Important: Do not tick a checkbox if you haven’t performed its action. Honesty is indispensable for a smooth review process.

In the following questions <cask> is the token of the cask you're submitting.

After making any changes to a cask, existing or new, verify:

• The submission is for a stable version or documented exception.
• brew audit --cask --online <cask> is error-free.
• brew style --fix <cask> reports no offenses.

Additionally, if adding a new cask:

• Named the cask according to the token reference.
• Checked the cask was not already refused (add your cask's name to the end of the search field).
• brew audit --cask --new <cask> worked successfully.
• HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_FROM_API=1 brew install --cask <cask> worked successfully.
• brew uninstall --cask <cask> worked successfully.

I'm opening this as a draft for now, because I need a little help: after being installed, this doesn't work out-of-the-box, because it includes a macOS "Driver Extension." I couldn't find anything in the Homebrew docs about this, is there a particular programmatic way to handle this?

At the moment, the workaround is to manually launch the 3DconnexionHelper.app that's included when this installs, which will then cause the system-prompt to enable the driver extension. After this, it will show up in System Preferences.

The 3Dconnexion applications handle this, for the most part, prompting you to go into system prefs and enable it; but it doesn't appear in system prefs until you've launched the helper-app at least once:

Any feedback? Is there a best-practices for driver extensions?

Also, the uninstall script isn't working for me - and I don't understand why. I thought maybe there were some shenanigans w/ trying to use the git upstream or something, but even after pushing this branch and opening the PR, brew uninstall is running … the old code?

$ brew uninstall --cask 3dconnexion
==> Uninstalling Cask 3dconnexion
==> Removing launchctl service com.3dconnexion.helper
Password:
==> Removing launchctl service com.3dconnexion.nlserverIPalias
==> Running uninstall script /Applications/3Dconnexion/Uninstall 3Dconnexion Driver.app/Contents/Resources/rm3dcx
Error: uninstall script /Applications/3Dconnexion/Uninstall 3Dconnexion Driver.app/Contents/Resources/rm3dcx does not exist.

Note the diff - it shouldn't be trying to run that path, which doesn't exist anymore:

There's also an unrelated failure in CI that I'm not getting locally - something wonky with the permissions of some of the crap this driver installs in /Applications:

Try running your tests with HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_FROM_API=1 - brew often uses its API for installs and the like, which is faster but not what you want for development.

For the rest of the questions, I don't have the experience nor the knowledge to answer those.

This PR is getting a bit stale, so please open a new one when you have time to fix the uninstall.
