Cocoapod? about swiftcheck

[CodaFi]

Would you be willing to contribute one? I don't use pods myself and have done it very wrong in the past.

[buildreactive]

I might be able to do that... Let me look into it. We have a need of integrating a good check library into our project, and a strong preference for Cocoapods where possible...

[CodaFi]

I'd appreciate anything you could do.

Started looking into this – but I'm having trouble with a few things. Would be nice to have the docs improved to include information on how to build and install into other projects, etc.

Right now – seem to be a bit stuck on how to generate a framework for inclusion in an iOS Project.

Also running into some build problems during podding... will come back to those. If you can give a little advice on your build setup / install instructions that could prove helpful.

[CodaFi]

You're right in that the README should definitely have installation instructions. As for the failing pod builds, can you be more specific?

[buildreactive]

Yep... here's the error I'm trying to figure out. The build works fine in Xcode, but during podding I get this...

/Users/zbeckman/Projects/SwiftCheck/SwiftCheck/TestOperators.swift:120:13: error: cannot load underlying module for 'XCTest'
import func XCTest.XCTFail
^

[CodaFi]

Ah! Take a look at how other frameworks that need to link XCTest get around that. We use header search paths to trick Xcode; I'm not sure how to do that with Pods tho.

Here's Quick

[buildreactive]

Aha! Thanks that helps...

Alright, this is a bit frustrating – not sure if you are more familiar with the command line compiler than I am. I don't use it...

Running into a problem where overloaded operators (such as <^>) are throwing errors during compile:

/Users/zbeckman/Projects/SwiftCheck/SwiftCheck/Gen.swift:205:13: error: operator implementation without matching operator declaration
public func <^> <A, B>(f : A -> B, g : Gen) -> Gen {
/Users/zbeckman/Projects/SwiftCheck/SwiftCheck/Rose.swift:30:12: error: operator is not a known binary operator
return f <^> self

Now, obviously these are declared in Operators.swift. My first thought was to try and import the SwiftCheck package – but that doesn't work ("can't import package being compiled"). If you have any ideas please do holler... will research more, but I have to get back to a few other things for this afternoon...

[CodaFi]

They come from another TypeLift package called Operadics.

[CodaFi]

You're gonna want to enable submodules and let the pod see External/Operadics

[CodaFi]

With the merging of #83 SwiftCheck is now registered with Cocoapods and includes a podspec on the 1.2 side.

I believe that is the end of this issue, then. Closing.

[buildreactive]

Awesome! Looking forward to seeing it pop into the swift 2 branch.

[buildreactive]

Hm... Just tried (on my own fork) adding the podspec to swift-develop – The pod downloads and integrates just fine, but during compile I get a lot of compiler errors re: "not a legal operator." Looks like Operadics is not getting pulled into the project. So, it would seem that if you are using a purely Cocoapod setup a piece is still missing...?

[CodaFi]

Operadics was added post-1.2 as we split Swiftz into a bunch of other frameworks. You must let the podspec see the Operadics checkout.
