Verification

  • My "brew doctor output" above says Your system is ready to brew. and am still able to reproduce my issue.
  • I ran brew update twice and am still able to reproduce my issue.
  • This issue's title and/or description do not reference a single formula e.g. brew install wget. If they do, open an issue at https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/new/choose instead.

What were you trying to do (and why)?

I was trying to use various commands for normal day-to-day operations:

  • cd sandbox
  • code .
  • brew config

What happened (include all command output)?

After every command, regardless of its purpose or success, the following message appears:

What did you expect to happen?

I expected commands to execute normally without this cleanup message appearing every time.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running brew commands)

Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running brew commands):

Run any Homebrew command, for example:
brew update

Observe the normal output of the command.
Notice that the cleanup message appears at the end of the output.

Try another command, such as:
brew config

Again, observe that the cleanup message appears after the normal output.

This behavior occurs consistently with every terminal command, including brew --version, brew doctor, etc.

Additional Information:

- The issue persists after running brew update multiple times.
- The main brew script at /opt/homebrew/bin/brew appears to be normal and unmodified.
- The brew --version command outputs the version number correctly without the cleanup message.
- The issue occurs in both interactive and non-interactive shell sessions.

[...]
The brew --version command outputs the version number correctly without the cleanup message.

So does brew --version work correctly, or not? I'm betting it fails just like all the others, but please confirm one way or another.

Also, what's the output of type brew?

@gromgit Sorry for not mentioning in the original bug report, but I also ran those commands as well:

I think this is a one-time thing. No one else reported it. I tried downgrading but still got the Error: invalid option: -l. Yesterday, everything was fine. This morning, I sat down to work, and the error came up.

OK, so your brew isn't a wrapper or something else that's running brew cleanup with improper args. That leaves:

  • a changed Homebrew install - brew update-reset should take care of that, or
  • (more likely, if it happens with non-homebred commands like ls as well) it's being run by your shell before each prompt - check $PROMPT_COMMAND (bash) or your precmd-related hooks (zsh)

brew update-reset indeed resolved this issue for me. Thank you @gromgit 🙇
