Unable to create symlink #4

Closed mike-morr closed 7 years ago

mike-morr commented 7 years ago

Steps to reproduce and a minimal demo of the problem

Follow instructions from (https://jlooper.github.io/angular-starter/#prerequisites)

Current behavior

npm install fails with:

npm WARN angular-seed-advanced@0.0.0 No license field.
Configuring...
**A symlink already exists.**
------------------------ Angular Seed Advanced is Now Ready ----------------------------

Run your web app with:
  npm start

Run your Mobile app via NativeScript with:
  iOS:     npm run start.ios
  Android: npm run start.android

Run your Desktop app via Electron with:
  Mac:     npm run start.desktop
  Windows: npm run start.desktop.windows

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

**We were unable to create a symlink**  - from -
   /Users/mike/Code/sp-surfer/src/client/app     - to - 
   /Users/mike/Code/sp-surfer/nativescript/src/app
If you don't create this symlink, you will have to manually copy the code each time you change it.

After this, running npm run ios.start crashes and burns. Should one of the directories above be empty?

Expected/desired behavior

No errors.

Other information

macOS Sierra 10.12.3

hi, I'm sorry for the late response. You can manually delete the symlinks (app and assets) and rebuild the project... in theory! Let me know if that works!
