Using the latest version, brew cu gives an error:

Error: 1.0 (107) contains invalid characters: ()!

It is caused by quitter, whose version number is 1.0 (107).
Previously brew cu worked well handling this application.

Hey @wydwww , thx for the report. I just tried to install the app and works fine for me 🤔 Could you run brew update and then try to run brew cu again?

wydwww commented

Hi @ondrejfuhrer , I tried brew update and brew cu. It gave the same error message.

@wydwww can you please try as well ls -la /usr/local/Caskroom/quitter and pass the result here? This is where we're getting the versions from.

@wydwww Interesting, so that's where is it coming from. Right now, if I install it, I have a different format. I would suggest reinstalling it for now, that should fix it -> brew reinstall --cask quitter

If I do the same thing, I have following:

(base) ➜  ~ ls -la /usr/local/Caskroom/quitter
drwxr-xr-x  - username 11 Apr  2021 .metadata
drwxr-xr-x@ - username 11 Apr  2021 1.0,107

If you would get that after reinstalling it should then work 🙂

Thanks for your solution!
Although brew reinstall --cask quitter and brew uninstall --cask quitter with or without --force will still give error:

Warning: No checksum defined for cask 'quitter', skipping verification.
Error: Cask 'quitter' definition is invalid: 'version' stanza failed with: 1.0 (107) contains invalid characters: ()!

Deleting /usr/local/Caskroom/quitter and installing again fixed this error. Looks like an upstream problem.
