Here's the basis for the fix: https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/9260#issuecomment-542586026
Wouldn't it make more sense to just wipe the entire ~/.cocoapods
folder?
I just wasted a fair bit of time yesterday with cocoapods cache corruption in ~/Library/Cache/CocoaPods (delete possible via pod cache clean --all
) as well. Lost hours really, quite painful.
I think purging ~/.cocoapods and pod cache clean --all
would be good additions, and I'd do a PR if you'd accept it @pmadruga ?
Deleting these will result in a great deal of network traffic to rebuild state so I would have them default to off in the "auto" scheme and only available via toggles or interactive response, personally, but open to suggestion on that.
A PR is more than welcome, thanks.
I believe the "auto" mode should induce the cleanest state, and the toggles to make it less clean. But I'm flexible on that one 👍🏼
I will defer to your taste in your module (and I am sympathetic to that anyway - clean should be clean :-) ). Okay I'll post up a PR for a truly clean cocoapods situation. If there is a convenient place to mention to the user that it implies a large network transfer cost in the future to rebuild the cache (like, in docs or if there is already CLI messaging) I'll do that so it's not a shock, or at least not an unknown one :)
Sounds like a great idea @mikehardy . Happy to review that PR.
I am still planning on doing this, just collecting ideas here from user reports of what worked for them as they fixed pod errors,
here's another possibly-needed command: pod repo remove trunk
, c.f. https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/issues/4710#issuecomment-752683760
Just noting that @gilbertl confirmed pod cache clean --all
is a valid command to clean the directory that bit me, thanks Gilbert
Out of the 3 ideas, I researched and learned that if we purge ~/.cocoapods
it means pod repo remove trunk
is unnecessary, as that would just be affecting state within ~/.cocoapods
- it is a subset.
So I posted a PR that just did rm -rf ~/.cocoapods
and pod cache clean --all
Thanks @mikehardy - PR approved with one comment.
We just ran into an issue on react-native-firebase that was resolved by deleting the local cocoapods cache in the user's directory like so:
rm -fr ~/.cocoapods/repos/trunk
https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/issues/3305#issuecomment-600459982
Might be nice to have an option to '--wipe-pods-user-cache' or similar?
