swift xcode link-templates fails if homebrew is installed in custom location #16

Open

Description

@andrekandore

Summary

Running swift xcode link-templates when homebrew is installed somewhere other than /usr/local will cause the link to fail.

In my case, my homebrew is installed in ~/.homebrew so the swift-xcode-link-templates doesn't find it.

Expectation

swift-xcode-link-templates would work even if homebrew was installed in custom location (using $BREW_HOME for example)

Actual Result

swift-xcode-link-templates uses hardcoded /usr/local for the prefix.


Workaround

Define

export prefix="$BREW_HOME"

in .bash_profile, and swift xcode link-templates will find the homebrew dir.


Potential Solution

  1. Mention in README or Wiki about custom homebrew location explaning to define the workaround mentioned above.

  2. Change the script to use or at least check $BREW_HOME is defined or not and use as prefix.

  3. Define a different env variable for the link templates script specifically and mention in the README... something like SWIFT_XCODE_TEMPLATES_HOME


Sorry for the long report, but hope this is some use! ^^
