when I tried downloading from homebrew, it did not work:

It's clear to me right off the bat, that the version in the brew formula is wrong (our version is 0.0.55, the version in the formula is 0.0.52)

Thanks for reporting. I'm investigating why the Homebrew formula wasn't updated.

Question: Is the BREW_TAP_ENABLED variable set to true in your Forgejo repository settings (Settings → Actions → Variables)?

The CI workflow should automatically update the Homebrew formula when this variable is enabled, but if it's not set, the update step silently skips.

BREW_TAP_ENABLED is set to true. The issue must be in the workflow.

I found the issue. The Homebrew formula still points to v0.0.52, not the current v0.0.55.

What I see:

  • Release v0.0.52 has bottles named corten-0.0.52.x86_64.bottle.tar.gz (missing _linux suffix)
  • Release v0.0.55 has correct bottles named corten-0.0.55.x86_64_linux.bottle.tar.gz
  • But the formula URL says https://forge.akinus21.com/akinus/corten/releases/download/v0.0.52/corten

This means the "Update homebrew formula" step is not working. The formula was never updated after v0.0.52.

Let me investigate the workflow step.

Found the bug! The workflow YAML had invalid syntax on line 198:

git clone https://${{ env.TAP_TOKEN }}@${{ env.GITHUB_SERVER_URL.replace('https://', '') }}/...

GHA expressions don't support .replace() method calls. I fixed it using bash parameter expansion:

GITHUB_SERVER_HOST="${GITHUB_SERVER_URL#https://}"
git clone "https://${{ env.TAP_TOKEN }}@${GITHUB_SERVER_HOST}/..."

This bug was causing the entire workflow to fail parsing, so no releases were being created since v0.0.52. I've pushed the fix. Once verify passes on devops, a new release will be created that properly updates the Homebrew formula.

I've pushed the fix to main (commit 2c4785e), but the workflow doesn't seem to have triggered. This might be because:

  1. The workflow was disabled after the YAML became invalid
  2. Or Forgejo is caching the invalid workflow state

Can you check in Forgejo:

  • Go to: Repository → Settings → Actions
  • Verify the workflow is enabled
  • If not, enable it

Or you can manually trigger it from: Repository → Actions → Select workflow → Run workflow

The push to main did not trigger the workflow. Can you manually trigger it?

Go to: Repository -> Actions -> Pipeline -> Run workflow -> Select main branch

Or push an empty commit to main:
git checkout main
git commit --allow-empty -m "trigger CI"
git push origin main

The fix worked! The Homebrew formula has been updated to v0.0.56.

Root cause: The workflow YAML had invalid syntax with .replace() method call in GHA expression, which caused the entire workflow to fail parsing. This broke the release pipeline since v0.0.52.

Fix applied: Changed ${{ env.GITHUB_SERVER_URL.replace(...) }} to bash parameter expansion ${GITHUB_SERVER_URL#https://}.

Please try brew upgrade corten again - it should now work with v0.0.56.
