Swift package "error: root manifest not found"

Using Swift
1

Hi,
I am using Xcode 10. Beta 6. I am trying to create a Xcode project using swift package generate-xcodeproj.
I have run sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer to set the beta version of Xcode.

When I try to run any of the swift package commands I always get the "error: root manifest not found" for example running "swift package tools-version". When I try to set the tools "swift package tools-version --set" I will get the same error.

I think something else in the process has a problem not the actual swift package manager. Any idea how to fix it?

Thanks,

Eddy

Please move this to “Using Swift” section.

It would help the diagnosis to know what your package manifest (Package.swift) looks like.

Sorry my bad! This is my first try.

I needed to run "swift package init --type library" first than "swift package generate-xcodeproj"

Thanks,

Eddy
