[vcpkg upgrade] overlay triplet on osx does not work when running vcpkg upgrade.

[daschuer]

Describe the bug

I am trying to us a overlay triplet for x64-osx
I have created overlay/triplets/x64-osx.cmake and set the environment variable VCPKG_OVERLAY_TRIPLETS to overlay/triplets

When building a port, I receive these lines:

[OVERLAY] Loading triplet configuration from: /Users/runner/mixxx-vcpkg/overlay/triplets/x64-osx.cmake
...
...
Error getting canonicalization of overlay/triplets: No such file or directory

Is it correct that the first line confirms that the file is there but it forgets it later on?

Environment

• OS: osx
• Compiler: GNU 11.1.0

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Use this workflow on github:
https://github.com/mixxxdj/vcpkg/blob/871675591e3fcc2b876d7a6f59cbe3518a142580/.github/workflows/build.yml

I am not able to provide a minimum failing receipt, because I have no access to an osx device.

Expected behavior
The overlay triplet should be used without failing

Failure logs
https://github.com/mixxxdj/vcpkg/runs/2960968025?check_suite_focus=true

Additional context
We need the overlay to set the VCPKG_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to 10.12 for compatibility with old devices.

This issue cannot be reproduced by setting VCPKG_OVERLAY_TRIPLETS to an absolute path or a relative path.
But just in case, please make sure your vcpkg is up to date (and run bootstrap again) and set it as an absolute path and try again.

Thanks.

[daschuer]

I will do.
Which OS did you try to reproduce it?
On Windows I cannot reproduce it either.

[JackBoosY]

@daschuer On OSX.

The issue is fixed when using an absolute path.

I also test the relative path and it also works. No idea why it failed on your machine.
Any way, I will update the doc.

@vicroms Can you please take a look?

Thanks.

[daschuer]

It does not fail on my machine because I have no access to a osx device. It fails during a the GitHub workflow.

I have the suspicion that it relates to you other overlays since you cannot confirm it locally.
It fails when building /Users/runner/mixxx-vcpkg/overlay/osx/portmidi a osx enabled version.
See the [portmidi] commits here: https://github.com/mixxxdj/vcpkg/pull/18/commits
Can you spot an issue?
Do you have an idea to debug it?

What does "requires:repro" mean?
Is anything missing?

[JackBoosY]

@daschuer We couldn't reproduce this issue locally.

I can confirm that the issue is solved now.
