brew install not working when older fishtown tap is known

[bleonard]

I have don brew update but the older fishtown-analytics taps seem to remain.

Just doing brew install dbt get this:

➜  ~ brew install dbt
Error: Formulae found in multiple taps: 
       * dbt-labs/dbt/dbt
       * fishtown-analytics/dbt/dbt

But when I do the fully qualified name, there is still an issue.

➜  ~ brew install dbt-labs/dbt/dbt
==> Installing dbt from dbt-labs/dbt
==> Downloading https://ghcr.io/v2/homebrew/core/openssl/1.1/manifests/1.1.1l
....
==> /opt/homebrew/Cellar/dbt/0.20.1_1/libexec/bin/pip install -v --no-deps --no-binary :all: --ignore-installed /priv
Error: Formulae found in multiple taps: 
       * dbt-labs/dbt/[email protected]
       * fishtown-analytics/dbt/[email protected]

Please use the fully-qualified name (e.g. dbt-labs/dbt/[email protected]) to refer to the formula.

Maybe somewhere inside the tap is a reference that is not qualified?

I suppose, it's also odd that the old version (0.12.2) is referenced somewhere at all.

Trying to run brew install dbt again after "forgetting" about the old taps I must have added in the past.

➜  ~ brew untap fishtown-analytics/dbt

It seemed to think dbt was done even though it had exited early before:

➜  ~ brew uninstall dbt

Ok, trying again:

@bleonard Thanks for opening! Totally get the confusion here; if you've previously tapped fishtown-analytics/dbt, I do recommend taking some time—seriously, lunch or an extended coffee break—to run:

brew untap fishtown-analytics/dbt --force
brew tap dbt-labs/dbt
brew install dbt

That should re-point your local installation from the formulae at https://github.com/fishtown-analytics/homebrew-dbt to those at https://github.com/dbt-labs/homebrew-dbt, and enable you to run:

• brew upgrade dbt as future (final) versions are released
• brew install [email protected] as we push prereleases live

This should be quite straightforward for any totally new users of dbt + Homebrew, following the steps we've documentedhttps://docs.getdbt.com/dbt-cli/installation#homebrew). I don't know if there's a way we can ease this transition for existing Homebrew + dbt users.

FYI We're planning to rework that way that dbt is distributed and installed quite soon (#3361). I'm going to hold off on updating those installation docs until we've carried out those changes. When I do, I'll be sure to include a note regarding folks who had previously tapped fistown-analytics/dbt.

Yeah, I figured that out. I left it open because there still looked to be a piece of the formula that was non canonical.

➜  ~ brew install dbt-labs/dbt/dbt

==> Downloading https://ghcr.io/v2/homebrew/core/openssl/1.1/manifests/1.1.1l

Error: Formulae found in multiple taps:

       * fishtown-analytics/dbt/[email protected]

Please use the fully-qualified name (e.g. dbt-labs/dbt/[email protected]) to refer to the formula.

Feel free to close if not a priority.
