Bash Variable Not Updating

[kushvinth]

A variable computed inside a SketchyBar item script updates correctly when logged, but the label does not reliably update in the bar when switching between a numeric value and a glyph.

Issue

The Variable Should Return 7 as in the label but all we get is 1

Code

#!/bin/bash
source "$HOME/.config/sketchybar/colors.sh"
BREW_COUNT=$(brew outdated | wc -l | tr -d ' ') #7
# echo "COUNT: $BREW_COUNT" > /tmp/sketchybar_debug.log

if [ "$BREW_COUNT" -ge 30 ]; then
    COLOR=$RED
elif [ "$BREW_COUNT" -ge 10 ]; then
    COLOR=$ORANGE
elif [ "$BREW_COUNT" -ge 1 ]; then
    COLOR=$YELLOW
else
    COLOR=$GREEN
    BREW_COUNT=􀆅
fi

sketchybar --set "$NAME" icon.color="$COLOR" label="$BREW_COUNT"
