Could not update Xcode project file.

[joeldrotleff]

I tried a few times to add or remove files in nvim-tree, and I get an error Could not update Xcode project file.

In the error log I see:

/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.6/usr/lib/ruby/2.6.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require': cannot load such file -- xcodeproj (LoadError)
    from /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.6/usr/lib/ruby/2.6.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require'
    from /Users/joel/.local/share/nvim/lazy/xcodebuild.nvim/tools/project_helper.rb:3:in `<main>'

I used Lazy to install:

  {
    "wojciech-kulik/xcodebuild.nvim",
    lazy = false,
    dependencies = {
      "nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim",
      "MunifTanjim/nui.nvim",
      "nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua", -- if you want the integration with file tree
    },
    config = function()
      require("xcodebuild").setup {
        -- put some options here or leave it empty to use default settings
      }
    end,
  },

And my Neovim setup is using NVChad (which installed nvim-tree itself), like this:

  {
    "nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua",
    cmd = { "NvimTreeToggle", "NvimTreeFocus" },
    init = function()
      require("core.utils").load_mappings "nvimtree"
    end,
    opts = function()
      return require "plugins.configs.nvimtree"
    end,
    config = function(_, opts)
      dofile(vim.g.base46_cache .. "nvimtree")
      require("nvim-tree").setup(opts)
    end,
  },

Here's the config NVChad uses for nvim-tree:

local options = {
  filters = {
    dotfiles = false,
    exclude = { vim.fn.stdpath "config" .. "/lua/custom" },
  },
  disable_netrw = true,
  hijack_netrw = true,
  hijack_cursor = true,
  hijack_unnamed_buffer_when_opening = false,
  sync_root_with_cwd = true,
  update_focused_file = {
    enable = true,
    update_root = false,
  },
  view = {
    adaptive_size = false,
    side = "left",
    width = 30,
    preserve_window_proportions = true,
  },
  git = {
    enable = false,
    ignore = true,
  },
  filesystem_watchers = {
    enable = true,
  },
  actions = {
    open_file = {
      resize_window = true,
    },
  },
  renderer = {
    root_folder_label = false,
    highlight_git = false,
    highlight_opened_files = "none",

    indent_markers = {
      enable = false,
    },

    icons = {
      show = {
        file = true,
        folder = true,
        folder_arrow = true,
        git = false,
      },

      glyphs = {
        default = "󰈚",
        symlink = "",
        folder = {
          default = "",
          empty = "",
          empty_open = "",
          open = "",
          symlink = "",
          symlink_open = "",
          arrow_open = "",
          arrow_closed = "",
        },
        git = {
          unstaged = "✗",
          staged = "✓",
          unmerged = "",
          renamed = "➜",
          untracked = "★",
          deleted = "",
          ignored = "◌",
        },
      },
    },
  },
}

return options

It indicates that you are missing CocoaPods/Xcodeproj. Please install all required dependencies:

brew install xcode-build-server
brew install xcbeautify
gem install xcodeproj
python3 -m pip install -U pymobiledevice3

and also please check the results of :checkhealth xcodebuild (zR to unfold)

Additionally, I noticed that you are using old Ruby (2.6.0) so it's also worth updating it.

Ah, never mind - I just needed to install xcodegen tool with sudo gem install xcodeproj. Now it works great!

[wojciech-kulik]

🎊 make sure to update Ruby, the minimum required version is (I believe) 2.7.0.

brew install ruby
