Swift - Basics and Runtime
You wrote a Package.swift file but when running swift build, you get an error about missing targets. What is a likely cause?
AYou forgot to create the <code>Tests</code> folder.
BThe <code>targets</code> array in <code>Package.swift</code> is empty or missing the source target.
CYou ran <code>swift build</code> outside the package directory.
DThe Swift compiler is not installed.
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Analyze the error about missing targets
Missing targets usually mean the Package.swift file does not list the source targets properly in its targets array.
Step 2: Check other options
While running outside the directory or missing compiler causes other errors, the specific missing target error points to the manifest file's targets section.
Final Answer:
The targets array in Package.swift is empty or missing the source target. -> Option B
Quick Check:
Missing targets error = fix targets array in Package.swift [OK]
Quick Trick:Check targets array in Package.swift if build says missing targets. [OK]
