Documentation needed

[lobneroO]

The documentation is a bit lacking, it's hard to use the plugin.

E.g. what is the difference between Automaton Create and Automaton Init? Why does create -> enter name "xyz" give a prompt of "xyz/home/user"?

I tried to initialize a workspace in one of my rust projects and it didn't give an error, but I don't see the .json files. Do I have to manually create them? What did init do then?

There is some basic documentation here: https://github.com/Dax89/automaton.nvim/wiki

• Automaton Create: It's like "New Project", you need to insert a name and select a folder where the project will be created.
• Automaton Init: Creates a workspace in neovim's current directory (workspaces are detected by the presence of .automaton folder), it's useful for create an automaton workspace for an existing project.

Here you can find some informations about a workspace: https://github.com/Dax89/automaton.nvim/wiki/Workspace

Ah, that latter link was what I was looking for, thank you. I'll see if this already sufficient. I think it would be beneficial to link to that page in this repositories readme

I have checked the source code, Automaton init creates a workspace in the folder that belongs to the currently open file.

So if you have:

foo/
  bar/
    main.rs

And you have main.rs open, the result is:

foo/
  bar/
    .automaton/ <==== this is where all workspace data is stored
    main.rs
