As a temporary workaround adding hpedrorodrigues/tools/dockutilto the home-brew cask section works.

Thanks @einSelbst i'll give the workaround a try.
@will62185 as by now there is mess with all that, you can use my roles
There are several issues right now,
- in Ansible itself - ansible-collections/community.general#4708 (comment),
- in Homebrew with merging dockutil - Homebrew/homebrew-core#97394
- in dockutil - kcrawford/dockutil#127
- and in geerlingguy roles and collections, which depends on all that, mentioned in 1. and 2.
I've invested time to fix all that.
My roles:
- https://github.com/wayofdev/ansible-role-homebrew
- https://github.com/wayofdev/ansible-role-dock
- https://github.com/lotyp/homebrew-formulae
Third link can be replaced with hpedrorodrigues/tools/dockutil as @einSelbst mentioned
@geerlingguy I'm really sorry, as this looks like we are using your repo issues section for adverts for our code 😀
Hi @einSelbst @lotyp, I wanted to report back that the workaround for docktuil worked great. Thank you both.
Merging this discussion into #42, which is the original report.
Thanks for the feedback @geerlingguy . However, reading through #42 it doesnt seem to be related. This bug report is regarding the tool called -dockutil-, which places an app in the dock, but #42 is about dotfiles.
