Hi everyone,
I would like to obtain detailed information about a package and all its
dependencies in an automated fashion. At first I thought that the
two commands "swift package describe" and "swift package show-dependencies" are
a perfect fit for that. More concretely,
I wanted to perform the following commands:
1. Execute the command "swift package fetch" to make sure that all dependencies
are downloaded
2. Execute the command "swift package show-dependencies --format json" to
obtain a description of
each package (i.e., name, path, etc.) as well as the dependency relationship
between the packages.
3. For each package, do the following to obtain information about the modules
in that package:
cd path-of-package
swift package describe --type json
However, if a package has dependencies, the command "swift package describe
--type json" will perform another fetch.
I am not sure why this is necessary since the output of that command only
contains information about the individual modules of
the package. Unfortunately, this means that the same dependencies are
downloaded multiple times if a package's dependencies have
themselves further dependencies, which makes the process above quite slow. Is
this a bug or is there another way to retrieve the same information?
Thanks and best regards
