Failing to run pod install: "mapping values are not allowed in this context" #1853

codinglabs · 2014-03-03T16:18:11Z

I just updated cocoapods to 0.29 (also tested with 0.28) from a super old version (can't remember which one) and now I run into the following error message when I execute 'pod install'.

Hmm, that’s weird. It works for me on 0.29:

Does your CocoaPods-version.yml file look the same?

akurkin · 2014-03-04T08:10:39Z

0.29 doesn't work for me - same reason as in this issue.

alloy · 2014-03-04T09:17:39Z

@thaold What does your ~/.cocoapods/repos/master/CocoaPods-version.yml file look like?

cepages · 2014-03-04T10:07:31Z

I had the same problem with a private cocoaPod, I updated to 0.29 and I continued with the same problem.

Maybe it's very destructive but for me it was solved with:

$ sudo rm -fr ~/.cocoapods/repos/master
$ pod setup

I hope this helps

codinglabs · 2014-03-04T11:04:38Z

Ok the problem for me was that (presumably) the update tried to merge CocoaPods-version.yml so in the end it looked like this.

@carlosIncuna's solution resolved the issue for me. Thanks!

alloy · 2014-03-04T11:24:39Z

Aha! That’s unfortunate, but not something that we can fix. I’ll send out a tweet from the main account about this, though. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks :
it was solved with:

$ sudo rm -fr ~/.cocoapods/repos/master
$ pod setup

soule · 2014-03-16T11:44:11Z

Thanks,

linglong's response worked for me.

kayzee · 2014-04-01T04:41:15Z

Took a while to find this issue, but thanks @carlosIncuna, your suggestion worked wonders.

@alloy maybe this should be documented better somewhere. Maybe: http://guides.cocoapods.org/using/troubleshooting.html

zachwill · 2014-04-05T16:21:42Z

Just ran into this, as well. Thanks for the tip, @carlosIncuna!

zackcalex · 2014-04-08T17:54:51Z

Thanks @carlosIncuna , that worked for me!

Algashev · 2014-04-08T20:20:00Z

Many Thanks @carlosIncuna , that worked for me too!

cepages · 2014-04-09T08:17:14Z

@alloy I agree with @kayzee, it seems this happens a lot of people, maybe it's interesting to document this somewhere. yw all! ;)

alloy · 2014-04-09T09:53:47Z

@carlosIncuna @kayzee This has been merged and will be available in the next release: CocoaPods/Core#100.

cepages · 2014-04-09T10:20:31Z

@alloy That's great!, thanks
