Description

During compilation with -vv flag "--actor-idl" appears twice in an invocation of moc-wrapper:

  • "--actor-idl" "/home/porton/Projects/zondirectory2/.dfx/local/canisters/idl/"
  • "--actor-idl" ".dfx/local/lsp"

Apparently, this is a bug.

$ dfx --version
dfx 0.20.0-icsystemtest.0+rev256.f4913345

Research direction

Start by reproducing the compilation with dfx 0.20.0-icsystemtest.0+rev256.f4913345 and -vv, then trace the moc-wrapper invocation and the sources of its two --actor-idl arguments. Done means the generated invocation contains each intended --actor-idl argument only once, with a regression test or equivalent verification.
