Does this even work?

[sihayas]

I have spent two hours trying to get this working with Swift Package Manager and I have no idea why it is so complicated? Do I have to specify different branches for each Package? Do I use main? Am I using a specific commit?

Create new Xcode project
File -> Add package dependency...
Add: https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx-swift-lm/ Dependency Rule: Main, or 8c9.. as it says in the readme
Attempt to add swift-hf-api-mlx

Could not be resolved

Failed to resolve dependencies Dependencies could not be resolved because root depends on 'swift-hf-api-mlx' 0.1.1..<1.0.0. 'swift-hf-api-mlx' >= 0.1.1 cannot be used because no versions of 'swift-hf-api-mlx' match the requirement 0.1.2..<1.0.0 and package 'swift-hf-api-mlx' is required using a stable-version but 'swift-hf-api-mlx' depends on an unstable-version package 'mlx-swift-lm'. unexpectedly did not find the new dependency in the package graph: sourceControl(identity: swift-hf-api-mlx, location: SwiftPM.SPMPackageDependency.SourceControlLocation.remote(SwiftPM.SPMSourceControlURL(sourceControlURL: https://github.com/DePasqualeOrg/swift-hf-api-mlx)), requirement: 0.1.1 – Next Major)

The integration packages (including swift-hf-api-mlx, which is mentioned in the error) currently pin a commit hash for the mlx-swift-lm dependency, because a new release hasn't been made here since #118. I encountered similar errors and was able to resolve them by specifying commit hashes.

After the new major version release here, I'll update the integration packages to require version 3, which should resolve these errors.

swift-hf-api-mlx on "main" + mlx-swift-lm on "8c9dd6391139242261bcf27d253c326f9cf2d567" works, which commit hash works for the tokenizer?

[DePasqualeOrg]

Try the latest one.

[sihayas]

Oh, did you just change something? I tried main on both the tokenizer + api-mlx before and it wasn't working

See, I don't understand why this keeps happening. I just tried adding it to a project again, this time adding tokenizers via main branch and it's saying the tokenizers repo does not even exist

github.com: https://github.com/DePasqualeOrg/swift-tokenizers-mlx/: The repository could not be found. Make sure a valid repository exists at the specified location and try again. unexpectedly did not find the new dependency in the package graph: sourceControl(identity: swift-tokenizers-mlx, location: SwiftPM.SPMPackageDependency.SourceControlLocation.remote(SwiftPM.SPMSourceControlURL(sourceControlURL: https://github.com/DePasqualeOrg/swift-tokenizers-mlx/)), requirement: main)

That's a strange error, because it clearly exists. Please try specifying the latest version (0.1.3) or commit hash (0cdb1623da387604dc61308bf1ec4a88791474fa) of swift-tokenizers-mlx, clearing the package cache, and updating packages.

Please also try specifying the latest version or commit hash in the other integration packages, if you're using one of them, and possibly also mlx-swift-lm.

Because I can't yet specify the next major version of mlx-swift-lm, there might be some inconveniences like this, but things should work normally (just specify a major version in all these packages) after the major version release here.

Unfortunately, Swift's package tooling often doesn't give helpful error messages or just fails when something isn't right. However, I've found that agents can be quite good at finding the root cause and resolving the issue.

Also I notice a trailing slash in the repo ID in those error messages. Maybe try removing that if it's in your Xcode project or Package.swift.

It just randomly started to work again. I have no idea what is going on. I copied and pasted the URL directly from the New Project that I was testing on to see if it would work on my main project.
