"Error: Connection got disposed." flood

I’ve encountered an issue with code-d with one specific package. As soon code-d is loaded it starts spamming “Request failed. Connection got disposed.”

serve-d v0.6.0 with workspace-d v3.5.0 Included features: “d”, “workspaces” Built: Sun May 3 02:09:22 2020 with bundled dub, dfmt, dscanner OS: Windows 10 x64

Steps to reproduce

mkdir codedissue
cd codedissue
dub init -n
dub add evael-ecs
dub build
code .

ah sorry just saw you posted the dub configuration, can diagnose it myself

I think I found my personal issue. Was almost about to post an issue about. I dont know about @Superbelko 's configuration but after a long time of confusion (I never fixed my issue until only today!), I coincidentally found out dub does not support the use of the autodetect targetType inside a configurations configuration.

I’m not sure why this leads to such weird errors. I’ve created a small example project with the issue, but it doesn’t always show the same errors. It’s currently stuck on “downloading” (even though there’s no dependencies… not sure why this happened this time). It sometimes (though not always) looks comparable to the error also shown in issue #389.

All in all, to me it seems like there’s some issues with detecting/printing issues with incorrect/problematic dub.json files. If possible I’d like to ask if this can be improved, though I have no clue if that is viable.

Sidenote: For some reason commandline dub does not complain about my incorrect dub.json file. (It actually uses the incorrect configuration, though, even though a main is included in the source, it decides to use the library targetType given the autodetect targetType. This is very weird to me, I’m not even sure if this is a bug in dub (or if I should report it).

Recreating: Simply add a configuration that uses the autodetect targetType as one of its configurations:

{
	"authors": [
		"Author"
	],
	"copyright": "Copyright © 2021, Author",
	"description": "Some Description.",
	"license": "proprietary",
	"name":"name",
	"configurations": [
		{
			"name": "name",
			"targetType": "autodetect"
		}
	]
}
