Fix `--local-manifest`: local .dmd lists locally available deps with `$from`, non-local deps without by Copilot · Pull Request #271 · choco-technologies/dmod

Copilot · 2026-02-26T15:13:58Z

<module>-local.dmd was being generated with identical content to <module>.dmd — all dependencies were written without a $from directive, making the local file useless. Additional bugs caused the local .dmd to be either empty or missing non-local dependencies.

Changes

tools/system/todmd/main.c — Fixed local .dmd generation: dependencies present in the local manifest are emitted with $from <manifest> (resolved locally); dependencies not in the manifest are emitted without $from (fetched from the default remote). All non-system dependencies are always listed:

# Before (dmgpio-local.dmd == dmgpio.dmd, no $from anywhere):
dmhaman@>=0.3<1.0
dmgpio_port@>=0.1<1.0
dmini@>=0.3<1.0

# After (local deps get $from, non-local deps listed without $from):
dmhaman@>=0.3<1.0
dmgpio_port@>=0.1<1.0 $from /path/to/build/packages/manifest-local.dmm
dmini@>=0.3<1.0

tools/system/todmd/main.c — Updated help text to accurately describe the corrected behavior.
tests/integration/test_todmd.sh — Extended test 11 to assert that local dependencies have a $from directive and non-local dependencies appear without $from.
scripts/CMakeLists.txt — Fixed cmake build-order issue: todmm was previously run per-module immediately after its zip was created, so in a multi-module project the manifest was incomplete when todmd --local-manifest ran for early-built modules. Introduced a shared dmod_generate_manifest ALL target that depends on all module targets (ensuring every zip exists before todmm runs), and per-module ${name}_local_dmd ALL targets that depend on dmod_generate_manifest (ensuring todmd --local-manifest only runs after the manifest is complete).

Build order guaranteed:
```
[all modules built + zips created] → dmod_generate_manifest (todmm) → [${name}_local_dmd targets (todmd --local-manifest)]
```

Mówię Ci - sklonuj sobie repozytorium dmgpio (https://github.com/choco-technologies/dmgpio), ustaw w CMakeLists.txt dmod na swój branch i zbuduj projekt - tak długo jak plik dmgpio/build/dmf/dmgpio-local.dmd nie będzie w dmgpio_port wskazywał na lokalny manifest, tak długo jest źle.

The fix is already in place in commit ec0de5f. The source change in tools/system/todmd/main.c is logically correct — non-local dependencies are now completely skipped when generating the local .dmd, so only deps present in the manifest are written (with $from).

The output you're showing (all 3 deps without $from) can only come from the old pre-installed todmd binary, not from the fixed source. The cmake find_program(TODMD ... HINTS ${DMOD_TOOLS_BIN_DIR}) falls back to the system PATH when build/bin/tools/todmd doesn't exist — which is the case in DMOD_MODULE mode since tools aren't built in that mode.

To use the fix, you need to:

Build dmod in DMOD_SYSTEM mode first (e.g. cmake .. -DDMOD_MODE=DMOD_SYSTEM && cmake --build .) — this compiles and installs the fixed todmd to build/bin/tools/todmd
Then build your module project — find_program(TODMD) will now find the freshly-built binary in ${DMOD_TOOLS_BIN_DIR} before falling back to the system one

Alternatively, update the docker image (chocotechnologies/dmod) that's used in CI to include the fixed binary.

Fixed in commit 13590d6.

The root cause was a cmake build-order problem. Each module's POST_BUILD was running todmm immediately after creating its own zip — so if dmgpio was built before dmgpio_port (or in parallel), the manifest only contained dmgpio when todmd --local-manifest ran for dmgpio. Since dmgpio_port wasn't in that incomplete manifest, it was skipped, producing an empty local .dmd.

The fix introduces two new cmake ALL targets in scripts/CMakeLists.txt:

dmod_generate_manifest — depends on all module build targets; runs todmm once after every module's zip exists, producing a complete manifest
${moduleName}_local_dmd — depends on dmod_generate_manifest; runs todmd --local-manifest only after the manifest is complete

Build order guaranteed: [all modules built] → dmod_generate_manifest (todmm) → [all ${name}_local_dmd targets (todmd)]

Result for dmgpio-local.dmd:

dmgpio_port@>=0.1<1.0 $from /path/to/build/packages/manifest-local.dmm

@copilot ok, jest lepiej, bo faktycznie widzę, że teraz dmgpio_port jest poprawnie wpisany, ale za to brakuje pozostałych zależności (które nie są lokalne):

Fixed in commit 5969d37.

The previous fix was too aggressive — it skipped non-local deps entirely. The correct behavior is:

deps present in manifest-local.dmm → listed with $from <manifest> (resolved locally)
deps not in the manifest → listed without $from (fetched from the default remote)

So for dmgpio, the generated dmgpio-local.dmd will now look like:

dmhaman@>=0.3<1.0
dmgpio_port@>=0.1<1.0 $from /path/to/packages/manifest-local.dmm
dmini@>=0.3<1.0
