I want to downgrade the swiftlint version on my MBP M1 Pro.
I installed it using brew install swiftlint
In homebrew/Cellar/swiftlint
the folder is 0.49.1
which I guess is the version installed on my machine.
I googled and tried a few methods. But non of them worked for me.
First:
brew install <url of older github raw file>
is not working
Second:
brew install [email protected]
was also not working
Third:
0.47.0
form github, extracted and created a new folder homebrew/Cellar/swiftlint/0.47.0
and pasted the content there. After double clicking on the executable file swiftlint starts running.brew switch swiftlint 0.47.0
but it was also not workinghomebrew/bin/swiftlint
and pasted new alias from homebrew/Cellar/swiftlint/0.47.0
folder's executable there, but it was also not working.Can anyone help me out what I am doing wrong, and what should be the correct steps.
I am new to macOS.
I have found a work around. Earlier I wasn't aware how files, applictions works in MacOS, where does the data for applications go.
I am writing down the steps for swiftlint
, maybe similar steps might be used to downgrade any other tool on MacOS (on M1 pro macbook).
What worked for me was:
xcode-select --print-path
was different so I changed it with sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
.swiftlint
using brew uninstall command..pkg
file of exact version I wanted, and installed it.portable zip
from same repository and extracted the contents and pasted them in homebrew/Cellar/swiftlint/
homebrew/bin
Then this exact version of swiftlint
was installed for me, and now it works fine.
Hope this helps someone.
