Homebrew packages can't be asserted via the host.package module on Linux #788
Description
Would it be possible to make it work for Linux too? It only works for macOS at the moment.
As an alternative if this helps anyone, I am doing this:
# host.package doesn't work with homebrew packages on Linux
def test_homebrew_packages(host):
packages = {
'git-delta': re.compile(r'delta \d+\.\d+\.\d+', re.M),
'hub': re.compile(r'hub version .*', re.M),
}
for package, version_re in packages.items():
version = host.run("bash -l -c " + package + " --version").stdout
assert version_re.match(version)Not as robust as using the package module but better than nothing.
