jkasten2 opened a new issue #121:
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-node-xcode/issues/121


   # Description
   ## One Line Summary
   `addTargetDependency` misses some dependency links if `PBXTargetDependency` 
or `PBXContainerItemProxy` are not present.
   
   ## Affect Projects
   Calls made to calls `addTarget` or  `addTargetDependency` with any 
`.xcodeproj` that only has one target, these do NOT have `PBXTargetDependency` 
or `PBXContainerItemProxy`.
   
   ## Details
   ### The root cause
   The following if statement in the `addTargetDependency` function skips the 
dependencies and other steps if it is missing.
   
https://github.com/apache/cordova-node-xcode/blob/8b98cabc5978359db88dc9ff2d4c015cba40f150/lib/pbxProject.js#L860
   
   ### Possible fixes
   #### Option 1 - Smallest number changes
   A simple way to fix this would be to use short-circuit evaluation where 
these `vars` are assigned to handle `null`, `undefined`, or if no key exists 
when reading from `hash.project.objects`.
   
https://github.com/apache/cordova-node-xcode/blob/8b98cabc5978359db88dc9ff2d4c015cba40f150/lib/pbxProject.js#L834-L835
   This could become the following to fix this issue:
   ```javascript
   pbxTargetDependencySection = this.hash.project.objects[pbxTargetDependency] 
|| {},
   pbxContainerItemProxySection = 
this.hash.project.objects[pbxContainerItemProxy] || {};
   ```
   
   #### Option 2 - Larger Refactor - Fix some clean up
   Same fix as option 1, but clean up the hard coded strings.
   
   1. Put these at the top of the file: 
   ```javascript
   const PBX_TARGET_DEPENDECY = "PBXTargetDependency";
   const PBX_CONTAINER_ITEM_PROXY = "PBXContainerItemProxy";
   ```
   
   2. Use them here and remove the old vars:
   ```javascript
   const pbxTargetDependencySection = 
this.hash.project.objects[PBXTargetDependency] || {};
   const pbxContainerItemProxySection = 
this.hash.project.objects[PBXContainerItemProxy] || {};
   ```
   
   ## Workaround
   ```javascript
   // Add code anytime before calling addTarget or addTargetDependency
   const projObjects = xcodeProject.hash.project.objects;
   projObjects['PBXTargetDependency'] = projObjects['PBXTargetDependency'] || 
{};
   projObjects['PBXContainerItemProxy'] = projObjects['PBXTargetDependency'] || 
{};
   ```
   
   ## Submitting a PR - Is this an active library?
   It has been over a year since there has been a release or even a commit. If 
the maintainers could chime in I'd be happy to create one.
   
   I have read the 
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/apache/cordova-node-xcode/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
 guide, is there any more to it than that? I see there is a good number of 
tests, I'll make sure to add one to cover the code change. Lastly let me know 
which of the possible fixes you prefer or if you have another idea.
