Symlink 'global' fails silently on Mac #7

Closed tb-b closed 2 years ago

tb-b commented 2 years ago

This only affects symlink: 'global' - possibly only on Mac

Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions needs admin password on Mac by default, so running yarn build silently fails during symlink creation (shows "symlink already exists → succeeded").

sudo yarn build works, but then it creates dist/cep and zxp folders with root owner, therefore rimraf throws error if run next time without sudo

Quick workaround is to create that symlink manually via ln -s and all subsequent runs will pick it up as already existing

Thanks for finding this, fixed in the latest 0.1.9.

Since Mac does require admin permissions with global, after running yarn build, run sudo yarn symlink to create the global symlink.
