Error running init command { [Error: EISDIR... } #10

After creating the API keys, downloading the JSON, running gaps init, and visiting the one-time authorization page, I pasted in the ?code= parameter, as the README instructs. But I was given the following error:

Error running init command { [Error: EISDIR, open '/Users/dsernst/.gaps'] errno: 28, code: 'EISDIR', path: '/Users/dsernst/.gaps' }

It turns out we were thinking along similar lines: these config files belong in a place like .gaps in the Home Directory. The problem was I had assumed this .json file was going to be needed for the long-term, so I had already manually created my own ~/.gaps folder and stuck it in there.

I was able to get past this error by moving the .json file out of that folder, deleting the folder, and then re-running gaps init. There might be an opportunity there for more clear error handing, if this issue continues to come up for other users. :smile:

I totally agree, the file storage is quite obfuscated right now. Thanks for your thorough description of the problem!

Addressed in v1.0. Thanks!
