Setting up Vapor and Vapor-MySQL

Question

My Vapor and Vapor-MySQL setup died after I tried newer versions in my Package.swift file.

Ultimately, I wanted a Package.swift that included the following:

.Package(url: "https://github.com/vapor/vapor.git", majorVersion: 0, minor: 16), .Package(url: "https://github.com/vapor/mysql-provider.git", majorVersion: 0, minor: 4)

Then I ran vapor build --mysql That worked. No errors reported.

Then I flipped to Xcode to build the project and hit run.

I then hit a lot of Framework errors. "Pathindexable". "CryptoEssentials" and "Node" frameworks. Seemed to be linker errors.

I then ran vapor clean. Cleaned my project in Xcode. No joy.

Any idea why this did not work?

Answer 1

The missing command was:

vapor xcode --mysql

This automatically prompts you to open Xcode and fixes the linker errors.
