Homebrew install fails: checksum mismatch for chatmock (v1.35) — artifact changed without updating formula

[wzh4869]

Hi! 👋

I’m unable to install ChatMock via Homebrew because of a checksum mismatch.

Steps to reproduce

1. brew tap RayBytes/chatmock
2. brew install chatmock

Observed behavior
Homebrew stops with:

Error: Formula reports different checksum:
Formula expects: 0f710e100d325effe0cd927845e40bbc98aa7d20e6c3eefb87428c876b2168bf
Downloaded file: a2d6c7bb23f859d90a598a9efdf0eaa69305e53d04ecff0d7f7629485617f05e

Expected behavior
brew install chatmock should succeed.

Notes / likely cause
This typically happens when a release/tarball (or the file referenced by the formula URL) was re-uploaded/modified in-place,
but the SHA-256 in the Homebrew formula wasn’t updated (or CDN/cache is serving a different file than the one the formula was hashed against).

Suggested fix
Recompute the SHA-256 for the currently served artifact and update the Homebrew formula checksum; OR
Publish a new version (e.g., v1.35.1) instead of replacing artifacts for an existing version.

Thanks for maintaining ChatMock!

For those who want to work around this, you can run:

brew edit chatmock

Then update the SHA line to read:

  sha256 "a2d6c7bb23f859d90a598a9efdf0eaa69305e53d04ecff0d7f7629485617f05e"

Afterwards, brew install chatmock should work. Note that this isn't generally advised as the SHA exists to ensure that packages haven't been hijacked but 🤷 - I needed to install this.
