Describe the bug

When building my project, that uses the wrap file from cpp-httplib as subproject, it fails while configuring that subproject.

Error trace:

TypeError: 'NoneType' object does not support item assignment

subprojects\cpp-httplib-0.15.3\meson.build:24:16: ERROR: Unhandled python exception

    This is a Meson bug and should be reported!

To Reproduce

Just use the wrap-file for cpp-httplib from the wrapDB. Try to setup a project with it a subproject or use it as standalone target (meson setup builddir/ -Dwraps=cpp-httplib)

Expected behavior
It works as before the 1.5.0 version.
The last tested working version was 1.4.2 (which is strange)

All other compilers and OSes seem to work, see e.g. these CI runs.
I tested it on MacOS, Linux Clang + Linux GCC , Windows Msys2 Mingw64 and UCRT64.

system parameters

  • Native build
  • OS: Windows 10
  • python: 3.11.2
  • meson: 1.5.0
  • MSVC: VS 17.10.4
