Cocoapods: Error validating private spec

[thecritic]

I have been using development pods for a good while now, but I actually want to have dependencies between my (private) pods, and as far as I know, creating private pods is the only solution for that (as you cannot specify a local pod in the .podspec file as a dependency...).

So I followed this guide https://guides.cocoapods.org/making/private-cocoapods.html, created the specs repo and added one of my development pods. Worked like a charm. Now, here is the thing: When I try to add another dev repo, upon linting

pod repo push my-specs [MY_PRIVATE_REPO].podspec  --verbose --sources='[email protected]:[Bitbucket_Username]/specs.git,https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs' --allow-warnings

it gives me the following errors:

Summary:

- NOTE  | [iOS] xcodebuild:  : error: Not enough arguments provided; where is the input document to operate on?

Excerpt of --verbose validation output:

We'll need an example pod that reproduced the issue

[thecritic]

@segiddins Well unfortunately the thing is, I cannot disclose much of the code from that pod.

[segiddins]

That's fine, if you can boil it down to a new pod that also demonstrates it. If not, there's really nothing that we can do.

[thecritic]

@segiddins I created a fresh pod and added a storyboard file, nothing more... still getting the same error. here is the pod: https://bitbucket.org/melkhaiat/testpod

[segiddins]

Thanks!

[segiddins]

Ah so the issue here is that the storyboard needs to be a resource, not a source file.

[thecritic]

@segiddins First of all I want to thank you for your support! So I basically add storyboards/nib files into the Assets folder for example and specify a glob in the specfile like this: spec.resources = ["Pod/Assets/*.storyboard"] ? How come my other development pod does not complain ?

[segiddins]

No clue

[thecritic]

Okay this seems to work, thanks!
