"No available cask" error for any cask I try to install

Well, I just updated my brew and installed brew-cask formula on my machine after a brew tap phinze/cask command. Then I did brew cask install vagrant to install Vagrant and it suddenly popped this out: Error: No available cask for vagrant. Trying to figure out what's wrong I noticed that it's failing for ANY cask, neither the brew cask search works.

Am I missing any step? Shouldn't it work?

My brew cask doctor output:

Solution

  • So it was buggy (issue #4032) and they fixed this unwelcome issue with Homebrew Cask 0.33.0 release.

    To update, just run brew update && brew upgrade brew-cask and everything should work fine. :)
