This is an issue within an issue. The tool is trying to find similar issue and it fails.

I am moving this to the corresponding GH repo.

Actually I can't can you please file the issue here https://github.com/orta/gh_inspector/issues

dnkoutso on 17 Jan 2019

Actually this looks just like https://github.com/orta/gh_inspector/issues/12

amorde on 17 Jan 2019

Yes!

dnkoutso on 17 Jan 2019

@dnkoutso it looks like Cocoapods is passing in a string that's too long which is making it fail.

Is there anything that can be done to prevent that?
Why is this causing pod install and pod update to fail?

chshapiro on 17 Jan 2019

@chshapiro My gut feeling is that you are getting a different crash and while gh_inspector tries to find similar errors for you it fails and crashes _again_.

Can you modify your own gh_inspector gem to skip this check and then post here to see what the real underlying crash is?

dnkoutso on 17 Jan 2019

@chshapiro I will re-open this issue once this is done!

dnkoutso on 17 Jan 2019

@chshapiro for context, what you are seeing is a crash on the code that _handles crashes_ - when CocoaPods crashes, the exception is caught and gh_inspector searches for issues on Github that look similar to the error, in order to help the user find other issues that may be relevant.

This doesn't mean that it's causing pod install or pod update to fail, because by that point it had already failed.

is there no resolution here? I'm having same issue

issue is tracked here https://github.com/orta/gh_inspector/issues/12 no resolution yet. PRs welcome!

amorde on 30 Jan 2019

Thank you. My previous comment fixed the issue

If updating Xcodeproj fixed the issue, it was most likely this https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/7835
