Lrwxr-xr-x 1 tomj admin 32B 21 Feb 03:52 /Applications/MacVim.app -> ~ $ ls -al /usr/local/opt/macvim And of course it opens fine when double-clicked from Finder/Path Finder.ĭirectory ~ $ ls -al /Applications/MacVim.app I have confirmed that /usr/local/Cellar/macvim/8.0-145/MacVim.app has the UTI of -bundle. And no symlinks are involved there at all. Something's changed at some point, given it previously picked up /usr/local/Cellar/macvim/8.0-144/MacVim.app but won't now pick up /usr/local/Cellar/macvim/8.0-145/MacVim.app. So clearly there's something it doesn't like about this MacVim.app - but what? But in the MacVim case, it still won't pick it up at alll, whether by /Applications or a direct search scope of /usr/local/Cellar, /usr/local/Cellar/macvim or even /usr/local/Cellar/macvim/8.0-145. But then I tried removing /usr/local/Cellar from my scopes, and Alfred still shows IDLE (even after closing and reopening), suggesting it must be following the /Applications symlink, even though it shows it at its real location, not the symlink it (presumably) found it via? Alfred does show IDLE, but it shows it on the latter link, in Cellar. Another example of a Homebrew symlink is /Applications/IDLE.app which links to /usr/local/opt/python/IDLE.app, where /usr/local/opt/python is a link to /usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.14_3. I am not sure if Alfred actually follows App symlinks. I then even added /usr/local/Cellar/macvim/8.0-145 to Search Scopes, so now the exact directory that contains MacVim.app is in scopes and it still won't appear!
I even tried adding /usr/local/Cellar/macvim, /usr/local/opt and /usr/local/opt/macvim as further search scope entries, but this didn't help.
#MACVIM PACKAGE VIA HOMEBREW INSTALL#
However up until tonight I was able to open MacVim via Alfred, because it had in its cache /usr/local/Cellar/macvim/8.0-144/MacVim.app (the true location of the version I previously had installed.) Sure enough, I see /usr/local/Cellar is in my Alfred search scopes I don't know if this was added by default, or if I added it myself years ago.īut I've now removed that old MacVim version, and Alfred is not now picking up the new install ( /usr/local/Cellar/macvim/8.0-140/MacVim.app) even though /usr/local/Cellar is in my search path. I don't know if this has always been the case or not. The problem is that Alfred does not detect /Applications/MacVim.app as an app - it never appears in the search results. usr/local/opt/macvim/MacVim.app is then further symlinked to /Applications/MacVim.app, meaning I always have an /Applications/ link to the latest version of MacVim.app. This directory is then symlinked to /usr/local/opt/macvim such that /usr/local/opt/macvim/MacVim.app is always pointing to the latest version. This currently installs MacVim.app as /usr/local/Cellar/macvim/8.0-145/MacVim.app.
