- When the user tried `brew search foo` with `--eval-all` or its
envvar, it would fail with
`Error: Invalid usage: `--eval-all` cannot be passed without `--desc`.`
- This was the wrong way around: `--desc` depends on `--eval-all`.
- use e.g. `$HOMEBREW_*` for cases where only the environment variable
is the entire backtick-quoted string
- use e.g. `${HOMEBREW_*}` for cases where the environment variable is
part of a backtick-quoted string to make clear what parts are variable
and what parts are not
- use `export HOMEBREW_*=...` for cases where we're talking about
setting the environment variable (because it likely needs to be
exported to work how they want)
Inspired by https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-bundle/pull/1579 making
similar changes for Homebrew/homebrew-bundle.
Both `brew search --desc` and `brew desc --search` use API for cask and
formula searches unless `--eval-all` or `HOMEBREW_EVAL_ALL` set.
Description searches do not use the description cache or eval any
formulas/casks.
- With `--eval-all`, description search reverts to the old behavior.
- Warn if description search exludes any formulae/casks (because
`--eval-all` not set).
- Enforce `--eval-all` requirement if NO_INSTALL_FROM_API set.
- Instead use class methods.
- This is better than use it as a mixin
when only a small number of methods are
used in each class or module.
- It also allows us to conditionally
require it in `brew install`.
- Removed unused search require in descriptions.rb.
Now the search_name method takes the command line
args and only returns package types that line up
with those args.
That means it will only return casks if casks are valid
and same with formulae.
- provide specific install instructions
when a cask/formula doesn't exist
and we search for similar ones
- print and exit early if a named formula that
was removed recently has the same name
- exit early if the tap is specified because
we don't get good search results
- Move `search_names` and `print_missing_formula_help` out of `cmd/search.rb` to `search.rb`
- Change to using those functions in `cmd/install.rb` when a formula or cask doesn't exist
We added the `--all` flag (now renamed to `--eval-all`) for various
commands for this behaviour so let's start deprecating this.
Also, introduce a `HOMEBREW_EVAL_ALL` environment variable to use the
existing, less secure, behaviour by default and avoid passing
`--eval-all` everywhere.
I often find myself checking Repology to quickly reference how other
package managers handle certain things, so it seems useful to be able to
do so with `brew search`.
While we're here, let's fix the query URL for MacPorts.
