintainers should update their formula. plist_startup has been removed from brew.

from homebrew-services.

For those in this issue that may be interested the mongodb formula have been updated to work with homebrew 4.2.

from homebrew-services.

Hi @SMillerDev! I'm happy to open an issue upstream, but can you clarify how the mongodb-community formulae need to be updated? Specifically, I am running into this issue with [email protected], but from what I can tell, its formula does not reference plist_startup at all.

Instead, the references to plist_startup I can find are in homebrew-services itself. In fact, from what I can tell, the error seems to be specifically caused by the lack of a plist_startup in the [email protected] formula:

Error: undefined method `plist_startup' for #<Formula [email protected] (stable) /opt/homebrew/Library/Taps/mongodb/homebrew-brew/Formula/[email protected]>

If it helps color the issue at all, I am running into this issue after brew updateing to 4.2.0: is it possible this is caused by differing behavior between ruby 2.6 and ruby 3.1, or some other breaking change introduced in that update?

from homebrew-services.

Thanks @dmoody256!
