Running ibtool --compile from the command line, ibtool is saying my input file does not exist,

yet it clearly does.

Seems to be erratic. Anyone see this before?

ls -l GridVC.xib

-rwxr-xr-x 1 bk staff 2082 Jan 21 14:29 GridVC.xib ###### file exists!

bk:~ bk$ ibtool --compile GridVC.nib GridVC.xib

results from ibtool:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-/

<dict>

<key>com.apple.ibtool.errors</key>

<array>

<dict>

<key>description</key>

<string>Interface Builder could not open the document GridVC.xib" because it does not exist.</string>

</dict>

</array>

</dict>

</plist>

oh if anyone runs into this, i found a stackoverflow post that suggests to kill the ibtool daemon called ibtoold

ps -aef | grep ibtoold

then get the process number (2nd column of above output) and use kill -9 on it (not ordinary kill, that doesnt seem to work)

it seems to work

it seems like you have to do this every time after a regular xcode build in xcode 6.2

or ibtool from command line can't find files in the current working directory
