Fails to locate compile command

[ilyapuchka]

Always get this error even on clean build:

Could not locate compile command for /Users/iilyapuchka/Documents/.../....swift

If you have switched xcode versions, please cmd-shift-k to clean then rebuild the project so there is a complete build history logged and try again.


[johnno1962]

Do you have spaces in the path to your project?

[ilyapuchka]

No, the path does not have spaces.

[johnno1962]

Want me to take a look.. if so, send TeamViewer co-ords to injectionapp at johnholdsworth.com

[johnno1962]

Do you have a custom Derived data path perhaps?

[ilyapuchka]

No custom Derived data paths too, no spaces there as well. I can provide you with a console log:

Nothing seems to be amiss. I’d need to take a look. What is your path to Xcode?

[akaralar]

BTW You can take a look from TeamViewer if you'd like to.

[akaralar]

Tried with AppCode and got the same error.

[johnno1962]

Have you got a non-standard Derived Data path?

[akaralar]

No it's the default path

[johnno1962]

If you like you can send through your TeamViewer co-ordinates to injection at johnholdsworth.com

[akaralar]

Sent

[johnno1962]

Turns out the problem was using “whole module optimisation” which stops injection working.

[leandromperez]

Is there any other possible reason for this error?

I disabled whole module optimization, cleaned the project, removed derived data (default path).. still unable to inject

This is the error I'm getting:

Could not locate compile command for /Users/leandro/MyApp/MyApp/Code/Logic/Navigation/TabbedNavigator.swift
Injection doesn’t work when using whole module optimisation.

[johnno1962]

Have you tried the new version https://github.com/johnno1962/InjectionIII. It’s a rewrite of the core in Swift.

[leandromperez]

@johnno1962 I just downloaded it and tried it out.

On a clean install, clean simulator, clean derived data folder, the path contains no special characters.

I started injection: Injection connected, watching /Users/leandro/MyApp/...

Then saved a file and got this error:

"Could not locate compile command for /Users/leandro/MyApp/Code/Logic/Navigation/TabbedNavigator.swift Try a clean build. There are also restrictions on characters allowed in paths."

[johnno1962]

Do you have a custom path set for DerivedData? Is injection able to find any of the files in your project?

[leandromperez]

@johnno1962

No, default DerivedData folder.

I created a blank new VC and no luck either.

I am able to Run XProbe and see results. But unable to inject any code. Each time I save the file, I get a "Could not locate compile command" error.

I was able to make it work on a new test project, but not on my main project.

[johnno1962]

Do you want to TeamView on this? If so, send your details to injection at johnholdsworth dot com

[leandromperez]

I am afraid I will not be able to TeamView until I ask permissions tomorrow, nda stuff...

I am also seeing this in the system console

Sandbox: mds(69) deny file-write-xattr /Users/leandro/MyApp/Code/Logic/Navigation/TabbedNavigator.swift [Duplicate; no report will be generated.]

This is what I get if I sudo InjectionIII from terminal:

[johnno1962]

Thanks for the info. You seem to have two problems. It should be able to guess your derived data from the project and it should fall back provided you project file is in the project’s root directory. Do you have more than one project open?

[leandromperez]

@johnno1962 I tried adding a new vc to the project's root directory. I also made sure that the project was the only opened, no luck, same errors.

[Athosone]

Hi guys, I got the same issue did you find any fix for this ?

[stuartro]

I have the exact same problem. Does Injection III work for multi-module projects (that is, I have a workspace open with 3 Xcode projects—one with various "framework" classes, the second with model classes, and the third containing the main app... AppDelegate, UI, etc.

Running on High Sierra 10.13.5. The sample GettingStarted app works correctly.

[johnno1962]

Provided there is only one workspace you should be ok provide you are using the App Store version. If it’s not finding your logs at all check you don’t have a non-default setting for the DerrivedData location.

[stuartro]

DerivedData is set to default. Using Xcode 9.4.1, running iOS 11.4 simulator. I'm willing to try TeamView if it will help

[stuartro]

@johnno1962 If you want to reach me directly, I'm at: stuartro AT gmail.com

[johnno1962]

Send your TeamView co-ords to injection at johnholdsworth.com and I can take a look.

[stuartro]

Should be in your inbox

[johnno1962]

Was the old “doesn’t work with whole module optimisation” chestnut. I must put a message in.

[stuartro]

@johnno1962 Thanks for your help!

[narendrabade]

I am seeing error,

Could not locate containing project or it's logs. Have you customised the DerivedData path?

I am using default derived path.

Let me know if I am eligible for Teamviewer ?

[johnno1962]

This is probably to do with unusual characters in you project name. If you want to TeamView send your details to injection at johnholdsworth.com.

[johnno1962]

In the end it was a mac App and you need turn off the App Sandbox for injection to work. I’ll change the error message to remind people.

[agordeev]

@johnno1962 how to turn off the app sandbox? I installed the app from Mac AppStore but couldn't get that working. I constantly receive this error:

*** Could not locate compile command for ... (Injection does not work with Whole Module Optimization.

Whole Module Optimization is off.
