Error on execute a "brew services start mongodb-community" command

[RusselKL]

Apparently there is an outdated script for mongodb-community formula. When you try to execute brew services start [email protected] command this happens:

As you see it tries to find some plist_startup method and gives an error. I temporarily resolved this by commented this line in formula_wrapper.rb file, but I guess its not a solution))

The mongodb maintainers should update their formula. plist_startup has been removed from brew.

Hi @SMillerDev! I'm happy to open an issue upstream, but can you clarify how the mongodb-community formulae need to be updated? Specifically, I am running into this issue with [email protected], but from what I can tell, its formula does not reference plist_startup at all.

Instead, the references to plist_startup I can find are in homebrew-services itself. In fact, from what I can tell, the error seems to be specifically caused by the lack of a plist_startup in the [email protected] formula:

Error: undefined method `plist_startup' for #<Formula [email protected] (stable) /opt/homebrew/Library/Taps/mongodb/homebrew-brew/Formula/[email protected]>

If it helps color the issue at all, I am running into this issue after brew updateing to 4.2.0: is it possible this is caused by differing behavior between ruby 2.6 and ruby 3.1, or some other breaking change introduced in that update?

For those in this issue that may be interested the mongodb formula have been updated to work with homebrew 4.2.

Thanks @dmoody256!
