Description

This issue impacts the Podspec template for the following generators:

• Swift
• Swift2
• Swift3
• Swift4
• Swift5

Clients are unable to set the podspec source. This renders the generated Pod unusable by any Cocoapod consumers for two reasons:

1. The generated spec file has invalid syntax when the podSource is provided
2. If the podSource is not provided, the client location is set to the OpenAPITools repository, which is obviously incorrect since these are the generated clients and not part of the OpenAPITools project.

This issue is caused by issue #3874. I am opening a new bug report because this particular version of the issue can be remedied without fixing #3874 (which can be very complicated to address, and would impact all users).

openapi-generator version

Impacts v4 and the v5 branch

OpenAPI declaration file content or url

{"openapi":"3.0.0","info":{"title":"API","version":"0"}, "paths": {}}

This issue can occur with any OpenAPI declaration file.

Command line used for generation

java -jar openapi-generator-cli.jar generate -g swift4 -i empty.json -p "podSource={ :git => 'git@github.com:adamkaplan/myclient.git', :tag => 'v0' }"

Steps to reproduce

Using the command above, the generated output in OpenAPIClient.podspec is:

Pod::Spec.new do |s|
  s.name = 'OpenAPIClient'
  s.ios.deployment_target = '9.0'
  s.osx.deployment_target = '10.11'
  s.tvos.deployment_target = '9.0'
  s.version = '0'
  s.source = { :git => 'git@github.com:adamkaplan/myclient.git'
  s.authors = 'OpenAPI Generator'
  s.license = 'Proprietary'
  s.homepage = 'https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator'
  s.summary = 'OpenAPIClient Swift SDK'
  s.source_files = 'OpenAPIClient/Classes/**/*.swift'
  s.dependency 'Alamofire', '~> 4.9.0'
end

In particular, the issue is on the source line:

Observed:
s.source = { :git => 'git@github.com:adamkaplan/myclient.git'
Expected:
s.source = { :git => 'git@github.com:adamkaplan/myclient.git', : tag => 'v0' }

The observed Podspec file is not parsable.

Related issues/PRs

The underlying problem is caused by Issue #3874

Suggest a fix

Fixing issue 3874 would suffice. However that issue is complicated. In practice, it is rare to need to override the entire podSource. Most Podspecs out there use a common syntax which varies only in the git repository URL:

s.source = { :git => 'git@github.com:MyOrg/MyProj.git', :tag => s.version.to_s }

The tag is typically set to s.version.to_s which is Ruby for "use the tag that matches the Pod version". Therefore, I suggest adding a template option named podSourceRepo which is a git-compatible specified like the one shown above. This would avoid the comma parsing issue and actually make using the Swift generators a bit easier for the majority of people.

I'm experiencing this issue too.
Will there fix for this soon?

[Paul-Etienne]

I'm not sure if it's relevant but I'm not facing this issue when generating through the OpenAPI Generator maven plugin.
Hopefully that can be a workaround for some people.

I'm experiencing this on both npm and mvn clean package

with NPM

openapi-generator-cli generate -g swift5 --additional-properties=projectName=OpenApiClient,podVersion=1.4.1,responseAs=Combine \
--library alamofire -o ./outDir \
-i https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openapitools/openapi-generator/master/modules/openapi-generator/src/test/resources/3_0/petstore.yaml

with mvn clean package

java -jar modules/openapi-generator-cli/target/openapi-generator-cli.jar generate -g swift5 \
--additional-properties=projectName=OpenApiClient,podVersion=1.4.1,responseAs=Combine --library alamofire \
-o ./outDir -i https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openapitools/openapi-generator/master/modules/openapi-generator/src/test/resources/3_0/petstore.yaml`

Pod::Spec.new do |s|
  s.name = 'CloudHospitalClient'
  s.ios.deployment_target = '9.0'
  s.osx.deployment_target = '10.11'
  s.tvos.deployment_target = '9.0'
  s.watchos.deployment_target = '3.0'
  s.version = '1.4.1'
  s.source = { :git => 'git@github.com:OpenAPITools/openapi-generator.git', :tag => 'v1' }
  s.authors = 'OpenAPI Generator'
  s.license = 'Proprietary'
  s.homepage = 'https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator'
  s.summary = 'CloudHospitalClient Swift SDK'
  s.source_files = 'CloudHospitalClient/Classes/**/*.swift'
  s.dependency 'Alamofire', '~> 4.9.1'
end

both generates same podspec as above where :tag => 'v1.0,0' fixed which I believe it is generated by below source code

Podspec.mustache line 9

s.source = {{#podSource}}{{& podSource}}{{/podSource}}{{^podSource}}{ :git => 'git@github.com:OpenAPITools/openapi-generator.git', :tag => 'v{{#apiInfo}}{{version}}{{/apiInfo}}{{^apiInfo}}}0.0.1{{/apiInfo}}' }{{/podSource}}

When the comma between :git and :tag removed:

java -jar modules/openapi-generator-cli/target/openapi-generator-cli.jar generate -g swift5 --additional-properties=projectName=OpenApiClient,podVersion=1.4.1,responseAs=Combine --library alamofire -o ./outDir -i https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openapitools/openapi-generator/master/modules/openapi-generator/src/test/resources/3_0/petstore.yaml -p "podSource={ :git => 'git@github.com:adamkaplan/myclient.git' :tag => 'v1.4.0' }"   

and it generates properly but without comma separation

Pod::Spec.new do |s|
s.name = 'OpenApiClient'
s.ios.deployment_target = '9.0'
s.osx.deployment_target = '10.11'
s.tvos.deployment_target = '9.0'
s.watchos.deployment_target = '3.0'
s.version = '1.4.1'
s.source = { :git => 'git@github.com:adamkaplan/myclient.git' :tag => 'v1.4.0' }
s.authors = 'OpenAPI Generator'
s.license = 'Proprietary'
s.homepage = 'https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator'
s.summary = 'OpenApiClient Swift SDK'
s.source_files = 'OpenApiClient/Classes/**/*.swift'
s.dependency 'Alamofire', '~> 4.9.1'
end
