Error adding target dependencies with Swift Package Manager

When trying to include a target dependency I get the error: The manifest describes a target that cannot be found in your source tree: parser

Here is my Package.swift file:

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    name: "Phoenix",
          targets: [
            Target(
                name: "Phoenix",
                dependencies: [.Target(name: "parser")]),
            Target(
                name: "parser")
    ]
)

I am following the format described here: https://github.com/apple/swift-package-manager/blob/master/Documentation/Package.swift.md

While you're both right, my actual problem was that my subdirectory didn't contain any swift code so a module wasn't being generated

The Swift Package Manager documentation you link to states The targets are named how your subdirectories are named. If the target parser cannot be found, presumably you do not have a subdirectory named parser located in the directory where your Package.swift file is located.

You should clarify your directory structure so that it can be compared to your Package.swift contents.

Edit

Max has provided a good example. Note that the 'Sources' dir could also be 'Source', 'src' or 'srcs'

Do you have a parser directory?

You should have a layout something like:

     .
     └── Sources
         └── Phoenix
         │   └── File1.swift
         └── parser
             └── File2.swift

Or:

     .
     └── Phoenix
     │   └── File1.swift
     └── parser
         └── File2.swift

This instructs SwiftPM to create two modules, one called Phoenix and one called "parser".
