'pod install' regenerates changes in Pods/Pods.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj every time

[littlebobert]

If I run pod install it generates changes to the entire pbxproj every time.

In the following terminal session, I run pod install, commit the changes in the .pbxproj, run pod install and then have new changes in the .pbxproj.

I thought this was a dupe of #2116 but that’s supposedly a dupe of #1118 which is supposed to be fixed in 0.38.0beta2, but I’m running 0.38.2.

Can you please share the project? Otherwise this will be impossible to debug.

[littlebobert]

It reproduces with an empty project and our Podfile: https://www.dropbox.com/s/egy6jkyrylsdb35/CocoapodsTest.zip?dl=0

[yonaskolb]

I'm also experiencing this

[segiddins]

Thanks, I'll try and get around to investigating this this week.

[segiddins]

Just confirmed this is reproducible with that project.

[segiddins]

I have no idea why this is happening...

[nvasavikumar]

I'm also experiencing the same issue with version 0.38.2

[Kurry]

+1

I had this issue: #1608, which led me down the rabbit hole to #1118, then #4051 haha

[maxmeyers]

This is fixed for me in 0.39.0.beta.5

[segiddins]

@maxmeyers seriously?!?!? Wow, well I can promise it wasn't on purpose!

[maxmeyers]

@segiddins Sorry, I may have spoken too soon, I tried it with the sample project above and it's still happening.

[rnpatel]

@segiddins any updates on this issue? We display the git commit inside our app and it's now showing as "-dirty" when built from our CI server.

[segiddins]

@rnpatel as evidenced by the lack of recent comments on this issue, there are no updates, but we'd welcome a PR fixing it :)

This appears to be fixed in 39.0

Closing, since this was reported fixed.
