public enum Input: Codable, Hashable, Sendable

Describes an input that affects a foreign build dependency's output.

Inputs serve two purposes:

• Build phase input file list: file, folder, and glob inputs are passed as input paths to the Xcode build phase so that Xcode can skip re-running the script when inputs haven't changed.
• Content hashing: all inputs (including scripts) are used to compute a content hash for Tuist's binary caching and selective testing, so that the foreign build step can be skipped when inputs are unchanged.

Cases

file(_:)

case file(Path)

A single file whose contents affect the build output.

folder(_:)

case folder(Path)

A folder whose contents (recursively) affect the build output.

glob(_:)

case glob(Path)

A glob pattern that resolves to files whose contents affect the build output.

script(_:)

case script(String)

A shell script whose stdout produces a cache key component (e.g. "git rev-parse HEAD").

Script inputs only contribute to the content hash and are not included in the build phase input file list.
