shards build repeatedly fetches already satisfied dependencies

[damianham]

When issuing a shards build target_name command the dependencies are fetched EVERY time even though -- the dependencies are already installed in the lib folder and all dependencies are satisfied -- the dependencies were satisfied only moments ago in the previous build command in the develop - build - debug cycle

Not a problem for people on super fast network in London/San Francisco but for digital nomads in far flung places it is a pain in the neck.

What version of shards are you using?

[damianham]

0.10.0 locally and 0.8.1 in production and in local development docker instances

[waj]

@damianham can you share your shard.yml and shard.lock?

0.10 wasn't properly checking installed versions when locking without a release tag. This is hopefully fixed already for the next version.

Thanks @damianham!

In this case garnet_spec 0.2.3 has version 0.2.1 in shard.yml. Shards 0.10.0 checks the installed version from the shard.yml and thinks it's never properly installed. Next version will print a warning but continue running normally and it will check the dependency correctly.

So, this is already fixed!

[waj]

Actually, I'll reopen this and add a specific integration test to the suite to avoid regressions in the future.

[damianham]

@waj many thanks for your efforts, very much appreciated.
