[haxe 4.0.1] still git dependecies error

[djaonourside]

I'm trying build my project with haxe 4.0.1 and get
Error: Error: Cannot process [name of the lib]: git is not a valid version string. Same thing with haxe 4.0.0. Haxe 4 rc5 works fine.

Please, provide a sample haxelib.json and a haxelib command you are trying to execute.

I am also hitting this. I've come up with a repro involving transitive dependencies on git libraries and confirmed it is only an issue on Haxe 4.0.0 or newer (4.0.0-rc.5 was fine). Gist: https://gist.github.com/tbrosman/4d146abf3cb534e28be16646ffc04103

Instructions from Gist:

Overview

A repro for an issue in Haxelib where versions on transitive dependencies are always parsed as SemVer. This breaks in the case where you have:

A
B --(git ref)--> A
C --(git ref)--> B

Running

To check out the source:

git clone https://gist.github.com/fa733e78442af62abfb50a9c458677a1.git dummy-haxe-library-a
git clone https://gist.github.com/228302fc7eda9dc0b3f7f3f7d365b8e8.git dummy-haxe-library-b
git clone https://gist.github.com/4d146abf3cb534e28be16646ffc04103.git dummy-haxe-library-c

Then, install locally in a new repo to avoid polluting your system's global haxelib repo:

cd dummy-haxe-library-c
haxelib newrepo
haxelib install ./haxelib.json

Build:

haxe ./build.hxml

Error:

Error: Error: Cannot process [dummy-haxe-library-b]: git:https://gist.github.com/tbrosman/fa733e78442af62abfb50a9c458677a1.git#56ef121dfe88e8b10c2d0f643134927358f6f002 is not a valid version string

Note that the dependency in the error is dummy-haxe-library-a (fa7...) referenced from dummy-haxe-library-b.

[djaonourside]

My problem was solved by changing "version": "git" to "version": "0.0.1" in haxelib.json

Fixed by #485. Released with Haxe 4.0.2
