After a cask upgrade installs a new app bundle,
open -b <bundle_id>can fail with LSCopyApplicationURLsForBundleIdentifier() failed because Launch Services hasn't re-indexed the new bundle yet.Fix this by running
lsregisteron each newly installed .app artifact before attempting to reopen by bundle ID. This forces synchronous LS re-registration and has negligible overhead relative to the preceding download and install. Note: this only applies toappstanzas.In testing this does not extend the time it takes to run
brew upgradean discernible amount.brew lgtm(style, typechecking and tests) with your changes locally?I used
