Describe the bug

If xcodebuild -version returns

xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance

swiftlint fails with

$ swiftlint lint
Fatal error: Loading sourcekitd.framework/Versions/A/sourcekitd failed: file SourceKittenFramework/library_wrapper.swift, line 31
[1]    83461 trace trap  swiftlint lint

Could we add some kind of detection for this condition and emit a more useful error message?

Complete output when running SwiftLint, including the stack trace and command used

• Which Xcode version are you using (check xcodebuild -version)?

xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance

• Do you have a sample that shows the issue? Run echo "[string here]" | swiftlint lint --no-cache --use-stdin --enable-all-rules
  to quickly test if your example is really demonstrating the issue. If your example is more
  complex, you can use swiftlint lint --path [file here] --no-cache --enable-all-rules.

No

I agree this error isn't great. It's coming from here by the way: https://github.com/jpsim/SourceKitten/blob/863680921bcc3ba9785c9584d4dd195f8597c7d8/Source/SourceKittenFramework/library_wrapper.swift#L31

We'd need to change that from a fatal error to a non-fatal error that can be caught and handled.

Or perform validation up front before trying to load libraries that may not be available.

Same problem here. Installation using homebrew

sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer then it works
