Files in <package>pkg not installed

[h3rald]

I am using Nim v.0.19.0 and Nimble v0.9.0.

I am trying to get a simply package following the "hybrid" directory structure to install properly, but it doesn't seem to work. Or better, it does install but not all files are copied.

Here is what I get when I try to install it via nimble install:

$ nimble install nimhttpd
Downloading https://github.com/h3rald/nimhttpd using git
  Verifying dependencies for nimhttpd@1.0.5
 Installing nimhttpd@1.0.5
   Building nimhttpd/nimhttpd using c backend
   Success: nimhttpd installed successfully.
       Tip: 13 messages have been suppressed, use --verbose to show them.
     Error: nimble.nim(1106)         nimble

        ... Could not read package info file in /Users/h3rald/.nimble/pkgs/nimhttpd-1.0.5/nimhttpd.nimble;
        ...   Reading as ini file failed with:
        ...     Invalid section: .
        ...   Evaluating as NimScript file failed with:
        ...     /Users/h3rald/.nimble/pkgs/nimhttpd-1.0.5/nimhttpd.nimble(11, 21) Error: cannot open file: nimhttpdpkg/config.

Basically:

• The package is downloaded successfully.
• The binary file is built successfully.
• Apparently it is installed successfully: all the files in src are installed, but the directory nimhttpdpkg is not installed, hence the error.

Any idea of why this is happening?

Yes, please see the breaking change in the latest changelog https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble/blob/master/changelog.markdown#090---19092018

Ohhhh I see! Didn't check the changelog! I thought it was working before.

Alright, I specified installExt = @["nim"] and I am now able to install my package properly.

Thanks dom!
