reco init error

[steven-cheng]

I'm using the version 2.1.0

When using the 'reco init' to initialise the project, there are error messages both in the middle and at the end:

....... ---------reco start to build cordova-app---------

[Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir 'templates\empty'] { errno: -2, code: 'ENOENT', syscall: 'scandir', path: 'templates\\empty' } Creating a new cordova project. ......... run 'cd myapp' (node:43210) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'package.json' (node:43210) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection. This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). To terminate the node process on unhandled promise rejection, use the CLI flag --unhandled-rejections=strict (see https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html#cli_unhandled_rejections_mode). (rejection id: 1) (node:43210) [DEP0018] DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.

I run this on a Mac. And I notice that no this kind of problem occurs when I run it on Windows instead.

@arkwld @arkadilu can you check it in your mac?

[JaLe29]

Same for me.

I am getting an error Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, open './test/README.md' after reco init com.example.test "test"

[orchuban]

Same for me.

@JaLe29

What is your system?
How do you run the script? terminal?

[JaLe29]

My system: windows 10, 64b., node: v12.16.0,

starting commands are same from doc (just with test instead of hello..):

npm install -g react.cordova
reco init com.example.test "test"

[orchuban]

@JaLe29 This package uses node.js for copying and editing files in a project. Your computer is blocking permissions. Search Google for "nodejs operation not permitted". Try something like this

Place share your solution insights here after that.

I've tried to start another project on my Mac now. But after about 3 months, the issue is still existed and the same.

Please try npm i -g react.cordova@2.2.2 and let me know if it's work good now.

I dedicate a considerable amount of my time to developing and maintaining this Cli, along with my other Open Source software. If you regularly use this CLI then please do not hesitate to donate, for quick support for your problems. Help me to support the CLI.

@steven-cheng

Please try npm i -g react.cordova@2.2.2 and let me know if it's work good now.

[steven-cheng]

Nope, there is still some error as follows, after upgraded to 2.2.2 :

............

---------reco start to build cordova-app---------

[Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir 'templates\empty'] { errno: -2, code: 'ENOENT', syscall: 'scandir', path: 'templates\empty' } [Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir ''] { errno: -2, code: 'ENOENT', syscall: 'scandir', path: '' } Creating a new cordova project.

I think the fix for this is to run the command as an administrator, if you're on windows then run cmd as an admin, then for Ubuntu prefix your command with "sudo" Let me know if this helps anyone...

[steven-cheng]

Nope, still the same after I use "sudo" in my mac to elevate the rights.

[orchuban]

@steven-cheng , You need to change to administrator user before you use the cli commands. @arkwld , Please explain to Steven-cheng how to move the terminal to an administrator user in Mac.

[orchuban]

@JaLe29 Was your install command npm i -g react.cordova ? If not, uninstall and remove to cli files and install again with sudo npm -g react.cordova

Is this the right command?

sudo reco init com.example.hello "hello world"
