Cannot use dub with invalid configuration

[webloft]

I have a dub.sdl looking like this:

name "abc"
license "proprietary"
targetType "none"
importPaths "code"

subPackage {
    name "xyz"
    targetType "dynamicLibrary"
    targetPath "../../build/$BUILD_TYPE"
    importPaths "code"
    sourcePaths "packages/lib-common"
    versions "common"
    dflags "-i"
    copyFiles "..." platform="windows"
}
...

That file is valid, no problems running it via dub but serve-d yells about an invalid configuration without further information:

serve-d v0.7.4 with workspace-d v3.7.0
Included features: "d", "workspaces"
Built: Sat Jan  8 02:43:14 2022
...
[error] source\served\extension.d:792:delayedProjectActivation Exception starting dub: object.Exception@C:\Users\runneradmin\AppData\Local\dub\packages\workspace-d-3.7.0\workspace-d\source\workspaced\com\dub.d(242): Cannot use dub with invalid configuration

The folder code is in the same directory as dub.sdl.

the targetType "none" means your package doesn't (shouldn't) have code, so it isn't loaded.

The subpackage should be loaded though when you open a file in it, and auto completion should work.

[webloft]

No, it doesn't. It only works if I change the targetType to something other. However, "none" is a valid value and should be respected.

[WebFreak001]

the exception is actually to prevent a harder crash that occurs when you try to use a package like this.

The root package definitely shouldn't be loaded for code editing, but the subpackage should be loaded and needs to be checked why it isn't loaded right now.

And If I load a common file that is used in package A and B but not within the sub-directory structure of any package, how it is supposed to load a package then? Is loading the package required to make auto-completion working? The specs says "none" is not generate an output file, nothing about there should be no code.

[WebFreak001]

you can't have common files in a none subpackage, use sourceLibrary instead

[webloft]

I tried that. The error disappears at startup but auto-completion works not with import. At least not for the last hour. And dcd-server stays open at exit of serve-d. I don't know if it's supposed to be re-used but it also spawns new instances.

It still logs: [error] serverbase\source\served\serverbase.d:338:__lambda2 Failed processing notification: object.Exception@C:\Users\runneradmin\AppData\Local\dub\packages\workspace-d-3.7.0\workspace-d\source\workspaced\com\dub.d(253): Cannot build with dub with targetType == sourceLibrary

name "test"
targetType "none"

subPackage {
    name "mycode"
    sourcePaths "source"
    importPaths "source"
    targetType "executable"
}
dependency ":mycode" version="*"

dub builds fine, makes serve-d error though

(unspectacular, not sure what I was expecting)
