.p5rc not created #23

Closed nlooije closed 7 years ago

nlooije commented 7 years ago

While trying out the GUI i noticed none of my projects were loaded in the side menu. The console log showed: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '$PATH_TO_MYCOLLECTION.p5rc' On inspection no file .p5rc was found in the directory. I solved the problem by manually creating the file and adding the projects:

.p5rc example:

{
    "collectionName": "myp5js",
    "projects": [
        "project_1", 
        "project_2"
    ]
}

@nlooije Hi thanks for reporting. Are you running on Windows?

nlooije commented 7 years ago

Hi, yes W10. I now see that the same issue was closed yesterday. Should have spend more time searching. Sorry.

@nlooije Actually I'm not sure if its my package's problem or not. I haven't test it on a Windows machine yet. Make sure you are running p5 server in a collection directory (there should be a .p5rc )

nlooije commented 7 years ago

As it turns out i am just really bad at reading instructions, i have created a collection folder manually. If i run p5 new test_collection and create a new project p5 g test_project everything works as expected. Even on W10. My mistake.

@nlooije Okay!! （Maybe it's because of my poor English 🙇 ）Maybe you can help me improve the instruction 😃

nlooije commented 7 years ago

It is not your English, it is literally the first step of the installation, i am just bad at reading and following instruction :). Maybe to make it explicit you could add at the end of the Step 1 that with the new command a configuration file .p5rc is generated with a list of the projects used in the GUI.
