You won't find the formula in another tap when it's already qualified.
Ref: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issues/2497#issuecomment-294317628.> I find it baffling to call it "expected" brew would treat this case just as if I had typed brew install hybybzjfjnfnqqqqqqqqqq
It doesn't. "Searching for a previously deleted formula..." and "Searching for similarly named formulae..." are limited to qualified formulae in the tap specified. You can easily test this out yourself. That's why I said "Searching taps..." does nothing, because you'll never find the qualified formula in another tap. So missing formula handling code is definitely doing what it's expected to do.
> When brew sees that bar.rb is incorrectly formed (in whatever minor way that currently causes it to claim there is no such formula), it should raise a complaint and die.
And that is why I said it "probably could be handled better", but not the fault of missing formula handling code.
> it should raise a complaint and die...
Sure, raise a PR? This (as far as I understand) is an extremely narrow corner case, so someone needs to volunteer.@chdiza Your case probably could be handled better, but it is expected behavior. Well, I think "Searching taps..." does nothing here; but "Searching for a previously deleted formula..." and "Searching for similarly named formulae..." do very real things.Syntax error results in `FormulaUnreadableError` (`formulary.rb:28`), which subclasses `FormulaUnavailableError`, which in turn triggers missing formula code.
Maybe `FormulaUnreadableError` should not subclass `FormulaUnavailableError`.
