Closed divyanayan closed 5 years ago

divyanayan commented 5 years ago

I was using pyminifier --destdir to send minfied files to a specific directory but it gives an error that specified file is not found . i used with the path given in the documentation as well still gives the same error .

pyminifier a.py --destdir=./minified

Error : FileNotFoundError: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: '--destdir=./minified'

The format of the command should be pyminifier --destdir=./minified a.py

pyminifier --destdir=./minified a.py Thanks varun for the reply ,but in this case i made a directory as say hello and hence command would be pyminifier --destdir=./hello a.py .i was expecting a file to be created in hello directory

According to the documentation, the --destdir option can be used only when handling multiple files. If you want to run it only for one file, you could try using pyminifier -o hello/a.py a.py
