zsh problem: compinit:503: no such file or directory: /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_brew
MacosZshApple M1Macos Problem Overview
I am using apple M1 MacBook pro.
When I installed oh my zsh. When I addedexport PATH="/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH"
to my ~/.zshrc file. This error was shown in my terminal:
joe :: share/zsh/site-functions » source ~/.zshrc
compinit:503: no such file or directory: /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_brew
compinit:503: no such file or directory: /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_brew_cask
However, I checked and found that these two files do exsist. Can someone tell me that the problem is?
This is my ~/.zshrc file:

I had a similar issue. I ran brew cleanup
which fixed the symlinks.
Solution 2 - Macos
An approach a little bit more detailed would be:
brew doctor
brew cleanup
source ~/.zshrc
Or one line:
brew doctor && brew cleanup && source ~/.zshrc
After this, you can see if you get any errors after using source.

I had the same this issue which I noticed when updating my dot files.
On the M1 I went from Intel brew to Intel and ARM brew then to just the ARM version. The problem for me was caused by two symbolic links pointing to the Intel version, which no longer existed, and not the ARM version.
I repaired it by changing the symbolic links to point to the right locations for the ARM version.
ln -fsv /opt/homebrew/completions/zsh/_brew /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_brew
ln -fsv /opt/homebrew/completions/zsh/_brew /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_brew_cask
thus
lrwxr-xr-x 35 xxxx 2 Jun 16:02 _brew -> /opt/homebrew/completions/zsh/_brew
lrwxr-xr-x 35 xxxx 2 Jun 16:01 _brew_cask -> /opt/homebrew/completions/zsh/_brew
I think _brew_cask pointing to the same _brew is okay since casks have been merged.

@sinestandly's answer above worked for me after the other methods failed. I ran brew install zsh-completions
and then brew cleanup
. The cleanup
stopped throwing errors and I no longer get the error message compinit:503: no such file or directory: /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_brew_cask
.
Thank you, @sinestandly!

According to https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/45009
try
sudo chown -R $(whoami):admin /usr/local/* \ && sudo chmod -R g+rwx /usr/local/*
then
brew cleanup
Solution 6 - Macos
True, the easiest way to fix this problem is run: brew cleanup
Just, don't forget that run this command with the x86 brew version if u kept both of arm and x86 version.
This was a very low-level mistake of mine, I tried numerous times to fail with the default brew command (I installed it by the script and it already linked to the new arm version) before I finally realised I needed to use x86 brew to execute the cleanup
command.

I got this issue after uninstalling brew. Just remove it if you've done the same:
rm -rf /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_brew
Solution 8 - Macos
Turns out these files are aliases of other two files that did not exist.
This is because the Homebrew of M1 macbook is under/opt/homebrew/
but the zsh assumed it is still under /usr/local
.
So I deleted the two aliases and made new ones pointing to where the files actually are:/opt/homebrew/completions/zsh/_brew
and/opt/homebrew/completions/zsh/_brew_cask
.
Then I usedsource ~/.zshrc
. No error messages. Problem solved!
Solution 9 - Macos
brew install zsh-completions
Fixed it.
Solution 10 - Macos
All Homebrew completions were broken in my case, running on Apple Silicon. The move from /usr/local
to /opt/homebrew
in Homebrew 3.0.0 seems to be the issue.
I appended the new directory to FPATH
in ~/.zshrc
like so:
HOMEBREW_PREFIX=$(brew --prefix)
export FPATH="${HOMEBREW_PREFIX}/share/zsh/site-functions:${FPATH}"
If running Oh-My-Zsh, the lines need to go above the line that sources OMZ, since it does some completion magic of its own. Also remember to clean out your .zcomdump -files, which will be re-created.

Got similar issue after I upgraded to macOS Bigsur. Got it fixed after doing brew update
Solution 12 - Macos
Got the similar issue with another path, even doesn't mentioned in my .zshrc
Running brew update && brew upgrade
solved this.
