Weird! That works for me. The underscore should be caught in app.js@103. If you move _TEMPLATE and _work-in-progress to their parent directory that should help, although I wonder what else will go wrong if this fails randomly…

What’s the path you’re running this from? What’s the OS/environment?

In the project path. Windows 8. It could possibly be \ vs /.

I managed to get it running further by editing app.js@103: if (metadataFilePath.indexOf('/') == -1 && metadataFilePath.indexOf('TEMPLATE') == -1) { Though it then fell over with denmark, so obviously the test for '/' is failing on windows as it is entering the _work-in-progress directory. I then deleted the _work-in-progress directory and it worked no problem.

This was probably fixed right here: https://github.com/codeforgermany/click_that_hood/commit/bba8b8df18979445a62837dd42ab31154cb3a8a9

If this issue resurfaces, please reopen.
