- This method, called from `brew extract` in the case of extraction from third-party taps, was untested. This led to it breaking when we refactored some of it to appease Sorbet (see PR 7933). If I make the same (flawed) change here and run these tests, they fail. - There's a fair bit going on here, but most of it is setup for committing changes to more files, as we're testing operations on multiple files in a Homebrew repo. - I originally tried to write tests for `brew extract`, but that required _a lot_ of refactoring because those tests (and their helper methods) aren't designed for third-party taps - they rely on `CoreTap`. So testing the underlying method is a better solution.

Contributing
We'd love you to contribute to Homebrew. First, please read our Contribution Guide and Code of Conduct.
We explicitly welcome contributions from people who have never contributed to open-source before: we were all beginners once! We can help build on a partially working pull request with the aim of getting it merged. We are also actively seeking to diversify our contributors and especially welcome contributions from women from all backgrounds and people of colour.
A good starting point for contributing is running brew audit --strict with some of the packages you use (e.g. brew audit --strict wget if you use wget) and then read through the warnings, try to fix them until brew audit --strict shows no results and submit a pull request. If no formulae you use have warnings you can run brew audit --strict without arguments to have it run on all packages and pick one.
Alternatively, for something more substantial, check out one of the issues labeled help wanted in Homebrew/brew or Homebrew/homebrew-core.
Good luck!
