Cask package failing because of svn

[clyra]

Hi,

My (almost) unattended Mac install is failing because one cask package requires the svn command. Here's the error:

failed: [127.0.0.1] (item=font-fira-mono-for-powerline) => changed=false 
  ansible_loop_var: item
  item: font-fira-mono-for-powerline
  msg: |-
    You must: brew install svn
    Error: Download failed on Cask 'font-fira-mono-for-powerline' with message: Failure while executing; `svn checkout https://github.com/powerline/fonts/trunk/FiraMono /Users/lyra/Library/Caches/Homebrew/Cask/font-fira-mono-for-powerline--svn --quiet` exited with 1. Here's the output:
    You must: brew install svn

Adding svn to the homebrew packages doesn't work because the task with cask packages fails, and the brew packages task doesn't get a chance to run. One possible ease fix is to call the brew packages task before the cask one ?

I also ran into this trying to migrate from a custom homebrew role to this role.

I also just ran into this problem while trying to install a cask font.

Can you give an example of one of the packages that fails to install? Is it just font-fira-mono-for-powerline?

I'd like to be able to replicate the problem before changing the order of the tasks in the role.

I use very few fonts, but fails with these too:

• font-hack-nerd-font
• font-meslo-lg-nerd-font

I did a quick grep inside the homebrew folder and found various references to svn like these:

Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask-fonts/Casks/font-athiti.rb: using: :svn Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask-fonts/Casks/font-tsukimi-rounded.rb: using: :svn Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask-fonts/Casks/font-zilla-slab-highlight.rb: using: :svn Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask-fonts/Casks/font-monofur-for-powerline.rb: using: :svn Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask-fonts/Casks/font-the-nautigal.rb: using: :svn

maybe this a kind of pattern to download fonts?

Is there a reason to do the cask packages first instead of the "cli" ones? May we break something if we change the order?

Also, I encountered this issue with font-source-code-pro EDIT: But i was able to get around it by running a post-task and installing there:

- name: "Install source code pro font"
      ansible.builtin.command:
        cmd: "{{ homebrew_brew_bin_path }}/brew install --cask font-source-code-pro"
