Nim version:

Atlas version (bundled with the Nim 2.2.0 download):


[xxx]$ atlas -v
version: 0.8.0 (sha: 5faec3e9a33afe99a7d22377dd1b45a5391f5504)

I don't know which of the following is a bug and which is intended behavior, but with outdated documentation.

Executing "atlas init" with --deps does not populate the "deps" entry in atlas.workspace

My starting point was a workspace directory with a single project directory. The project directory contained only a .nimble file.


test_workspace/
└── test_proj
    └── test_proj.nimble

The first step was to run atlas init


[xxx/test_workspace]$ atlas init --deps=_deps
[Info] (/xxx/test_workspace) created atlas.workspace
[Info] (_deps) created deps dir

This created an empty _deps directory and a file atlas.workspace


test_workspace/
├── atlas.workspace
├── _deps
└── test_proj
    └── test_proj.nimble

But atlas.workspace had an empty "deps" entry:


{
  "deps": "",
  "overrides": "",
  "plugins": "",
  "resolver": "SemVer",
  "graph": null
}

"Atlas use" does not clone into the directory specified by "deps" in atlas.workspace

My starting point for this was as above after executing atlas init --deps=_deps, but after I manually inserted _deps into atlas.workspace:


{
  "deps": "_deps",
  "overrides": "",
  "plugins": "",
  "resolver": "SemVer",
  "graph": null
}

Executing atlas use ran successfully:


[xxx/test_workspace/test_proj]$ atlas use sdl2

but sdl2 was cloned into the workspace directory - not into the _deps subdirectoy in the workspace:

Other unexpected/undocumented behavior:

a _deps subdirectory was created in the project directory, with packages (containing a set of cloned files) being a subdirectory there

a .nimble file was created in the workspace directory, containing a requires statement for the cloned package.

Executing "atlas install" fails with an uninformative error

This has been encountered by at least one other person (see here). Either it is a bug or the required usage of atlas install has changed.

The starting point was the same as for the atlas use test above.

Three versions of test_proj.nimble were tried.

Version 1 - a full nimble file (copied from nimx.nimble in nimx):


# Package

version     = "0.2"
author      = "Yuriy Glukhov"
description = "GUI framework"
license     = "MIT"

# Directory configuration
installDirs = @["nimx", "assets"]

# Dependencies

requires "sdl2"
requires "opengl"
requires "winim"
requires "nimsl >= 0.3"
requires "jnim" # For android target
requires "nake"
requires "closure_compiler >= 0.3.1"
requires "plists"
requires "variant >= 0.2 & < 0.3"
requires "kiwi"
requires "https://github.com/yglukhov/ttf >= 0.2.9 & < 0.3"
requires "https://github.com/yglukhov/async_http_request"
requires "jsbind"
requires "rect_packer"
requires "https://github.com/yglukhov/android"
requires "darwin"
requires "os_files"
requires "https://github.com/tormund/nester"
requires "nimwebp"
requires "https://github.com/yglukhov/clipboard"

Version 2 - a single line specifying a package name:


requires "sdl2"

Version 3 - a single line specifying a package url (I verified that the url points to a valid Nim project on Github):


requires "https://github.com/yglukhov/async_http_request"

Executing atlas install for all three versions gave the same error:


[xxx/test_workspace/test_proj]$ atlas install test_proj.nimble

A _deps subdirectory was created in the project directory, the same as for the atlas use test above, but nothing else happened.
