Description of issue

After running brew install --cask dbeaver-community for version 24.0.0 of DBeaver, running:

> dbeaver
zsh: command not found: dbeaver

Here is my request: having dbeaver show up in PATH after running brew install.

---

Aside: I wasn't sure where else/how else to make a feature request, as https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask has no issue templates for a feature request

Casks just use the upstream installer, so you should ask them

[jamesbraza]

When you say "them", is it dbeaver?

[SMillerDev]

The upstream developers, yes

[daeho-ro]

It can be achieved by copy the binary from the DBeaver.app to the homebrew bin, here is an example output.

// Don't try, this is only possible in my local with fixed homebrew cask file.
brew reinstall dbeaver-community

But, the logs are printed and so I am not sure that is worth or not.

[jamesbraza]

@daeho-ro can you share the code you used? I will open a PR for this, unless you wanted to

[daeho-ro]

Here is the PR, Homebrew/homebrew-cask#169367. The binary could conflict by the other edition, so I change the binary name as dbeaver-ce but you can simply alias it.

[daeho-ro]

For some reason, the binary name is not changed and so you can now use dbeaver after reinstall the package.
