Output directory #16

Closed 4eh5xitv6787h645ebv closed 1 year ago

Output directory is being put in so not sure why its saying it's not there. Is probably just me getting it wrong. .env file:

'OUTPUT_DIRECTORY': {
    type: String,
    required: true,
    default: '/home/jake/Documents',
},

Is giving this error. : 0|youtube-dl-react-viewer | Error: Required environment variable "OUTPUT_DIRECTORY" not specified. 0|youtube-dl-react-viewer | at parse (file:///home/jake/Documents/Youtube%20Channels/a/youtube-dl-react-viewer/youtube-dl-express-backend/parse-env.js:87:27) 0|youtube-dl-react-viewer | at file:///home/jake/Documents/Youtube%20Channels/a/youtube-dl-react-viewer/youtube-dl-express-backend/parse-env.js:143:16 0|youtube-dl-react-viewer | at ModuleJob.run (internal/modules/esm/module_job.js:152:23) 0|youtube-dl-react-viewer | at async Loader.import (internal/modules/esm/loader.js:166:24)

Change that part of the .env to this:

OUTPUT_DIRECTORY=/home/jake/Documents

An example env file is in the backend folder, called .env.sample. You might need to enable hidden files to see it if you're using Mac/Linux
