font-bona-nova installation fails about homebrew-cask-fonts HOT 14 CLOSED

I had the same issue with another font. It looks like when the Google Fonts repository is being checked out the script expects a .git/info directory to be there but that isn't being created. Manually creating that with e.g. mkdir ~/Library/Caches/Homebrew/Cask/font-{font}--git-sparse/.git/info and re-running brew install --cask font-{font} worked around the issue for me.

This happens for me for every font that is being downloaded from Google Fonts (i.e., the https://github.com/google/fonts.git repo). The workaround by @adamaveray helped.

I just had a quick look into this and I'm pretty sure @adamaveray is correct—we're assuming the .git/info directory exists, but that's not always true.

I've submitted a PR that should fix this here Homebrew/brew#14957.

@andypiper it seems like you're using the same version of git as me, so I'm curious why this was happening for you. Would you mind sharing your global .gitconfig file?

You're spot on, no, the template doesn't include that directory - good sleuthing!

🍺  font-bona-nova was successfully installed!

I assume that this was just a temporary issue,. so please just try installing again.

from homebrew-cask-fonts.

Still happening here:

$ brew install font-bona-nova
==> Cloning https://github.com/google/fonts.git
Updating /Users/andypiper/Library/Caches/Homebrew/Cask/font-bona-nova--git-sparse
Error: Download failed on Cask 'font-bona-nova' with message: No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - /Users/andypiper/Library/Caches/Homebrew/Cask/font-bona-nova--git-sparse/.git/info/.sparse-checkout20230109-95742-jo7pbc

I've tried removing any existing cached content in the Cask folder, but the problem recurs.

Please post the output of brew config and perhaps try installing with the --no-quarantine flag.

@hmarr Any ideas on what is happening here?

sure thing, ~/.gitconfig is as follows:

[filter "lfs"]
        required = true
        clean = git-lfs clean -- %f
        smudge = git-lfs smudge -- %f
        process = git-lfs filter-process

        name = [redacted]
        email = [redacted]
        signingkey = [redacted]
[pull]
        rebase = false
[commit]
        gpgSign = true
[tag]
        gpgSign = true
[gpg]
    program = /opt/homebrew/bin/gpg
[init]
        defaultBranch = main
        templatedir = /Users/[redacted]/.git-templates
[push]
        autoSetupRemote = true

from homebrew-cask-fonts.

I suspect templatedir = /Users/[redacted]/.git-templates is the reason we're getting different results. The default template directory (/opt/homebrew/Cellar/git/2.39.1/share/git-core/templates on my machine) includes a file named info/exclude, which is probably why most people get the .git/info directory created out of the box. @andypiper I assume your template directory doesn't include an info directory?

Anyway I think this just confirms that Homebrew/brew#14957 is the right solution!
