Open the failing log

Locate the
Possible conflicting files
part and extract the filenames before each->
. -
Open a PR similar to PR #563.
Comprehensive example:
==> Upgrading tcl-tk
8.6.13 -> 8.6.13_1
==> Pouring tcl-tk--8.6.13_1.monterey.bottle.tar.gz
Error: The `brew link` step did not complete successfully
The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local
Could not symlink lib/libtcl8.6.dylib
Target /usr/local/lib/libtcl8.6.dylib
is a symlink belonging to tcl-tk. You can unlink it:
brew unlink tcl-tk
To force the link and overwrite all conflicting files:
brew link --overwrite tcl-tk
To list all files that would be deleted:
brew link --overwrite --dry-run tcl-tk
Possible conflicting files are:
/usr/local/lib/libtcl8.6.dylib -> /usr/local/Cellar/tcl-tk/8.6.13/lib/libtcl8.6.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libtk8.6.dylib -> /usr/local/Cellar/tcl-tk/8.6.13/lib/libtk8.6.dylib
Hence:
/usr/local/lib/libtcl8.6.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libtk8.6.dylib
Then, add these lines in .ci-macosx.sh:
Finally, commit (chore(macos): Fix `brew upgrade` failure
), push, and squash-merge.
