iOS: Merge Task Fails

Elements EBuild
1

I think this is related, since it only happened since I added this (and am on latest Fire), but I get an issue every time I make a change and build (or clean/build) for the simulator (my phone -13.3 and iPad-12.2 are fine) but it doesn’t happen on that test case above. First build, it stops (standard build log) and fails with 0 errors at

 Reference: /Applications/Fire.app/Contents/Resources/Toffee SDKs/iOS 13.2 Simulator/Intents.fx

Then looking at the diagnostic level it’s

             -> Task RemObjects.EBuild.Elements.ElementsDetermineFinalOutput started for myApp.
                -- Task RemObjects.EBuild.Elements.ElementsLink skipped for myApp, already ran.
                -> Task Merge started for myApp, Toffee-iOS.

 D:                FinalLinkerOutput
 D:                  - <FinalLinkerOutput-Simulator: /Users/Jeremy/Library/Application Support/RemObjects Software/EBuild/Obj/myApp-18FE5A069D1EF0020C5E0252A2CD67A596CBDE68/Debug/Toffee-iOS/Simulator/x86_64/myApp [Target: Toffee-iOS]>
                <- Task Merge failed for myApp, Toffee-iOS, took 0.2712s (0.2729s).

If I just build it again, it works fine, as it says “Using cached data for LinkerMerge-Simulator.” and the rest of the build goes through.

Any suggestions?

Hmm. the merge fails, but gets cached, so the next build the (failed) cached result gets used? I fixed an issue related to that weeks ago, but haven’t see that since. Can you run a --rebuild with --debug (one that fails, I presume) and send me the log? and.or can I see the project?

Meantime , I’ll dry-review the merge code for a scenario where it would fail, but still cache…

Too be clear, you’re not switching between phone and sim, you stay on simulate as a build target consistently, where this fails? (that said, rebuild always builds device and sim).

FWIW, canot repro this; created a new iOS project, added reference too Intents.fx, made it Weak. Builds fine, sim or device. make a change, build again, still fine. rebuild. fine. Maybe the fill log will help me see whats wrong.

does /Users/Jeremy/Library/Application Support/RemObjects Software/EBuild/Obj/myApp-18FE5A069D1EF0020C5E0252A2CD67A596CBDE68/Debug/Toffee-iOS/Simulator/x86_64/myApp exist when it says Task Merge failed for myApp?

The only code path I can see Merge failing w/o an explicit error message is if lipo were to fails w/o emitting any errors of its own. But according to the log lipo doesnt even run (I assume you only have one architecture active, which is the default).

I think I have this issue. Im building an iOS app for the simulator in debug mode. When I switch to release and do a rebuild I get this

Reproduced, investing now.

oddly, as I type this, I get a crash report from dsymutil. the tools is run as part of Merge if the “Generate .dSYM” option is on, and could explain this. do you get this too?

6

Its turned on with release but Im not getting a crash

7

Odd. crashes consistently here; I’m adding an explicit error message now, the dsymutil fails without emitting its own. Does turning off generate .dSYM fix the issue? also, what happens if you run

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/dsymutil "/Users/JohnMoshakis/Library/Application Support/RemObjects Software/EBuild/Obj/AppleSignInApp-F9C2D438AF28A12222C23263ADC13DFEF0F3732E/Release/Toffee-iOS/Simulator/x86_64/AppleSignInApp"

manually, does it run ok and generate the file/

8

here’s the crash I get:

I also fixed that the Merge task would marked as cached when it failed, and would then be skipped “successfully” (when it should not) for subsequent builds — the secondary symptom Jeremy reported.

As for the actual crash — no idea. Could be a new Catalina or Xcode bug, or could be a change in what the compiler generates (which I’ll have to check with the compiler team next week).

11

Thanks, logged as bugs://83713

12

I do see it now, I was looking in the wrong place.

13

With the latest Fire (on a different iMac though, this one has Catalina, the other Mojave), I’m getting “Generation of .dSYM with dsymutil failed.” at the merge point. If I turn off the generate dsym option, then it works.

14

Yep, that was ultimately the root cause for the problem, before (dsymutil crashes). thats not fixed (not sure ing thats our bug or Apple’s, yet), I only fixed that EBuild reports this better, and that EBuild doesnt erroneously treats the failed task as “cached” and skips it the next time.

15

Excellent, thanks for the confirmation. Let me know if you need a debug log/project, or anything else I can help with.

16

Na, it crashes here for me too, even for an empty iOS app. either Apple broke dsymutil, or the latest LLVM update broke something with hw debug info is generated that dsymutil can’t handle. Carlo will beed to check that when he’s back next week.

17

I’m getting a different error now, on a different project, and only with the latest Fire, which may be related to this given it’s the merge task. Here’s part of the log (diagnostic):

Hmm. seems like my change to us the local dsymutil isn’t working properly. I’ll investigate.

Is this from Fire with internal compiler, or external? can I get the full command like from for ebuild, from the top of the build log?

thanx!

19

Oddly, works ok for me

If you’re using external compiler, do you have dsymutil in your Bin folder?

20

Found it; Embedded compiler is missing dsymutil, Fiore passes empty --setting:Elements:DSymUtilExePath= to EBuild and EBuild doesnt ignore that empty setting as it should. Fixed on both ends; workaround for now is to use the external compiler. my apologies.
