Dmitry Olshansky has graciously ported DMDScript (a Javascript engine written in D) to D2.

  https://github.com/DigitalMars/DMDScript

I have been trying to get it into dub, but have been stalled by the following when I attempt to register:

  Repository owner: DigitalMars
  Repository name: DMDScript


it says in red:

  Package names may not be empty. Check dub.json.


What does that mean? There is no "package name" field in the dub.json file.

"dependencies": {
        ":engine" : "*",
        ":ds" : "*",
        ":ds-ext": "*"
    },

I wasn't aware that not having the package name before a : would infer its own subpackage.

Looks like I was right, dub repo doesn't understand this rule.

Thanks, I added "dmdscript" before the : and it registered.

You should the full error, it says.

Branch ~test: Package names may not be empty. Check dub.json.

That's a new error, I fixed the original per Rikki's advice. I don't understand it, either. Shouldn't it be looking at master, not branch test?

Test branch: https://github.com/DigitalMars/DMDScript/blob/test/dub.json
Master branch: https://github.com/DigitalMars/DMDScript/blob/test/dub.json

Same issue, just hasn't been updated.

How do I get dub to stop looking at the test branch?

Dammit looks like I posted test branch link as both.

Dub shouldn't be looking for the branch unless its explicitly told to. The test branch is wrong for the dub files. Master is correct.
However if your git repo locally is on test branch then just change to master.

TLDR
$ git checkout master
And most likely want to merge changes for dub files back into test branch from master.

I've complained about this before. As far as I know it's not currently possible. I would rather tell dub myself which versions are available. Not making all tags available that match a pattern.
