asdf-dependency-grovel predates asdf 2, and probably bitrotted with asdf 3. My guess is that its dependency-op needs a prepare-dependency-op the same way that load-source-op has a prepare-load-source-op. The entire class hierarchy could probably be lifted the same way, except of course for the perform method.

Sorry I have no time to dig into the code. Hope this helps.

Hi, I'm interested in analyzing dependencies among a collection of Lisp files, or analyzing dependencies stated in a .asd file, or both.

(1) Towards the goal of analyzing dependencies among Lisp files, I'm trying to load asdf-dependency-grovel, and I'm not having any luck. I obtained a tar.gz of the current version from Gitlab, from the project https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/xcvb/asdf-dependency-grovel. I found it necessary to patch tests/run-tests.sh to get anywhere (patch below) and I get the following error at this point:

---

$ sh tests/run-tests.sh This is SBCL 2.1.6, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.

WARNING: redefining UIOP/UTILITY:PARSE-BODY in DEFUN WARNING: Deprecated recursive use of (ASDF/OPERATE:OPERATE 'ASDF/LISP-ACTION:LOAD-OP '("test-serial-system")) while visiting (ASDF-DEPENDENCY-GROVEL:DEPENDENCY-OP "test-serial" "asdf-dependency-grovel-test/serial")

• please use proper dependencies instead

debugger invoked on a SIMPLE-ERROR in thread #<THREAD "main thread" RUNNING {988AB081}>: Just performed compiling #<INSTRUMENTED-CL-SOURCE-FILE "test-serial-system" "package"> but failed to mark it done

---

Can anyone offer any advice about the "failed to mark it done" error? or the bit about "deprecated recursive use"?

(2) About looking at dependencies stated in a .asd file, I have a .asd file which ASDF is refusing to load because it has a circular dependency. Is there a way to get ASDF to tell me what that circular dependency is? Failing that, can someone suggest any tools to extract a directed graph from a .asd file? I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to do it myself but no need to reinvent the wheel.

I'm thinking I could find a graph analysis library to extract any cycles, if I had a directed graph in hand. I don't suppose someone has already automated looking for cycles in .asd files?

Thanks in advance for any advice, I appreciate your help.

best,

Robert Dodier

PS. Here's my patch for asdf-dependency-grovel.
