I am unable to disable quarantining.

I have the same issue, I tried all sorts of things with xattr to try to fix it in some way. If anybody has any pointers that would be great. I have a colleague next to me who has none of these issues on a very similar MacBook, so I'm kind of stumped.

That looks odd as same command is outputting different results. May want to try running it manually.

You could also try patching local https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/5.1.5/Library/Homebrew/cask/quarantine.rb#L110-L113 to see if print_stderr: true shows anything.

Beyond that, no idea for reason.

Same command with print_stderr set to true at line 113 of Homebrew/cask/quarantine.rb.

That looks quarantined as expected.

Sadly nothing obvious in logs so no idea what could be issue.

I 'fixed' it. Or at least I've worked around it for now. (Thanks for the pointer @cho-m). Running with --verbose --debug I noticed that there are multiple invocations of the /usr/bin/xattr -p com.apple.quarantine ... command. The first one was really fast, the last one was quite slow (seconds). I've poked around a bit in the file that @cho-m mentioned:

https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/5.1.5/Library/Homebrew/cask/quarantine.rb#L110-L113

I've added some debug lines:

    def self.status(file)
      # sleep(30)
      x = system_command(xattr,
                     args:         ["-p", QUARANTINE_ATTRIBUTE, file],
                     print_stderr: false)

      odebug "FOO: #{x.stdout} #{x.stderr} #{x.success?} #{x.exit_status}"
      x.stdout.rstrip
    end

The result:

So the first time around it gave a result: true, exit_code: 0 with stdout. The second time around (after those few seconds) it gave me result: false and no exit code (?).

I don't have a clear idea what could cause that, but it seems as if it's timing out somewhere (?). I expected some interference of Microsoft Defender that maybe was scanning the file at the same time or something. I added the sleep(30) and.. voila everything started working suddenly.

Not sure what the real fix is though, maybe a longer 'timeout' (although I see none specified) or a retry if the exit_code is non-zero? Either way it's not really nice to ignore a non-zero exit code I suppose.
