Getting a Segmentation fault: 11 with Swift 5.2 when using FileManager.default.currentDirectoryPath

Viewed 528

I've got a custom Swift script that is similar to the following:

#!/usr/bin/env xcrun --sdk macosx swift

import Foundation

let path = FileManager.default.currentDirectoryPath

On Swift 5.1 and lower it runs just fine, but upon updating to Swift 5.2, I get

0.

Have there been any breaking changes that I'm not aware of?

Turns out that in this case, the problem was in rogue overlay dylibs that were in place because I've been using SwiftGen.

The solution is to either uninstall SwiftGen by calling

brew uninstall swiftgen

or following Nikolaj's answer from Swift bug tracking system by reinstalling SwiftGen with

--build-from-source

option and removing the dylibs from "lib" folder.

I've had the same problem. Having older Xcode versions installed in parallel, I simply switched the Xcode version and avoided dealing with SwiftGen. You can change the Xcode version in the menu under

Xcode -> Preferences -> Locations -> Command Line Tools
