csantanapr opened a new issue #2351: document how to add swift dependencies via Package.swift
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/issues/2351
 
 
   We document how to compile swift and create a zip action using the swift docker container.
   https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/blob/master/docs/actions.md#packaging-an-action-as-a-swift-executable
   
   The steps are missing how an user would add a dependency by using Package.swift
   
   This is one way I got it to work
   I tried this today and the steps missing are:
   Before running `/swift3Action/spm-build/swiftbuildandlink.sh`
   
   Delete the file `swiftbuildandlink.sh`
    `rm /swift3Action/spm-build/swiftbuildandlink.sh`
   
   Delete the build folder `spm-build/.build/`
   `rm -rf /swift3Action/spm-build/.build/`
   Edit for example using vim, or replacing the file `spm-build/Package.swift`
   `cp -f /owexec/Package.swift /swift3Action/spm-build/Package.swift`
   For example I tried adding a package used in swift.org examples `https://github.com/apple/example-package-deckofplayingcards.git`
   
   ```
   import PackageDescription
   
   let package = Package(
       name: "Action",
           dependencies: [
               .Package(url: "https://github.com/IBM-Swift/Kitura-net.git", "1.0.1"),
               .Package(url: "https://github.com/IBM-Swift/SwiftyJSON.git", "14.2.0"),
               .Package(url: "https://github.com/IBM-Swift/swift-watson-sdk.git", "0.4.1"),
               .Package(url: "https://github.com/apple/example-package-deckofplayingcards.git", majorVersion: 3)
           ]
   )
   
   ```
   Make sure at minimum you include `Kitura-net.git` and `SwiftyJSON.git`
   
   Recreate `swiftbuildandlink.sh`
   `python /swift3Action/buildandrecord.py`
   
   Then continue with current docs
   ```
   /swift3Action/spm-build/swiftbuildandlink.sh
   cd /swift3Action/spm-build
   zip /owexec/hello.zip .build/release/Action
   exit
   ```
