Can't start the app while following the README

[mbrydak]

While following through with the instructions stated in readme, seemingly gatsby-provision works fine (as stated below)

❯ yarn gatsby-provision
yarn run v1.22.17
$ gatsby-provision-contentful --contentful-data-path='./.contentful/landing-page-model-and-content.json'

    To set up this project you will need your Contentful Space ID
    and API access tokens. Please use an empty Contentful space for this.
    You can find all the needed information in your Contentful space under:
    app.contentful.com -> Space Settings -> API keys
    The Content Delivery API Token
      will be used to ship published production-ready content in your Gatsby app.
    The Content Management API Token
      will be used to import and write data to your space.

    Ready? Let's do it! 🎉

? Your Space ID XXXXXXXXXXXXX
? Your Content Delivery API access token XXXXXXXXXXXXX

The .env.development file looks like it's not properly created.

❯ cat .env.development 

# To enable previews locally, uncomment the next line:
# CONTENTFUL_HOST="preview.contentful.com"

You need to add to the .env.development the contentful space id and access token

[mbrydak]

Ok, thanks, what I understood from the output was, that expected behavior is for the script to fully create the .env.development file

@mbrydak you are correct, the expected behavior for running gatsby-provision in a local context is for an environment variable file to be created on your behalf from the values provided when prompted by the script.

Thanks for bringing to our attention. I'll look into the issue but you can unblock yourself in the meantime by doing what Kyle suggested and manually adding those values to your .env.development file.

[aghreed]

@mbrydak finally got around to this, and it looks like there was a pathing issue with where the .env.* files are created. Would you be able to confirm that those files were created a directory "up" from your project?

[augustweinbren]

@aghreed I had this same issue, and ended up needing to resolve it with the following command: cp node_modules/.env.development ./.env.development Leaving here for future users.

[aghreed]

Thanks for everyone's patience!

I've gone ahead and addressed this issue and issued PRs for all the repos that consume gatsby-provision-contentful — not just this one.

I'll be closing out the issue once https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-landing-page/pull/48 is merged.
