brew not in path

[werebus]

@alocke8181 encountered /opt/homebrew/bin not being in their path after strapping.

I don't remember that being a thing we had to work-around in the past, but maybe... (I only have access to an "Intel" Mac for testing, so it might be an Apple Silicon problem only)

VirtualBox here I come...

Confirmed. Fresh install of 14.6 in a UTM virtual machine did not have brew accessible by path, but homebrew did get installed. Just need to add in the recommended path export to .zshrc!

Does this issue not occur on Intel machines? Seems like a strange regression if so

[werebus]

Homebrew installs itself in /usr/local/ on Intel Macs, and /usr/local/bin is already in the $PATH. Homebrew does(did) this because it made brew just work.

On Apple Silicon Macs, Homebrew does not install in /usr/local, but to /opt/homebrew instead - they do this in order to allow it to coexist with a Rosetta 2 version.

I don't really know that this is a regression, per se. It's the sort of thing that's pretty easy to fix, so folks may have just been... Googling it, asking another dev, etc. And, FWIW, when you install Homebrew the "normal" way, it also doesn't add it to your path, but it does tell you how to do it.
