Xcode-Build-Server

apple's sourcekit-lsp doesn't support xcode project. but I found it provide a build server protocol to integrate with other build system. this is why I created this repo.

This repo aims to integrate xcode with sourcekit-lsp, so I can develop iOS with my favorate editor.

Install

clone this repo, and just ln -s ABSPATH/TO/xcode-build-server /usr/local/bin

Usage

Manual Parse Xcodebuild log

xcode build, copy the build log, and then in Workspace root, run:

pbpaste | xcode-build-server parse

this should generate buildServer.json, which hook sourcekit-lsp to use the buildServer to provide compile infomation and a .compile hidden file, which provide actual compile command

last, restart your language server, and it should work.

if your build environment changes(eg: add new files, switch sdk, debug/release, conditional macro, etc..) and language server work incorrectly, just repeat previous action to update compile info

PS: Recent Xcode may copy failed. if the case, use the export button to save log to file, and in workspace root run:

xcode-build-server parse <PATH/TO/Log>

Sync Xcodebuild log

xcode-build-server provider post-build-action script to auto parse newest log into .compile and generate buildServer.json.
just add xcode-build-server postaction | bash & into script in scheme -> Build -> Post-actions. and script should choose provide build settings from target

after this, the compile info should auto generate when xcode build and no need further manual parse.

Index And Build

sourcekit-lsp use indexing while build. if you found find definition or references is not work correctly, just build it from xcode to update index
