Xcode error: failed to turn Swift AST into Gryphon AST: Unknown expression

[sourcelocation]

Hello. I am getting this error. How to fix it? Thanks

Sorry for the delay! I thought I had left a comment here but apparently I forgot 😓

This is probably happening because you are trying to translate an expression that isn't supported yet.

Can you provide more information? It'd be helpful if you could say the version of Gryphon you're using, and also if you could show the part of your code that's giving this error.

Hi @massimobio, your problem seems to be different than the original post's, but let's take a look.

I don't think I've tested Xcode support on a project with an xcworkspace yet; that might be making xcodebuild confused (which would make Gryphon confused too).

Let's try this: in your project's folder there should be a hidden folder called .gryphon. In it, there should be a file called updateASTDumps.sh. Could you show me that file's contents?

[vinivendra]

No worries! Let's try to find the problem, then we'll create a new issue if we need to.

It seems from this file that Gryphon is only asking Swift to parse three files for it:

Share Extension iOS/ShareViewController.swift
Shared/Classes/ColorExtensions.swift
Shared/Classes/Logging.swift

The file you want to translate, which I assume is called something like MixerInstrumentType.swift, doesn't seem to be on this list, which gives you that error.

Is there maybe another target on your xcproject that compiles only these files? Or another project in your xcworkspace?

[massimobio]

I use Cocoapods which is the only other project in my workspace besides the main app.
Within the main project I have a few targets and the one you listed is the iOS Share extension that only contains a few files. Is there a way to tell Gryphon which target to use?

[vinivendra]

There isn't yet, but it shouldn't be hard to implement. I've added issue #40 to track this problem. Let me take a look and I'll let you know if I manage to fix it.
