Homebrew formula template fails brew style: description says "command line" #725

Closed

Description

@longquanzheng

Observed

brew test-bot --only-tap-syntax on superdurable/homebrew-tap fails with:

Formula/dexcli.rb:2:42: C: [Correctable] FormulaAudit/Desc: Description should use "command-line" instead of "command line".

The tap's test-bot runs on every tap PR, so any PR to the tap (for example adding a new formula) fails while Formula/dexcli.rb carries this description. The tap copy was reworded by hand to Command-line tool to develop and operate Dex in superdurable/homebrew-tap#3, but the next dexcli release regenerates the formula from the template and would bring the offense back.

Where

  • cli/homebrew/dexcli.rb.tmpl (line 2: desc "Develop and operate Dex from the command line").

Acceptance

  • The template's desc passes brew style / brew audit --strict (for example Command-line tool to develop and operate Dex, matching the tap).
  • The next generated Formula/dexcli.rb passes the tap's brew test-bot --only-tap-syntax.
