Error: undefined method `downcase' for nil:NilClass
Closed this issue · 3 comments
Hello,
Thanks for the great tool — been using it for years!
I'm using cask-upgrade on all of the machines in my household. I manage two of my family member's machines by ssh-ing into them and running brew cu -a -y --no-quarantine --include-mas to install updates. Everything works fine on the M1 MacBook Air but I get the following output on the M1 Mac mini:
==> Options
Include auto-update (-a): true
Include latest (-f): false
Include mac app store (--include-mas): true
==> Updating Homebrew
Already up-to-date.

What could be the issue? Would appreciate your help!
P. S. all machines have the latest Sonoma installed (14.2.1). Homebrew and cask-upgrade are up-to-date.
The issue seems to be with Mac App Store applications. Can you share the output of mas list output? Is there a difference between running it locally and remotely?
Since --include-mas is a bit "experimental", not sure how easily fixable that is.
Hi, you are right. When I exclude the --include-mas parameter from the command the update process succeeds.
It's interesting that when logged in via ssh, the output of the mas list is:
No installed apps found
Locally, however, mas list outputs:
1510445899 Meeter (1.9.9)
896411742 Animal Typing - Lite (3.22)
1446785996 Scratch 3 (3.29.1)

462062816 Microsoft PowerPoint (16.80)
1333542190 1Password 7 (7.9.11)
So, a mas problem indeed. Their repo has a few issues that seems similar...
I'll add a check so that it doesn't break so badly, but that's all we can do right now.
