nim project complains about missing src/ prefix in hybrid package

[niv]

What am I doing wrong here?

Prompt: Missing directory /Users/niv/.nimble/pkgs/neverwinter-1.1.1/src/neverwinter. Continue? [y/N]

Package in question: https://github.com/niv/neverwinter.nim

The intent is to have a hybrid package that installs a bunch of binaries, but also ships the library the binaries use for other packages to import.

nimble file

import sequtils, ospaths, strutils

version       = "1.1.1"
author        = "Bernhard Stöckner <niv@nwnx.io>"
description   = "Neverwinter Nights 1 data accessor library and utilities"
license       = "MIT"

requires "nim >= 0.18.0"

srcDir = "src"
installDirs = @["neverwinter"]

binDir = "bin"
bin = listFiles("src").
  mapIt(it.splitFile.name).
  filterIt(it.startsWith("nwn_")).
  # There appears to be a compiler bug on 0.19.0 that segfaults it when
  # compiling nwn_net. So we skip it for 0.19.0.
  filterIt(NimVersion != "0.19.0" or it != "nwn_net")

Removing the src/ prefix from everything and storing the binary sources in the repo root, next to the nimble file, seems to work. I think I'm going to go with that for now.

[dom96]

srcDir = "src" but you've got no src directory in your package?

[dom96]

Oh, you moved stuff around. Not sure what's going on.

[niv]

Yes, moving things to the repro root fixed my use case.

The broken one is in git history: https://github.com/niv/neverwinter.nim/tree/c575f5fe8ced15e73ca926fb696ab26dafac20ef

I'm encountering the same error/problem on this branch: https://github.com/iffy/wiish/tree/fix-datafiles

I want to install the wiish binary as well as all files in the ./src. Here's what I'm seeing:

$ nimble install
  Verifying dependencies for wiish@0.1.0
   Warning: No .nimble or .nimble-link file found for /Users/matt/.nimble/pkgs/nimx-0.1

And uninstalling:

$ nimble remove wiish

In the nimble file, I've tried every combination of srcDir and installDirs I can think of, but none which installs all the files, and the binary, and doesn't prompt during install.

[dom96]

@iffy Does this not work?

installDirs   = @["wiishpkg"]
bin = @["wiish"]

[iffy]

@dom96, yes I finally got it to work (in a different branch), but not if I used srcDir. Using srcDir seems to make it not work. But I'm happy putting everything in the root of the repo, so... not a problem for me anymore :)

I ended up with this issue today.

Here's the nimble package directory structure as recommended in the README:

./
├── svvpi.nimble
└── src/
   ├── includes/
   │  └── bar
   ├── sv/
   │  └── foo
   ├── svvpi/
   └── svvpi.nim

Here's the nimble file:

# Package

version       = "0.0.1"
author        = "Kaushal Modi"
description   = "Wrapper for SystemVerilog VPI headers vpi_user.h and sv_vpi_user.h"
license       = "MIT"
srcDir        = "src"
skipExt       = @["bkp"]
installFiles  = @["svvpi.nim"]
installDirs   = @["svvpi", "includes", "sv"]

# Dependencies

requires "nim >= 1.4.6", "nimterop >= 0.6.13"

When I nimble install, I get:

 Installing svvpi@0.0.1
   Success: svvpi installed successfully.
