Frequent "An internal error occurred..." in Xcode with development snapshot

xAlien95 · January 21, 2021, 3:30am

Is it "normal" for a development snapshot to frequently show the

An internal error occurred. Source editor functionality is limited. Attempting to restore...

warning in Xcode? I'm using the trunk development (main) snapshot 2021-01-19 and the banner shows when working with ill-defined property wrappers (e.g. property wrappers lacking initializers).

An example

@propertyWrapper enum A<T> {
  case some(T)
  case none
  
  var wrappedValue: T? {
    if case .some(let value) = self { return value }
    return nil
  }

  // missing init here
}

struct S {
  @A var x = 7
}

That banner usually indicates a SourceKit failure/crash. One good thing to check is what happens when you try to build the project in that state. Often, a SourceKit failure is a manifestation of a compiler crash during type checking. Does the compiler give a proper error message when you build the invalid code?

Thank you for replying! For the specific example in the first post, I'm getting an Abort trap: 6 and a "Bad base type" failed assertion at lib/AST/Type.cpp#L4063:

Contents of the error

Assertion failed: (0 && "Bad base type"), function getContextSubstitutions, file /Users/buildnode/jenkins/workspace/oss-swift-package-macos/swift/lib/AST/Type.cpp, line 4063.
Please submit a bug report (https://swift.org/contributing/#reporting-bugs) and include the project and the crash backtrace.

So the answer to my question is "no, it's not normal for a development snapshot to have the type checker to abort the build process and you should file a bug"?

hborla · January 21, 2021, 5:09pm

Yes, that's right. It's not normal, and in this case you've found another property wrapper bug for us to fix - please continue to file bugs when you hit these issues. Thank you!

xAlien95 · January 21, 2021, 5:39pm

Will do! I wish I had the skills to also fix what I file, but at the moment I can't even build the compiler due to SR-13635 (if I use --skip-test-cmark as suggested in the last comment, the process ends up with various failed tests). I can build it with no issue using Ninja, but then I would need an appropriate IDE and Visual Studio Code complains about missing headers.
Do you have suggestions in that regard? Should I ignore the failed build and still use the generated Xcode project?

hborla · January 21, 2021, 5:44pm

If you're interested in fixing some of these property wrapper bugs, I can certainly help you with that in my experience, knowing how property wrappers are supposed to work is much more valuable than knowing any specifics about the implementation when you first start working in this area.

If you ran build script with --xcode or -x and it failed, but it got far enough to generate the Swift.xcodeproj, you can usually still use the Xcode project
