Warning: Calling brew autoupdate'. This command needs to be refactored, as it is written in a style that is deprecated! Use inherits from Homebrew::AbstractCommand' ( see docs.brew.sh/External-Commands ) instead. Please report this issue to the domt4/homebrew-autoupdate tap (not Homebrew/brew or Homebrew/homebrew-core), or even better, submit a PR to fix it: /opt/homebrew/Library/Taps/domt4/homebrew-autoupdate/cmd/autoupdate.rb:11 Error: The command already appears to have been started. Please run brew autoupdate delete and try again.

I suggest clarity in your answer that it is a third party tool, not a built-in command. One has to install it first using brew tap homebrew/autoupdate (Or is it domt4/?). The documentation is in the tool's own GitHub repo. Also, Homebrew has removed this tool from the list of "Official External Commands" (which actually means they are third-party tools).

The autoupdate link in my answer points to what I'm referring to. autoupdate is listed under the Official External Commands.

| Jan 19, 2023 at 16:23 | comment | added | tyrone copex | Are you referring to this (which is an autoupdate command using launchd): github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-autoupdate? If so, maybe clarify that it's not the built in autoupdate? Since the developer of that subcommand claims that: "This command mostly exists to ensure Homebrew is updated regardless of whether you invoke brew or not, which is the primary difference from the autoupdate mechanism built into brew, the latter requiring a user to explicitly run any of brew install, brew tap or brew upgrade." | |
