Research direction

Look for the Install Pods command implementation, likely in a file handling CocoaPods version checking. Identify the nested try-catch blocks. The inner catch should only wrap and rethrow the error, removing its own logging/notification. Add a test to ensure the error is shown only once. Check existing test files for similar error handling tests.

Description

enhancement

Description

When the Install Pods command fails while checking the CocoaPods version, the error is displayed twice.

The inner catch block logs and displays the error, then rethrows it to the outer catch, which logs and displays it again.

Expected behavior

The inner catch should add context and rethrow the error. Error logging and user notification should be handled once by the outer catch.

Proposed fix
  • Remove logging and notification from the inner catch.
  • Preserve the original error details when rethrowing.
  • Add a regression test verifying that the error is displayed only once.
