Carthage: Building Carthage fails with Xcode 11 Beta 4

[DavidBrunow]

From @henrysaintjuste:

Totally unrelated, but looking to install some dependencies for Xcode 11 & Swift 5.1
I cloned the Carthage repo and ran make install, but got an error. Below is the error output, could you point me in the right direction to successfully run make install?

:0: error: fatal error encountered during compilation; please file a bug report with your project and the crash log
:0: note: Type variable id overflow

make: * [installables] Error 1

[DavidBrunow]

I clone your repo from https://github.com/Shepherd-Dog/Carthage.git, ran make install and still got the same error. Are there any prerequisite needed for a successful install?

@henrysaintjuste: Sorry I didn't expect you to clone the repo and I just realized that the link I shared wasn't useful. The problem is that the Swift compiler cannot figure what type of thing nil is on this line (line 73):

                <*> mode <| Option(key: "log-path", defaultValue: nil, usage: "path to the xcode build output. A temporary file is used by default")    

To resolve that issue you can declare a variable that has type information and pass that in instead:

            let defaultValue: String? = nil

...

                               <*> mode <| Option(key: "log-path", defaultValue: defaultValue, usage: "path to the xcode build output. A temporary file is used by default")

Hopefully that makes sense.

[henrysaintjuste]

@DavidBrunow Thanks man, I appreciate you!

[DavidBrunow]

Will open a PR if this persists in future betas.

[sthwicked]

@DavidBrunow This seems to persist in Xcode 11 beta 5

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

[michaelmcguire]

Still happening on Xcode 11.0b6. Same workaround above fixes the issue. I've reported the issue to the Swift team.
