Hi @DmitrySokolov

Thanks for your question.

Hi @memsharded

Thanks!

But why there are 2 init() calls?

But why there are 2 init() calls?

The export and the install are separate steps, one loads the recipe in the user space, and then install loads the recipe in the cache, to guarantee reproducibility. The create command is equivalent to conan export + conan install --requires=<thepkg> --build=<thepkg> + conan test ...

So, the self.version field acquired in set_version() will be available in layout(), right?

Yes, but set_version() only works at export time, the self.version might come from the cache metadata once the package is in the cache, without executing the set_version() method.
