error when running pushkin prep

[chiara-gambi]

Hi there,

I am going through the pushkin quickstart and ran into the error below when using the pushikin prep command. Any ideas? I am running on Terminal on a mac and went through the installation guide with no errors.

Many thanks in advance!

Chiara

Hello,

On Macs, there is a hidden file type called .DS_Store that appears when files are moved around using finder - unfortunately, when a .DS_Store file pops up in the wrong place it can cause issues.

I would first try removing any .DS_Store files you can find in your pushkin site repository, then try running pushkin prep again. To see the .DS_Store files in finder, you will have to set it to show hidden files - the keyboard shortcut for this is command + shift + .
If this fails, there's a chance you may need to start a new pushkin site as the .DS_Store file may have contaminated some complicated build files. Ideally, you will want to try again sticking to the command line or your code editor when moving or adding files places.

Hope this helps!

PS I would recommend not deleting .DS_Store from your finder, since it is using your finder that tends to create those files. From you site root directory in terminal, type

$ ls

The output should look like:

LICENSE README.md pushkin users

If it doesn't, you are in the project root directory. Once you are there, type

$ rm -rf pushkin/experiments/.DS_Store

I had the same problem but what ended up working for me was using $ rm -rf experiments/.DS_Store.

@chiara-gambi Sorry about that. Those .DS_Store's are the bane of any programmer's existence. I think I can write a work-around to prevent that from happening in the future. I'll put that on our todos.

[chiara-gambi]

Many thanks to both! I ended up deleting the directory and starting over again. The .DS_Store file was not visible in Finder even when I set it to show hidden files. It appears to have been created when I viewed the directory structure in Finder (i.e., even if I created the directory from the terminal and made no changes to it in Finder). Anyway, ditching Finder from now on!
