Gem conflict error with CLAide

[triplef]

With some recent update to Fastlane and/or its dependencies I’m getting the following error:

Unable to activate xcode-install-2.6.6, because claide-1.1.0 conflicts with claide (>= 0.9.1, < 1.1.0) (Gem::ConflictError)

If I understand it correctly this is because some other Gem with a dependency on CLAide caused claide-1.1.0 to be installed, but xcode-install requires a version < 1.1.0:

xcode-install/xcode-install.gemspec

Line 25 in 17b5e91

spec.add_dependency 'claide', '>= 0.9.1', '< 1.1.0'

Is there any reason for this restriction, or can anyone recommend how to resolve this?

The CLAide releases on GitHub don’t yet show version 1.1.0, but the changes from the last pre-1.1.0 version seem relatively small:
CocoaPods/CLAide@1.0.3...master

Hey @triplef 👋

I just checked here and none of fastlane's dependencies seem to require claide 1.1.0, and I was able to install xcode-install without issues (v2.8.0 though, not your specific v2.6.6). Although this shouldn't be the case but have you tried upgrading xcode-install?

Check if you have other dependencies locally other than fastlane that could be causing these issues. Try bundle clean also to get rid of unused gems, which might help with your issue if it's a cache problem.

Let me know your findings 🙏

I'm also reproducing this problem.
I've fastlane installed from brew.

$ fastlane run xcversion

Do you have any idea what could be the problem? where or why is it trying to install xcode-install?
If I check with gem list I can see it installed

$gem list

 xcode-install (2.8.0)

[rogerluan]

Thanks for the input @kikeenrique !
@triplef are you also installing fastlane using brew?

In general only Bundler is the recommended way to install fastlane and any other RubyGem dependencies 😬

Try cleaning up unused/old gems in your machine:

gem cleanup --dryrun # Will let you know what would be cleaned up, without removing anything
gem cleanup # Will clean up unused/old gems

[kikeenrique]

Indeed, I think it could be a problem with brew fastlane package.
There are two claide versions installed and xcode-install.gemspec is restricted to '>= 0.9.1', '< 1.1.0'

Hi @rogerluan and @kikeenrique, thank you both for looking into this! 🙏

I did install fastlane using RubyGems. No /usr/local/Cellar/fastlane.

I searched my Gems and the only one other than xcode-install requiring claide was xcodeproj, which doesn’t restrict its version:
https://github.com/CocoaPods/Xcodeproj/blob/master/Gemfile#L5

So I guess that somehow ended up installing claide-1.1.0, although I don’t know how exactly this happened on this machine (our build server).

[rogerluan]

@triplef just wondering, is it possible for you to use a bundler installation instead of installing the gem in the machine directly? Bundler is the recommended way to install gems in general. Although we do support all other installation methods and should look into this, I think that if you can use bundler, it will get you to the solution faster 😬

Unfortunately I don't have the bandwidth to investigate the RubyGems issue right now 😞

Also getting this error. Has anyone solved it yet?
