"Unable to find specification .." during pod install, but "pod spec which" succeeds

[amorde]

I might be doing this incorrectly, but I have added my repo successfully using pod repo-svn add and tested to see if cocoapods recognizes the template by running pod spec which MyPod

/Users/eric.amorde/.cocoapods/repos/private/Specs/MyPod/1.0.0/MyPod.podspec

But when trying a pod install on a project in which the Podfile declares MyPod as a dependency yields:

$ pod install
Analyzing dependencies
[!] Unable to find a specification for `MyPod`

The only thing I can think of is that at the top of the Podfile, I cannot add my repo as a source because cocoapods does not recognize that it is not a git repo and will fail.

Hey @amorde! What version of cocoapods are you using?

[amorde]

I was using 0.36 at the time, but have also used 0.37 and am now using 0.38.0.beta to test the new plugin api described here

I have a version of your plugin on my machine that supports the plugin 'cocoapods-repo-svn' syntax. If you're interested, I could clean it up and submit a PR. I was planning on making my own plugin that supports using local spec repos as sources in a Podfile

Also, I have since realized that it is indeed because I cannot use a local directory as a source in a Podfile. This is an issue with Cocoapods, not your plugin.

@amorde I really like the changes proposed in CocoaPods/CocoaPods#3792

And I always appreciate PRs! 🍰 🍰 🍰

[amorde]

Glad to hear it! If that PR makes it through, I'd be more than happy to implement it in this plugin and submit a PR

This issue likely isn't relevant anymore since it has to do with CocoaPods itself, so I'll close it.
