Error converting the XCode project back to a Plist

[gcerquant]

I was trying to install RestKit into my iOS project. It failed with an error : "error converting the XCode project back to a Plist"

Here is my Vendorfile: $ cat Vendorfile # This is an example Vendorfile for you to start editing and add your # own dependencies. Check out http://github.com/keithpitt/vendor for # more information on how to use this file.

``` lib "RestKit", :git => "https://github.com/RestKit/RestKit.git"

Then I run: $ vendor install

Project was new (nothing edited in it after its creation). Created with Xcode 4.2.1 (Build 4D502).

Some more information:

The steps to reproduce the bug are:

• Create a new project in Xcode (my version : 4.2.1 - 4D502 ; on Lion 10.7.2)
• Choose the iPhone template 'Single View Application'
• Create a Vendor file: echo 'lib "ASIHTTPRequest", "~> 1.8"' > Vendorfile
• Run vendor install
• Output of the command: Installing ASIHTTPRequest 1.8.1 Installing Reachability 2.0.4ddg Backup created ./TestVendorKit.vendorbackup.1 There was an error converting the XCode project back to a Plist #<Vendor::Plist::AsciiParser::ParseError: missing ';' in dictionary at line 425 "FAMILY = 1,2;\n};\n};\n " > Finished installing into TestVendorKit

I updated to latest head (commit 7f9dea5830a9028b8291ad0d352afe5f83b0d4d9). I have cloned it in ~/Desktop/vendor. Then, being in the folder of my Xcode project, running ~/Desktop/vendor/bin/vendor install still gives an error. But not the same one:

Backup created ./Test.vendorbackup
There was an error converting the XCode project back to a Plist
#<Vendor::Plist::AsciiParser::ParseError: missing ';' in dictionary at line 1011
"  path = 1.json;\n  so"

> Finished installing into Test```

I appreciate the time you put into this issue. Thank you :)

Ahh, balls. My plist converter is pretty flaky by the looks of it. I'll fix that issue now.

[keithpitt]

Hrm, could you post the project your using? I'm having a hard time replicate this one...

I clone VendorKitTest from https://github.com/rauluranga/VendorKitTest. It dosen't have this problem but I create new project it has this error.

I use Xcode 4.2.1

[keithpitt]

I've done some fixes on this. Try master and let me know how you go.

I have pushed a new version of Vendor to rubygems. Update vendor and try again for me. Sorry about the hassle :D

[phuwanart]

Thank you very much. I update new gem version, it solve this problem.

Thank for you work. ^^
