[homebrew] Error calling in resolve-bundle-name with null bundle name

[Techcable]

When I try to run jpm update-installed, I keep running into this error with an unexpected nil in resolve-bundle-name.

I've played around with this a bunch of different ways including several times reinstalling different components from scratch:

• jpm uninstall pkgs,
• jpm install pkgs
• brew reinstall janet
• jpm uninstall jpm
• brew reinstall janet

Here are the full logs: https://gist.github.com/Techcable/70b62f4a91a5168f4ca6adbfa7c8b28e

No matter what I try, I still get essentially the same error for jpm install-update. However at this point only output is that final stacktrace error: bad slot #1, expected string|symbol|keyword|buffer, got nil

This could be homebrew specific, and it might not be. I don't consider homebrew a particularly good package manager, but it's the de-facto standard for Macs and we should probably support it.

@Techcable Does this still happen for you?

The code may have changed since you posted, but FWIW, I was looking through the logs you shared and went spelunking. It looks like bundle-install is only called here inside update-installed.

It seems possible that the first argument, new-bundle, may have some unexpected value. That in turn looks like it may have originated from a file in the manifest directory.

Perhaps it's possible that there is some file in the manifests directory that has some bad data in it? Or may be some unexpected file is living in that directory?
