Good day
I am developing XRKit framework, which contains the pipeline logic for rendering using Metal, in manifest it has two targets - framework itself in Swift and XRKitDefenitions in C++ and MSL (since Apple forbids us multilingualism in one package). Both targets have Resources folders open in their manifest.
When I try to access the test files hello01.txt (Resources for XRKit) and hello2.txt (Resources for XRKitDefenitions) via Bundle.module, I only see hello01.txt and it doesn't read hello2.txt because it's in a different target.
How do I properly organize my code with SPM to access the Resources of XRKitDefenitions target?
PS When trying to organize XRKitDefenitions as a remote package on GitHub and defining it as a dependency, situation does not change. I understand now that Bundle.module only refers to its Resources. Is there a way to refer to resources that provided other targets or dependencies in the same package?
Solution to my question is as follows:
- "Child" package with C++ code now contains only ‘.c’ and ‘.h’ files linked to each other;
- «Рarent» package with Swift code contains ‘*.metal’ file with the shaders (now in root directory, but this is easy to fix);
- Necessary headers in the .metal file are now accessed like this:
#include "../XRKitDefenitions/include/VertexAttributes.h"
#include "../XRKitDefenitions/include/TextureIndices.h"
- Complete ‘Package.swift’ code now looks like this:
let package = Package(
name: "XRKit",
platforms: [.macOS(.v10_15), .iOS(.v13)],
products: [
.library(name: "XRKit", targets: ["XRKit"]),
.library(name: "XRKitDefenitions", targets: ["XRKitDefenitions"])
],
targets: [
.target(
name: "XRKitDefenitions",
path: "Sources/XRKitDefenitions",
cxxSettings: [
.headerSearchPath("../include/")
]
),
.target(
name: "XRKit",
dependencies: ["XRKitDefenitions"],
path: "Sources/XRKit",
resources: [
.copy("Shaders.metal"),
]
)
]
)
- Create MTLLibrary like this:
self.mtlDevice.makeDefaultLibrary(bundle: .module);
It was interesting to figure out on my own how it could work for my case :)
