My Swift project build legitimately fails in CI. I know how to fix the error I meet. But I cannot reproduce the error locally and it bugs me.

Here is the error:

error: 'Transport' is only available in macOS 12.0 or newer

Transport is indeed a protocol marked with the following attribute: @available(macOS 12.0, *).

So the build failure sounds legitimate since I declared in my Package.swift that my project should work on macOS 10.15, and looks like so:

let package = Package(
  name: "my-package",
  platforms: [
    .macOS(.v10_15),
    .iOS(.v15)
  ],
  … // further down I declare the dependency that includes `Transport`

So I know how to fix the issue (update my Package.swift to support macOS platform from macOS 12; or check for macOS 12 availability before using Transport in my code) but I cannot reproduce the error on my laptop, and I am not sure why. Is there an option I am missing or a cache I fail to clean up?

I tried:

rm -rf .build/
rm -rf .swiftpm/
swift build // with and without --disable-dependency-cache

But it builds without an error. :man_shrugging:
It is not usual to ask a forum for help to make your project fail, but here it is. :wink:

My setup:

  • Swift 5.9.2
  • Xcode 15.1
  • macOS 14.1.2

The CI runs as a GitHub action in a monorepo on this image:

  my-package:
    runs-on: macos-latest

    defaults:
      run:
        working-directory: subdir/package-root

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Build
        run: swift build
      - name: Run tests
        run: swift test

Thanks.
