flash-player is not installed error

[amarendra]

I was moving cask installed apps to /Applications and then uninstalling them from Caskroom[1]. I got this error even though flash-player is installed:

amar@mac:driver_app_v2$ brew cask uninstall android-studio
==> Removing App symlink: '/Users/amar/Applications/Android Studio.app'

amar@mac:driver_app_v2$ brew cask uninstall flash-player
Error: flash-player is not installed

Since other apps' uninstalls went smooth I reported this.

[1] Leaving only those which don't install in versioned folders to avoid any issues (#12738) and also being a little apprehensive about a w.i.p app to handle all my apps (or most) on a daily use machine

brew cask list is broken, and we’re aware of the issue. Will be performing some restructuring that should fix this.

@vitorgalvao, are you sure brew cask list is broken? This seems like a typical case of the uninstall issue described in the FAQ: "For now, use the brew cask uninstall --force to uninstall these packages." My pull request #12076 basically points people to that immediately.

brew cask list, as far as I can tell, works fine, but uninstall is a bit broken.

[vitorgalvao]

Yes, I am sure. There is an issue about that (on a phone now, so won’t look for it).
