Cross toolchain selection breaks native get configuration #1613

Open kevlar700 opened 7 months ago

kevlar700 commented 7 months ago

This is a fairly minor issue but may leave users scratching their heads and asking for help. Perhaps I am doing something wrong but one thing that I was hoping might be fixed by rc1 is that when I have been working with an arm toolchain and e.g. do.

alr get svd2ada

I get

svd2ada=0.1.0 successfully retrieved.
Dependencies were solved as follows:                               

   +📦 gnat   13.2.1 (new,gnat_arm_elf,indirect,binary)
   +   xmlada 22.0.0 (new)
cd svd2ada*
alr toolchain --select
Welcome to the toolchain selection assistant    

In this assistant you can set up the default toolchain to be used with any crate
that does not specify its own top-level dependency on a version of gnat or
gprbuild.

If you choose "None", Alire will use whatever version is found in the
environment.

Then I

cd ..
rm -rf svd2ada_0.1.0_6eb0b591
alr get svd2ada

And all is well

Mmm. So the problem is that the crate was solved with the previously selected compiler, and after picking the new one no attempt is made to re-resolve. I'm guessing that an alr update would also fix the issue.

I can only think of storing the timestamp when the compiler was changed and if the workspace solution is older, automatically prompt to update. Seems fairly involved for a likely infrequent situation, but worth keeping in mind.

So I see this more as a fix for 2.1 rather than risking breaking something in the process.

PS: confirmed that alr update does fix the issue.
