brew cask install is deprecated in favour of brew install --cask

[emilecantin]

At the moment, I can't install any Casks using the role; I get errors like these:

failed: [127.0.0.1] (item=balenaetcher) => {"ansible_loop_var": "item", "changed": false, "item": "balenaetcher", "msg": "Error: Calling brew cask install is disabled! Use brew install [--cask] instead."}

Looks like Homebrew themselves deprecated the brew cask install command in the latest version.

I'd submit a PR, but I'm relatively new to ansible and really can't understand how the install command is generated, so a bug report will have to do.

Thanks; marking this appropriately so people see it more easily.

This will also affect Ansible 2.9 and earlier (for those locked into older versions).

Is there a work around?

Just a note that the blocking issue is now closed.

You can install community.general from HEAD to get this working right now: ansible-galaxy collection install --force git+https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general.git

Tested locally.

This should be working now, as the latest Ansible releases include it :)
