Can't fetch package using the Official package manager

zig-sqlite commit

master

Zig version

0.11.0

Steps to reproduce

I'm getting the following error whenever trying to use the build.zig.zon dependency:

error: Expected response status '200 OK' got '404 Not Found'
     .url = "https://github.com/vrischmann/zig-sqlite/archive/COMMIT.tar.gz",

This is what my dependencies look like:

    .dependencies = .{
    .sqlite = .{
        .url = "https://github.com/vrischmann/zig-sqlite/archive/COMMIT.tar.gz",
    },
    },

My build.zig looks like this:

const sqlite = b.dependency("sqlite", .{
    .target = target,
    .optimize = mode,
});

exe.addModule("sqlite", sqlite.module("sqlite"));

// Sqlite
exe.linkLibC();
exe.linkSystemLibrary("sqlite3");
exe.addPackage(.{ .name = "sqlite", .path = "third_party/zig-sqlite/sqlite.zig" });

Expected behaviour

It to fetch correctly.

It's not documented properly but you need to replace the COMMIT part with an actual commit from zig-sqlite, like f101ae075124f77a44444d368c869a5b3d3d4a6f: https://github.com/vrischmann/zig-sqlite/archive/f101ae075124f77a44444d368c869a5b3d3d4a6f.tar.gz

When you want to update the version of zig-sqlite you'll have to change the commit in the URL.

I see, makes sense, I think you also need to add the .hash as well.

There's something else that I'm not sure if I should make a new issue for:

exe.addPackage(.{ .name = "sqlite", .path = "third_party/zig-sqlite/sqlite.zig" });

This syntax is deprecated now and doesn't compile.

Right, this is also something that's missing from the readme. The official documentation describes the easiest way to get the hash: https://ziglang.org/download/0.11.0/release-notes.html#Package-Management

This syntax is deprecated now and doesn't compile.

True, I'll fix that. Thanks for reporting it.

I updated the readme, I'll close this issue now.
