Issue with Vapor Server
// swift-tools-version: 5.8 // The swift-tools-version declares the minimum version of Swift required to build this package. import PackageDescription let package = Package( name: "MyServer", platforms: [.macOS("12.0")], products: [ // Products define the executables and libraries a package produces, and make them visible to other packages. .executable( name: "MyServer", targets: ["MyServer"]), ], dependencies: [ .package(url: "https://github.com/vapor/vapor.git", .upToNextMajor(from: "4.70.0")), // Dependencies declare other packages that this package depends on. // .package(url: /* package url */, from: "1.0.0"), ], targets: [ // Targets are the basic building blocks of a package. A target can define a module or a test suite. // Targets can depend on other targets in this package, and on products in packages this package depends on. .executableTarget( name: "MyServer", dependencies: [ .product(name: "Vapor", package: "vapor") ]), .testTarget( name: "MyServerTests", dependencies: ["MyServer"]), ] )
