OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.6

Scenario:

TLDR: /usr/local/bin/brew cask install atom is failing because it doesn't have permissions to ~/Library/Caches/Homebrew/Cask/atom

I'm running Nordstrom/chefdk_bootstrap. One of the steps is to run the homebrew::cask recipe:

Recipe: homebrew::cask
  * homebrew_tap[caskroom/cask] action tap
    * execute[tapping caskroom/cask] action run (skipped due to not_if)
     (up to date)
  * directory[/Library/Caches/Homebrew/Casks] action create (skipped due to only_if)

The install succeeds, but subsequent calls to /usr/local/bin/brew cask install <app_name> fail:

$ /usr/local/bin/brew cask install atom

==> Downloading https://github.com/atom/atom/releases/download/v1.11.1/atom-mac.zip
Error: Download failed on Cask 'atom' with message: Permission denied - /Users/pkaehuae/Library/Caches/Homebrew/Cask/atom--1.11.1.zip.incomplete

The workaround is to:

$ sudo chown -R $USER ~/Library/Caches/Homebrew/

While this remediates the issue, I feel like a better fix would be to add a block similar to the one below, but for ~/Library/Caches/Homebrew/ in addition to the one listed:

https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/homebrew/blob/master/recipes/cask.rb#L23-L27

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Run this line https://github.com/Nordstrom/chefdk_bootstrap/blob/master/recipes/mac_os_x.rb#L29 on a system that does not have Homebrew or Cask installed.
2. Run /usr/local/bin/brew cask install atom.
3. Verify error Error: Download failed on Cask 'atom' with message: Permission denied - /Users/pkaehuae/Library/Caches/Homebrew/Cask/atom--1.11.1.zip.incomplete
4. Run sudo chown -R $USER ~/Library/Caches/Homebrew/
5. Attempt atom install again: /usr/local/bin/brew cask install atom
6. Verify success.

Expected Result:

This is successful: /usr/local/bin/brew cask install atom

Actual Result:

Error: Download failed on Cask 'atom' with message: Permission denied - /Users/pkaehuae/Library/Caches/Homebrew/Cask/atom--1.11.1.zip.incomplete

I've heard a second report of this in the wild

I believe we've fixed this in the 4.0 release. Give it a try and feel free to open this back up if you're still seeing the issue
