Xcode 15: Unknown symbol kind swift.extension

[esteluk]

With some code that offers an extension to a public (Foundation?) class, such as this:

public etension Bundle {
  static var myBundle: Bundle? {
    // ...
    return nil
  }
}

The following gets generated as in my symbol graph build/symbolgraph/target/Target@Foundation.symbols.json:

{
    "kind": {
        "identifier": "swift.extension",
        "displayName": "Extension"
    },
    "identifier": {
        "precise": "s:e:s:So8NSBundleC29TargetE04selfD0ABSgvpZ",
        "interfaceLanguage": "swift"
    },
    "pathComponents": [
        "Bundle"
    ],
    "names": {
        "title": "Bundle",
        "navigator": [
            {
                "kind": "identifier",
                "spelling": "Bundle"
            }
        ],
        "subHeading": [
            {
                "kind": "keyword",
                "spelling": "extension"
            },
            {
                "kind": "text",
                "spelling": " "
            },
            {
                "kind": "typeIdentifier",
                "spelling": "Bundle",
                "preciseIdentifier": "c:objc(cs)NSBundle"
            }
        ]
    },
    "swiftExtension": {
        "extendedModule": "Foundation",
        "typeKind": "swift.class"
    },
    "declarationFragments": [
        {
            "kind": "keyword",
            "spelling": "extension"
        },
        {
            "kind": "text",
            "spelling": " "
        },
        {
            "kind": "typeIdentifier",
            "spelling": "Bundle",
            "preciseIdentifier": "c:objc(cs)NSBundle"
        }
    ],
    "accessLevel": "public",
    "location": {
        "uri": "...",
        "position": {
            "line": 6,
            "character": 7
        }
    }
}

Then when I run Jazzy with the config:

swift_build_tool: symbolgraph
symbolgraph_directory: build/symbol-graph/target/

The following error occurs:

Using config file .jazzy.yaml

Tested with Jazzy 0.14.4. Before moving to Xcode 15, the same code was compiling as expected, so I guess the symbol kind may have changed between releases. Will try to check the symbol kind in Xcode 14 when I get a chance.

The Xcode 14 output is very different:

From searching I saw https://forums.swift.org/t/symbol-graph-adaptions-for-documenting-extensions-to-external-types-in-docc/56684/2 on which @johnfairh replied last year, which probably has all the context for this change.

Oh right - I had thought we could ignore this stuff because it's opt-in (-emit-extension-block-symbols), didn't think about users supplying opted-in symbolgraph files. Will take a look. Thanks for reporting it.

[esteluk]

It looks like the default behaviour of Swift 5.9 didn't change: I guess Xcode 15 might be opting in to emit-extension-block-symbols now

Fixed in master via #1372.
