pod spec lint: Attempt to read non existent folder

Question

Trying to lint a local pod spec

$ pod spec lint MyPod.podspec

I'm getting

[!] Attempt to read non existent folder /private/tmp/CocoaPods/Lint/Pods/MyPod.

I checked /private/tmp/CocoaPods/Lint/Pods/ where I didn't find my podspec indeed,
but I found it in /private/tmp/CocoaPods/Lint/Pods/Local Podspecs/

What can cause this and/or how can I debug ?

---

For info here is my pod spec

Pod::Spec.new do |s|
    s.name         = "MyPod"
    s.version      = "0.0.1"
    s.summary      = "A pretty cool pod"
    s.author       = { "Me" => "[email protected]" }
    s.license      = 'MIT'
    s.homepage     = "http://www.mypod.net"
    s.source       = { :path => "." }
    s.source_files = '*.{h,m}'
    s.platform     = :ios, '6.0'
    s.requires_arc = true
end

:path seems to cause the trouble, :git works

Answer 1

In my case it was caused by commented s.source line as I was testing it before with local podspec and sources. When you'll commit your podspec to the repo make sure to run pod repo update

Answer 2

This can also happen if you have not yet pushed your podspec's targeted tags to your origin/repo. I assume the same might also be true if you are targeting a non-existent git, branch, etc.
