Install a previous version of chromedriver with brew

问题

I want to install chromedriver version 79.0.3945.36 with brew. When I try to run

 brew cask install chromedriver@79.0.3945.36

It fails saying chromedriver@79.0.3945.36 is unavailable: No Cask with this name exists.

回答1:

I did a quick check, did not find cask formula has versioned ones.

The hack way of installing a old version of cask formula would be:

• cd /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask, go the place where cask is referenced
• git reset --hard c3c1b84b7a, this would effective set chromedriver to v79.0.3945.36
• git checkout -b temp, checkout a new branch, which prevents brew auto-refresh your local master
• brew cask install chromedriver, this would install your desired version.

After that you can always do git checkout master and brew up to keep in sync with the latest master of homebrew-cask.

here is my installation log
