Error creating new project

[012e]

I followed the instruction to install bud, and bud create app doesn't work

• OS: Arch linux
• go: version 1.18.2
• node: v14.19.2

This is due to trying to move/rename files across partitions. /tmp/bud-create- Seems to not exist in whichever partition bud is expecting it to be. I’ve not looked at the source code, so not sure what functionality is needed/should be changed (MoveFile(source, destination) might work, but I’m not sure). But this should give someone who’s more familiar a good jumping off point

Thanks for opening this issue and trying out Bud @012e!

As @syke99 mentioned, this is a known issue with partitions. We're already tracking it in #30, where I've written the planned next steps.

I'm going to close this issue as a duplicate of #30.

This is weird, I didn't put my /tmp in a different partition.

But I do have other un-formatted OS partitions with /tmp folder inside of it.

What bud create did to my /tmp folder:

Hmm, okay. It might be something different then, re-opening.

If you could try narrowing this down in the codebase, that'd be much appreciated. The create logic is in this package and I created a Contributing Guide today to help people get Bud installed locally. Happy to answer any questions that pop up.

Otherwise I'm still going to go with the plan in this comment and we'll try again once that's ready.

@matthewmueller I have just done a setup and tried to go run main.go create app
What happened:

Edit: It should be go run main.go create app (without the -C)

[matthewmueller]

Sweet! From your error it looks like the problem is coming from this code block:

bud/internal/command/create/create.go

Lines 55 to 70 in 7bcf01d

	if err := os.Rename(tmpDir, dir); err != nil {
	// Can't rename on top of an existing directory
	if !errors.Is(err, fs.ErrExist) {
	return err
	}
	// Move inner files over
	fis, err := os.ReadDir(tmpDir)
	if err != nil {
	return err
	}
	for _, fi := range fis {
	if err := os.Rename(filepath.Join(tmpDir, fi.Name()), filepath.Join(dir, fi.Name())); err != nil {
	return err
	}
	}
	}

Can you confirm?

[matthewmueller]

@012e Would you mind pulling down the branch in the following PR and testing if this fixes your problem? #50

[012e]

Still not working, but bud create app created an unfinished project in the same directory like the previous /tmp/bud-create-, probably something is wrong with npm's permissions

Do you need the log @matthewmueller?

[matthewmueller]

@012e Ah, this is a different error and actually only a problem in the development build, not the production build. We symlink the JS runtime so you can make changes in the local bud repo and see those changes in your example projects.

From within the unfinished project directory, please try running the following:

npm link livebud $DIR_WHERE_YOU_GIT_CLONED_BUD/livebud

This should fail in the same way. I guess because of lack of npm permissions. I guess you could fix this with sudo npm.

[012e]

Working perfectly @matthewmueller! BTW, my default website zoom is 120% (Firefox browser), and the cards are covering the footer

Closing this issue!

[matthewmueller]

@012e happy to hear! Did the sudo npm work for you?

Also created an issue on the welcome page: livebud/welcome#1

sudo npm link livebud $DIR_WHERE_YOU_GIT_CLONED_BUD/livebud

Update: I think this is the better solution
That's how I fixed the problem
