Xcodegen: Can't Add Local Swift Package as Dependency

[jsorge]

Using Xcodegen v2.10.1 and adding a local Swift package to my project, and I want it to be a dependency for one of my targets. The following is not working for me:

name: MyApp
localPackages:
  - Modules/Utilities
packages:
  Pathos:
    from: 0.2.0
    url: https://github.com/dduan/Pathos.git
targets:
  MyApp:
    type: application
    platform: iOS
    sources:
      - MyApp/Sources
      - MyApp/Resources
    dependencies:
      - package: Utilities
    configFiles:
      Debug: xcconfigs/BindleWriter-Debug.xcconfig
      Release: xcconfigs/BindleWriter-Release.xcconfig

And the error I get is Spec validation error: Target "MyApp" has an invalid package dependency "Utilities". If I alter the dependency on Utilities to be on Pathos instead (which is a remote package) then the project generates just fine.

Am I holding it wrong?

Hi @jsorge, currently local packages are only supported when they mirror remote packages. There is mention of that buried here https://github.com/yonaskolb/XcodeGen/blob/master/Docs/Usage.md

Additional work is required to support completely local packages

Ah that makes sense. I hadn't seen that note before. Thanks for letting me know.

Hi @yonaskolb, what kind of additional work is required to make this feature work?
Actually I tried to remove any package validation form SpecValidation.swift (that was on line 168) and removed guard statement in PBXProjGenerator.swift on line 630.

And it works for me. Except I don't have any remote package validation for now.
What should I do additionally to make a pull request for this feature?

Hi everybody

I'm kinda interested too. Are there any news about this?
