TargetScript should use FileListGlob instead of Path for inputFileListPaths

I cannot set the https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk/pull/11463 to ${BUILD_DIR}/../../SourcePackages/checkouts/firebase-ios-sdk/Crashlytics/CrashlyticsInputFiles.xcfilelist in TargetScript.

Could you share the exact error that you are getting? Also, could you share a reproducible project with us?

Steps to reproduce:

• cd ~/Developer && mkdir Demo && cd Demo

• tuist init

• edit Project.swift to below follow firebase SPM guide

  import ProjectDescription
  let project = Project(
      name: "Demo",
      packages: [
          .package(url: "https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk.git", .upToNextMajor(from: "10.26.0")),
      ],
      targets: [
          .target(
              name: "Demo",
              destinations: .iOS,
              product: .app,
              bundleId: "io.tuist.Demo",
              infoPlist: .extendingDefault(
                  with: [
                      "UILaunchStoryboardName": "LaunchScreen.storyboard",
                  ]
              ),
              sources: ["Demo/Sources/**"],
              resources: ["Demo/Resources/**"],
              scripts: [
                  .post(
                      script: "${BUILD_DIR%/Build/*}/SourcePackages/checkouts/firebase-ios-sdk/Crashlytics/run",
                      name: "FirebaseCrashlytics",
                      inputFileListPaths: [
                          "${BUILD_DIR}/../../SourcePackages/checkouts/firebase-ios-sdk/Crashlytics/CrashlyticsInputFiles.xcfilelist",
                      ]
                  )
              ],
              dependencies: [
                  .package(product: "FirebaseCrashlytics"),
              ],
              settings: .settings(
                  base: [
                      "OTHER_LDFLAGS": ["$(inherited)", "-ObjC"],
                  ]
              )
          ),
          .target(
              name: "DemoTests",
              destinations: .iOS,
              product: .unitTests,
              bundleId: "io.tuist.DemoTests",
              infoPlist: .default,
              sources: ["Demo/Tests/**"],
              resources: [],
              dependencies: [.target(name: "Demo")]
          ),
      ]
  )
  

• check ‘FirebaseCrashlytics’ build phase, the ‘Input File Lists’ take wrong value.

• build failed with error: “Unable to load contents of file list: ‘/Users/Foo/Developer/SourcePackages/checkouts/firebase-ios-sdk/Crashlytics/CrashlyticsInputFiles.xcfilelist’”

Thanks a lot @mo5tone. We added it to a list to prioritize it for next week

Any news on this? Seems next week never came)

We’re also having the same issue

Hi @stodirascu I had a quick look at the issue, and it happens in this line, which tries to convert the value into an absolute path, which is not something we should assume.

@fortmarek how do you feel about changing XcodeGraph.TargetScript.inputFileListPaths to be an enum with two cases, either an absolute path, or a string value?

Until we handle that, you can workaround the issue by integrating the dependencies using the XcodeProj-based integration. Here’s an attached demo showing how to do it:

Demo.zip

Note that the dependency is defined in Package.swift, and it’s referred to from the target using .external(...). By doing so, the path where Crashlytics is pulled is conventional, so you can refer to it using a relative path.

@fortmarek how do you feel about changing XcodeGraph.TargetScript.inputFileListPaths to be an enum with two cases, either an absolute path, or a string value?

I believe this is already the case: https://github.com/tuist/XcodeGraph/pull/132

What we need to do here is to also change the type in ProjectDescription to allow for [String] and not just [Path]. However, adding a path with Path should still be possible as it’s more convenient than raw Strings, so we’ll need to some conversion in the TargetScript factory.

Hi. Any updates on this? I don’t understand how to avoid this issue. It’s still add an absolute path in Input File Lists

Hi, @mo5tone. I’m Dosu, and I’m helping the tuist team manage their backlog and am marking this issue as stale.

Recap

• You reported that TargetScript.inputFileListPaths resolves Firebase Crashlytics .xcfilelist entries to absolute paths, which breaks SPM-based setups because Xcode can no longer load the file list.
• The discussion confirmed the bug is caused by converting the value to an absolute path.
• A workaround was suggested via XcodeProj-based integration with .external(...) dependencies, but that does not address the underlying issue.
• The likely fix is to let ProjectDescription accept raw string paths in addition to Path, and then update the TargetScript factory accordingly.
• Follow-up comments indicate the issue is still affecting other users and remains unresolved.

Next Steps

• If this is still relevant on the latest version of tuist, please comment here to keep the discussion open.
• Otherwise, this issue will be automatically closed in 7 days.

Thanks for your understanding and contribution.
