Description

I get this error every two or three builds:

titanium build -p ios


/Volumes/Data/titaniumsdks/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/3.2.0.v20130828101643/node_modules/node-appc/node_modules/wrench/lib/wrench.js:302
            var filename = files.shift();
                                 ^

I simply re-run the above command and after another try it works. Sometimes this doesn't happen, sometimes I need to re-run the command 45 times. Thank you.

Hello Dan Tamas, Can you please posting few test code and test cases for this issue? Thanks

Why did you close the ticket? When you ask for more info, you wait for it.

We should not mark these tickets resolved until we have a resolution. It appears that this issue needs to be investigated based on the log here even if we don't have a test case.

Not sure why this ticket was assigned to me. It should be triaged and assigned to the right person.

I just tested with 3.3.0-rc and I was unable to reproduce this issue. This ticket is pretty old. I can't believe anybody is still having this issue today. In Titanium 3.2.0, we shipped Wrench v1.5.4. In 3.3.0, we're using v1.5.8 which is the latest. Perhaps this issue was caused by a bug in that old version of Wrench or perhaps the bug was in the old iOS build. I rewrote significant portions of the iOS build towards the end of the 3.2.0 development cycle that would have been after 8/28/2013. Resolving as could not reproduce. Please comment/re-open if you can still reproduce this with 3.2.3 or newer.

Chris, since 3.2.x I don't think I have this issue anymore. Sometimes the cli won't upload on device, so it compiles then dies quietly without actually trying to upload the app on device. If I use any other utility to upload the app (fruitstrap based) all goes ok. But I think this is another ticket :)

OK, cool. The install to device since 3.2.x should be pretty smooth. If you figure out a reproducible pattern, please create a ticket and I'll get it fixed right away. On a side note, you can always test it with [node-ios-device](https://www.npmjs.org/package/node-ios-device) directly: npm install node-ios-device cd node-ios-device Edit tests/test-installApp.js and fix the path to the .app folder, cross your fingers, then run: node tests/test-installApp.js

Cool, I'll have a look as soon as I'm back from Amsterdam ;)
