tuist: SPM external dependency of Realm fails to build

Describe the bug I’m having problems with version 2.0 of Tuist and the Realm dependency when I’m trying to add a SPM dependency in the new Dependencies.swift file. If I fetch the dependencies and then try to warm the cache I receive the following error:

$ tuist cache warm
Resolved cache profile 'Development' from Tuist's defaults
Generating workspace Tuist2.xcworkspace
Generating project Tuist2
Generating project RealmDatabase
Generating project Realm

Targets to be cached: Bid, ObjectStore, Realm, Storage, SyncClient, Tuist2Kit, Tuist2UI

Generating project Tuist2

** BUILD FAILED **



The following build commands failed:
	CompileC /Users/user/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Tuist2-ghwkelueyzdckhgvykcnxryadssl/Build/Intermediates.noindex/RealmDatabase.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/Storage.build/Objects-normal/x86_64/version.o /Users/josemiguel.benedicto/Downloads/tuist2/Tuist/Dependencies/SwiftPackageManager/.build/checkouts/realm-core/src/realm/version.cpp normal x86_64 c++ com.apple.compilers.llvm.clang.1_0.compiler (in target 'Storage' from project 'RealmDatabase')

    return REALM_VERSION_EXTRA;
    ^

If I generate the project, focus in the app target and build it without warming the cache I receive the same error:

❌ /Users/user/Documents/workspace/tuist2/Tuist/Dependencies/SwiftPackageManager/.build/checkouts/realm-core/src/realm/version.cpp:35:5: non-void function 'get_extra' should return a value [-Wreturn-type]

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

I have a super small project that includes Realm dependency to reproduce the issue: tuist2.zip

Then follow these commands to warm the cache:

tuist dependency fetch
tuist cache warm

It is also replicable when generating and focusing the project and then building in Xcode:

tuist dependency fetch
tuist generate
tuist focus Tuist2
Run the Tuist2 target

Expected behavior The SPM package compiles

Screenshots N/A

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: macOS
Version 12.1
Xcode 13.2.1

Additional context I suspect there are some issues relate wrong C++ dialect or some flags that aren’t applied property or missing build settings when compiling.

Folks, this is an open source project. I imagine the maintainers don’t actively use Realm so it’s not immediately something we can budget time for, it would be helpful to get a PR that adds a test for this / attempts a fix we can then review and help further

Would be nice with some updates regarding this issue. Would love to help but I think I won’t be able to 😄

We are currently also facing the issue with Realm. When we include an external SPM dependency that relies on Realm it fails to build. I already tried out the main branch of tuist and the issue still persists in the generated project.

Is there any progress??

@danyf90 As a test I altered the generated Realm project to add a Headers build phase, then added all the header files to it and it allowed it to get further, however, it failed at a later stage due to symbols and warnings about the header files not being in Realm.h umbrella header. I will have been hacking it to try and add the header files so likely did something wrong there.

Thanks for the information. For now I will move all my other SPM dependencies to use Dependencies.swift and will leave Realm using the previous approach for now.

@Drag0ndust a part of the fix will be included in the next version (which probably will be released today in some hours), yet there will be the need of a second fix and it won’t compile yet. But you may workaround this second issue by adding the correct HEADER_SEARCH_PATH
