Description
I have a project with multiple dependencies and targets. After successfully setting up the majority of the project I was attempting to add a new framework, ran xcodegen generate and it produced the following error:
and deleted everything in my project folder, including the git history, where I was tracking changes as I created the project.yml.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure with xcodegen generate using the project's project.yml and the dependency and target setup described in the report. Investigate the generation path that runs when an error occurs; done means a failed generation no longer deletes the project folder or its Git history.
