hello i have nearly the same thing on catalina 10.15.7. The app launches but nothing appears in the list.
I just type the command : echo "eval $(/usr/local/Homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)" >> .zshrc
and now the lists appears. Hope it will help

[insec404]

echo "eval $(/usr/local/Homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)" >> .zshrc

I tried this but it still shows nothing for me

@drveresh
Based on the logs: brew: command not found
Could you try to verify if brew (which brew) command works for you in terminal?
More info https://brew.sh/

I have this:

user$ which brew
brew is /usr/local/bin/brew

Updated PATH to use /usr/local/bin/

I've just tried to install and run on Sequoia 15.2 and I'm also seeing none of the brew commands succeed.

In my case:

$ which brew                                                                                                         
/opt/homebrew/bin/brew

Unsure what might be unusual here.

@andypiper is there a way to reproduce? also perhaps we can see something from the logs file 'logsbrewmate.txt'?

[andypiper]

Here's the log file - there's a week gap in the middle where I'd removed the app, and then put it back again for this test.
logsbrewmate.txt

environment:

• MBP 2021, M1 Pro chip
• macOS 15.3 (pretty clean / recent reinstall)
• zsh
• latest homebrew brew --version -> Homebrew 4.4.19-21-g9b6de82
• brew doctor reports system ready to brew

I'm not sure how reproducible for anyone else; I only have this one Mac to test with myself.

Added /bin/sh path in PR 154
Could you have a try with app version 0.4.4

brew upgrade brewmate

?

(sorry, I was at FOSDEM and did not have a chance to follow up)

I've tried 0.4.5 and I'm still seeing this issue.

It just does not seem to find my brew installation (which is in the standard place, /opt/homebrew/bin/brew on Apple Silicon).

FWIW my user's shell is zsh, not /bin/sh. I think the homebrew paths are set in the .zshrc file, so presumably this app is not running with the correct paths?

[andypiper]

Confirmed to work when /opt/homebrew/bin is added to the path in cli.ts (per the Homebrew docs)
