Can't Use Codekit to Install Google Web Starter Kit When Using Transmit Disk

[dustinhansen]

I'm mounting my remote share into OSX Finder via Transmit Disk. It works like a charm. The folder is 100% empty, even empty files. I try using Codekit to install Google's Web Starter Kit and I get the error:

CodeKit could not clone the Web Starter Kit Git repository to your project folder. Make sure the folder is ABSOLUTELY empty. (Even a hidden .DS_Store file will prevent the Git clone from working.) Try these steps to fix the problem:

1. Be sure you're connected to the Internet.
2. If you are running any blocking/security apps like Little Snitch or Antivirus software, disable those.
3. If you have installed Apple's Developer Tools, launch Xcode, accept the license terms and let the installation routine finish.

4. Make sure your network or firewall is not blocking the default port for git:// URLs, which is 9418. (Corporate networks do this frequently.) Use the "Tasks" menu to switch Git to use https:// URLs instead. 5.Delete the hidden ".cache" directory in your home folder.

Any advice? Codekit's been a part of my workflow for some time, but this could be an issue for us. Are there are least instructions out there for how to manually change the Web Starter Kit to be compatible with Codekit?

This sounds like a permissions problem on the folder. Make sure you’ve got full read/write access.

I thought so as well, but I have already chmod'd the mounted folder to 777. It hasn't seemed to make a difference?

Does the install proceed correctly when you target a local folder?

Yes, everything works fine when targeting a local folder.

Ok. First, do you see any messages logged in Console.app when you attempt to install? Secondly, can you install Foundation into the mounted folder?

I'm not seeing anything output to the System Log Queries in Console.app.

Installing Foundation results in the same behavior. The spinner with "Installing Foundation..." just stays displayed and the files/folders on the remote disk remain untouched. Codekit remains operational as it normally is but the install process just hangs.

Hi Dustin,

Okay. For now, the workaround is to install in a local folder, then drag the contents to your Transmit-mounted folder.

Okay. Thanks for the advice!
