normalize-path: element within the input path is not a directory or does not exist #175

Closed maluta closed 4 years ago

maluta commented 4 years ago

I'm trying run news apps on a EC2 instance.

Everything goes OK but run-news fails to run. 

$ ./run-news 
initializing arc.. (may take a minute)
normalize-path: element within the input path is not a directory or does not exist
  element: /opt/anarki/apps/news/apps
  context...:
   /usr/share/racket/collects/racket/path.rkt:68:14: normalize
   [repeats 1 more time]
    app-start
   eval-one-top12
   /opt/anarki/ac.rkt:1427:0: aload1
   eval-one-top12

Although I can run successfully by changing the path, something like that: 

anarki/apps/news$ ../../arc.sh 
initializing arc.. (may take a minute)

To quit:
  arc> (quit)
  (or press ctrl and 'd' at once)
For help on say 'string':
  arc> (help string)
For a list of differences with arc 3.1:
  arc> (incompatibilities)
To run all automatic tests:
  $ ./arc.sh
  arc> (load "tests.arc")

If you have questions or get stuck, come to http://arclanguage.org/forum.
Arc 3.1 documentation: https://arclanguage.github.io/ref.
arc> (load "news.arc")
'()

arc> (nsv)

Someone can help me figure out how to fix that?

Thanks in advance.

Looking..

Thanks for the report! I can reproduce it on my laptop. So it has nothing to do with EC2.

I'll fix this in an hour or two. I haven't messed with this repo in a while, so I'm finding my way around again..

@maluta Could you git pull and try again? Hopefully you're unblocked.

@kennethrapp FYI I deleted some functionality here that seemed to have suffered bitrot. Like I said in the commit, I'd love if you could fix it. No hurry, please take your time :) It just wasn't obvious to me how you would have fixed the discrepancy between the path Arc needs (relative to the repo top-level) and the path that files are actually at (relative to the directory we ask people to run the news app from). Thank you!

Sorry... paths have been causing issues ever since someone decided to move news into its own directory. I thought I had it fixed by having file includes all use a canonical absolute path from the arc install but I guess not.

akkartik commented 4 years ago

:D I'd be totally fine with undoing that decision, if that's easier than the alternatives.

Thanks @akkartik for the quick reply and solution. It worked perfectly. Thanks!
