digitalmars.D.learn - DUB is not working correctly

Hello, I have problems with working in dub environment. If I try 
to init my project with 'dub init', all needed files will be 
created successfully. However, when I run 'dub run', the manager 
gives me an error:

'Configuration 'application' of package application contains no 
source files. Please add {"targetType": "none"} to its package 
description to avoid building it.
Package with target type "none" must have dependencies to build.'

If I set targetType in dub.json to "none", the only message:
  'Package with target type "none" must have dependencies to 
build.'

will remain. When I set targetName to "app" or any other name, 
the problem will appear again with the same message above. I 
flicked through many forums and videos how to correctly install 
dub, and nothing helped.

I am using dub 1.23.0 built on Sep 25 2020 on Windows 10 x64. 
Will be very thankful for your help!

Doesn't seem like an installation problem.

Could you post your dub.json contents and describe what you are 
trying to achieve?

Do you have your source files in 'src' or 'source' folder next to 
the dub.json file? If not, you need to tell dub to treat any 
other non conventional folder as source location.

Sure, here are dub.json contents:
{
	"authors": [
		"Max"
	],
	"copyright": "Copyright © 2021, Max",
	"description": "A minimal D application.",
	"license": "proprietary",
	"dependencies": {
		"dsfml": "~>2.1.1"
	},
	"targetType": "none",
	"targetName": "app",
	"name": "test"
}

I just want to run it by typing 'dub run'. But the error message 
says that I need to set targetType to none, add targetName and 
dependencies for it.

I have folder source next to dub.json. I'd better show you my 
project structure:

test
|  source
|     app.d
|  dub.json

ok, you don't need targetType in this case, setting it to none 
means it will do nothing.

the original message likely related to dsmfl which haven't been 
updated since 2016, maybe you can try another package, for 
example bindbc-smfl (there is older 'derelict' series, and 
'bindbc' series which is newer and recommended over derelict)

Unfortunately, I tried bindbc-sfml package but the problem is 
still existing. I also started a new project and without any 
changes ran it but the result was the same. Anyway, thank you so

Sounds like something is wrong with your toolchain installation. An
empty project ought to work.  Maybe try a fresh reinstall?

Unfortunately, the program is still saying me:

description to avoid building it.

Then may see, dsfml generate libs with uderscore sign -

I think that dsfml itself causing this problem with underscores. 
As evilrat said, dsfml haven't been updated since 2016.

I think, its a problem with dsfml project.

You can see it in 
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\dub\packages\dsfml-2.1.1\dsfml

There is a build.d  build program, i compile it and build.exe 
-unittest fails, can see source code :

Needed depencies dsfmlc-*.lib (note 'c' on tth end!)

So its not a dub problem, just needed dsfmlc-*.libs, which is not 
a part of a dsfml-2.1.1, but maybe external to C-linking

I agree with you. Well, dsfml is a very old library. It's a pity 
that the main problem of this topic was caused not because of 
dsfml but something else. In any case, thank you very much for 
your help!

Thanks for the tip! Anyway, if I understood right, I would add 
"dsfmlc-*.lib" to dependencies in my dub.json. But it needs a 
version which I don't know.

So, I tried to put '"dependencies": { "dsfmlc-*.lib": "~>2.1.1" 
}' in the file but it didn't compile because of wrong version.

I am sorry if I got you wrong.

Wait, I have just noticed that you said about dub which came with 
dmd. So, was dub on your computer right after compiler 
installation or you did you do this manually?

Many years DMD come together with dub.

 Wait, I have just noticed that you said about dub which came 
 with dmd. So, was dub on your computer right after compiler 
 installation or you did you do this manually?


 Many years DMD come together with dub.

 Look at dmd2\windows\bin\ folder


I thought, if I run native dub (without installation from 
github), all will be fine, but it isn't.

Wierd, have never encountered that. I'm also using Win 10 x64.

 'Configuration 'application' of package application contains no

 If I set targetType in dub.json to "none", the only message:
  'Package with target type "none" must have dependencies to 
 build.'

 will remain. When I set targetName to "app" or any other name, 
 the problem will appear again with the same message above. I 
 flicked through many forums and videos how to correctly install 
 dub, and nothing helped.

 I am using dub 1.23.0 built on Sep 25 2020 on Windows 10 x64. 
 Will be very thankful for your help!


I think, I need to rephrase the question for the present 
situtation: how can I force DUB to change targetName? It doesn't 
read my changes in dub.json, and I don't know why. In my opinion, 
that happens because of DUB can't accept my changes to the file. 
But how to make the manager admit it? I apologize to everyone who 
understood me wrong.

And my problem has been substituted by another! Now DUB says to 
me to set targetName with this problem:
'No target name set.'

Just study dub.pm site (it's not obvious to find it)

Looks like something specific to your machine.

The last thing I could think of is to run dub with -v flag 
(verbose mode), look for all steps performed and check the output 
for anything that potentially could cause a failure.
Could be related to paths with spaces, path with non-ascii 
symbols, antivirus software, FS permissions, missing C++ SDK's 
and runtime libs, compiler toolchain installation, basically 
anything...

And possibly paste the output of -v here, somebody may be able to

It works! Thank you so much! The problem was in spaces in the

If you use an ide to edit the DUB receipt maybe it's possible 
that you forgot to save the project before retriggering a 
rebuild. If so then the file used by DUB is still in its previous 
state.
