Vapor: Vapor xcode fail

vapor xcode
Generating Xcode Project [Failed]
swift-package: error: rootManifestFileNotFound

Error: Could not generate Xcode project: swift-package: error: rootManifestFileNotFound

Are you trying to run the command in the correct directory?
You need to be in the same folder as Package.swift.

oh! thx!

@vzsg It would be great if the Vapor docs could be updated with this information, since this is not mentioned anywhere in them and I faced the same issue thinking I could just generate an empty Xcode project using vapor xcode without having to do anything else.

[vzsg]

That's a good idea IMHO.

For those looking for "Package.swift" just create a new project first from the command like

vapor new test001 --template=web

then cd to test001 and run

vapor xcode

This still did not work for me. I'm simply trying to setup a basic project and connect everything to vapor.cloud
"vapor build" runs successfully, simply not "vapor cloud deploy"

@pjcook vapor cloud deploy issues will be different - what are you seeing?

[pjcook]

Running "vapor cloud deploy" in terminal it gets the project from Git then outputs:

Checkout branch 'dev' [Done]
Verifying base folder [Done]
Selected swift version: 3.1.0 [Done]
Selected swift version: 3.1.0 [Done]
Building vapor [Failed]
swift-build: error: rootManifestFileNotFound

Error: deploy failed.

Does the Git project have a Package.swift in? Is it definitely checked in etc?

[pjcook]

THANK YOU!! so much. I had accidentally pushed the files into Master and not the Dev branch. And vapor cloud deploy was looking at the empty Dev branch.

$ vapor cloud deploy

swift-package: error: Package requires minimum Swift tools version 5.2.0. Current Swift tools version is 3.1.0

@mesas978 Vapor Cloud shutdown in February. But that issues looks like because you're trying to build something with Swift 5.2 but your Package.swift doesn't specify a tools version so it's picking 3
