I am so glad you posted this issue here. I would have never been able to figure out why this bug is happening for me... 😅
I have been trying to figure out this error for the past week.
Setting git config --global column.ui {auto,always}
seemed to fix it. Thanks!
Update:
My column.ui
was set to row dense
, which resulted in SPM always failing to resolve dependencies. But after changing it to {auto,always}
and successfully resolving package versions, I was able to change it back to row dense
(or what ever I wanted) and it worked fine, even after removing caches.
Description
SPM, has a few places where it assumes git tags (& possibly other output) are split by newline. From a user's perspective you get a misleading error message:
Here's an example of the spm code that I think is causing the issue. This could be avoided with either:
git -c column.ui=never tag
orgit tag --no-column
.Expected behavior
global git ui configuration shouldn't break SPM
Actual behavior
Obscure error message, that left me slightly perplexed.
Steps to reproduce
git config --global column.ui always
