Changing the podspec path for an installed Pod makes Cocoapods look for it in a local path

[ShayDavidson]

I had a Pod installed through a custom podspec like this:

pod 'MyPod', :podspec => 'https://gist.githubusercontent.com/podspec_1_defined_in_gist.podspec'

I had to change the path of the podspec to a different one:

pod 'MyPod', :podspec => 'https://gist.githubusercontent.com/podspec_2_defined_in_gist.podspec'

And once I ran pod install I got this message:

[!] No podspec found for `MyPod` in /Users/my_username/<path_to_my_project>/Pods/MyPod/MyPod.podspec.json

I managed to solve this by commenting out the MyPod pod from my Podfie, running pod install, uncomment the pod, and then run pod install again. Nevertheless, this looks like a bug.

@kylef did you investigate this?

I bet this would get caught now in 0.39 because of the podfile SHA checker too

@orta that's not in 0.39, and it won't help if a pod install doesn't fix things.
