10619 :: nimble install error wanted ... got -1

• michaelplotke (orginal) [2023-11-09T13:56:47+01:00] view original

  I have a new nimble project. In the .nimble file I have the following require.

  
  requires "karax >= 1.3.2"
  Run

  When I attempt to nimble install I get the following error during the karax installation.

  
  Error:  Downloaded package's version does not satisfy requested version range: wanted >= 1.3.2 got -1
  Run

  I have tried various older versions but the resulting error differs in the wanted but is otherwise the same.

  Two question.

  1. What does it means that I got -1? Under what circumstances does this occur?
  2. What are the steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue such that I can install karax?

  I've never seen this error before. As a workaround try atlas init && atlas use karax

  There was a mismatch between the version number in the git tag and the version number in the nimble file. Not sure if that was causing the issue. I have just pushed v1.3.3 with the correct nimble file/tag

  The mismatch was not the cause of the issue. It manifested also given the version == 1.3.1.

  I used atlas but found it complicated beyond what I wanted to learn in the moment.

  Instead I deleted ~/.nimble and re-ran nimble install to resolve the issue.
