I am interested in this testing framework and I wanted to try it out. However, i ran into several issues while performing the steps from 'quick start'

First two issues were related to use of 'kind' and 'helm' where it reported "cannot execute binary file" . This I resolved by using helm/kind already installed on my computer

After that i hit the following error:

2020-09-18 21:21:36 info: Platform created
2020-09-18 21:21:36 info: Installing dependencies and nodes...
2020-09-18 21:21:37 info: Error: repository name (w3f) already exists, please specify a different name

2020-09-18 21:21:37 info: ERROR: Command execution failed with code: 1
2020-09-18 21:21:37 error: code: 1

I did some digging around but i could not figure how to resolve this nor where the message comes from.

Any advice ?

hi @enthusiastmartin thanks for your interest in the project! <3

I haven't seen before the errors you mention, which operating system are you using? We have developed on Linux and the project is meant to run on this platform. If you are not on Linux probably the Helm and Kind binaries that the project uses won't work for you, and this can cause the first error "cannot execute binary file". The second error seems related to the Helm version installed system-wide.

I actually thought that it could be OS issue - i just tried to run it locally on macos.

I will try on a linux machine then thanks.
