Can't run TestFoundation target in swift-corelibs-foundation repository

Shohin · 2021-07-11T16:09:35.648Z

I am starting contributing Swift Foundation framework. I am using swift-corelibs-foundation repository by following this guide: swift-corelibs-foundation/GettingStarted.md at main · apple/swift-corelibs-foundation · GitHub

But it is failed when I try to run TestFoundation:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX11.3.sdk/usr/include/fts.h:71:9: '(anonymous)' has different definitions in different modules; definition in module 'CoreFoundation' is here

swift-corelibs-foundation/CoreFoundation/Base.subproj/module.map:1:8: Redefinition of module 'CoreFoundation'

swift-corelibs-foundation/CoreFoundation/String.subproj/CFString.h:835:127: Reference to 'kCFStringEncodingASCII' is ambiguous

Could not build Objective-C module 'CoreGraphics'

After these steps it is succeed:

Clean
Build
Run Cmd-R

I have found another solution from here also:

# Known Issues

* We're not yet finished implementing all of the core functionality of Foundation.

* NSDictionary, NSArray, NSSet and NSString are not yet implicitly convertible to Dictionary, Array, Set, and String. In order to translate between these types, we have temporarily added a protocol to these types that allows them to be converted. There is one method called `bridge()`.

```swift
let myArray: NSArray = ["foo", "bar", "baz"].bridge()
```

This also means that functions like map or reduce are currently unavailable on NSDictionary and NSArray.

These limitations should hopefully be very short-term.

A fix in the compiler is needed to split out the concept of "bridgeable to Objective-C" from "bridgeable to AnyObject". In the meantime, we have added the implementation of the `_ObjectiveCBridgeable` protocol to Foundation on Linux (normally it is part of the standard library).

In short: users or implementers should be careful about the implicit conversions that may be inserted automatically by the compiler. Be sure to compile and test changes on both Darwin and Linux.

* The `AutoreleasingUnsafeMutablePointer` type is not available on Linux because it requires autorelease logic provided by the Objective-C runtime. Most often this is not needed, but does create a divergence in some APIs like `NSFormatter` or the funnel methods of NSDictionary, NSArray and others. In these areas, we have proposed new API (marked with `Experiment:`) to work around use of the type. This proposed API is subject to change as the project progresses and should not yet be considered stable.

swiftc does not order include paths. This means that build artifact module.modulemap and the installed module.modulemap will conflict with each other. To work around the issue while developing Foundation, remove /usr/local/include/CoreFoundation/module.modulemap before building.

Hi @shohin,
I am also trying to contribute, but finding it really hard just to run the tests on macOS using Xcode 13.1.

I am getting the same error as you, but cleaning, building and running didn't work out for me.

Nor does the workaround since the conflicting modulemap is not under /usr/local/include/CoreFoundation, but under /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Modules - and renaming or moving this file causes a whole lot of other issues.

Might you have any other pointers for running the tests?

+1 for the same issue

I am also running into this, using swift-DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2022-03-22-a with Xcode 13.2.1. Is there a fix for this?

I'm seeing the same problem, where the test target will not build.

Running the 3-30-22 snapshot in Xcode 13.3 on an M1.

Glad to know it isn't just me. I have the same issue with conflicting modulemaps coming from the SDK and SCF repository.

Fidetro · 2022-07-30T08:10:53.864Z

I'm using Xcode 13.4.1 and it still seems to have this problem, how did you fix it later?

Although SwiftFoundation also requires just-built CoreFoundation, Xcode builds SwiftFoundation successfully.
I wonder why only building TestFoundation fails.
