When running p5 serve I get an error saying it cannot open the file .p5rc This is with an untouched project generated by p5 manager. Not sure what I'm meant to do?

Windows 10 Here's the full error info:

Hi, @Smilebags Sorry I'm not familiar with Windows system. But have you tried rename the \Web Study\ folder to something like \Web_Study\?? I think the space in the directory name caused the issue (?) Please let me know if you fix it 🙇

Hi @chiunhau , I have tried the same thing in a directory with no spaces in the path and it still doesn't work.

One thought I had: Is the file meant to exist? If I browse there, there is no file called .p5rc - that seems to be what is triggering the error.

@Smilebags yes normally there should be a .p5rc file in the collection directory you just create with p5 new. I am gueessing if you run p5 serve in the wrong directory? (you should not run p5 serve in a project directory)

I see, I misunderstood the package and how it works - I had the idea that a project could be independent of a collection. I'll follow the instructions next time! Sorry about that.

@Smilebags p5 server is only for collection. But you can also use p5 generate --bundle PROJECT_NAME to create a bundled p5js project anywhere.
