How do dependencies work?

[edwardalee]

The following Lingo.toml file gives an error when running lingo build:

% lingo build
failed to create dependency manager because of cannot find branch
Cloning mqtt ...%

The file:

[package]
name = "simulation"
version = "0.1.0"

[[app]]
name = "LockToSimulator"
main = "src/LockToSimulator.lf"
target = "C"
platform = "Native"

[app.properties]
fast = false

[dependencies]
mqtt-c = {version=">=0.1", git="https://github.com/lf-pkgs/mqtt-c.git", branch="main"}

This is my best guess for how to import the mqtt-c library (which exists at the address above). The Lingo README file file implies that something like this should work. What am I doing wrong? Can we give an example in the README file that actually works?

It was actually a problem inside lingo: I was only looking for local branches. Therefore branch="origin/main would have worked.

I fixed the problem in #57 by automatically checking for local and remote branches.

Thanks for the report!
