What do you mean by running from core? As in the shutit directory itself? I do this all the time if I want to play with the shutit library.

ianmiell commented 10 years ago

Hmmm, well I've "fixed" this ;/ I observed George doing this during the screencast and it fair confused him.

ianmiell commented 10 years ago

Maybe better to make "build" compulsory, else output usage?

aidanhs commented 10 years ago

What exactly confused him? That it said it didn't know how to find any modules? So he ran './shutit' and it gave the opaque error message rather than help? Yes, that's subideal.

Unfortunately, making build optional is a hack for backwards compatibility. Maybe we could detect if you're using the ./shutit symlink and (if so) use the compatibility breaking behaviour.

Nah, just break back-compatibility. I'll update shutit modules if necessary.
