that's interesting indeed :) I'll have a look soon-ish. Thanks :)

this line is doing the same for ios apps and it's causing me to hit max path https://github.com/snipsco/dinghy/blob/master/src/ios/xcode.rs#L39

commenting out that line and it's alive again

Ok, by any chance, do you happen not to have a .gitignore file around that skips target ? I think this is the reason why you got in trouble, as dinghy uses https://docs.rs/ignore/0.1.9/ignore/ to guess what to copy (to target/ first, and then to the device).

Removing it on one of my project leads to absurd behaviour of a different kind, but still aberrant (infinite loop while copying stuff in target).

I think the best way to go is a fix that explicitely ignores target/, but it would be nice if you could confirm the absence of .gitignore in your project.

I don't have one because that project uses hg not git
Guess I'll do more yak shaving and add hg support to ignore :p
I think for people who use other things though target should definitely be filtered regardless

yep, doing that right now.

thanks for confirming the bug

Why does the android one copy the files by the way? I don't see that it does anything with them.

from dinghy.

you do not require them per se... but many times, tests rely on the presence of test data in a separate file that is read by the test.
So the strategy is to copy the project code in a predictable place, and have the test checking the environment to know where to look for.

i have pushed a 0.2.8 that will always ignore /target/. I'm pretty sure this will bite me some day, but I'll deal with it at that time :)

from dinghy.

well it gets further, but i get a failure trying to run the tests on android cause dinghy is a dir not an executable

if you're looking at this don't worry. i was working on a PR and have fixed it in that :)
