catering for https or different future version of REST Management api should be catered for.

Feature request.

A feature of npm is that no matter where you run it, it always climbs the directory tree and finds the first package.json. Then it runs as though that directory is the current working directory. This works great and means you can run commands with deterministic certainty no matter what directory you run from.

For example, if you try the command npm run anywhere, it will find the package.json and list the commands available. The commands will run from that directory. This means you don't have cd back up to the top level, run your command and cd - to get back where you are. mlproj show should give the status no matter where you are.

I followed the instructions to install from the EXPath Console readme: sudo npm install mlproj -g, and several errors occurred:

sudo npm install mlproj -g
node-pre-gyp WARN Pre-built binaries not installable for [email protected] and [email protected] (node-v67 ABI, unknown) (falling back to source compile with node-gyp) 
node-pre-gyp WARN Hit error EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/Users/willthompson/.nvm/versions/node/v11.1.0/lib/node_modules/mlproj/node_modules/fsevents/lib/binding/Release/node-v67-darwin-x64' 
gyp ERR! clean error 
gyp ERR! stack Error: EACCES: permission denied, rmdir 'build'
...

I'm on a Mac running macOS 10.13, and my npm --version => 6.4.1. I was only able to get it to install after finding an issue for similar problem on a different package, and used this command:

sudo npm i -g mlproj --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root

EditorConfig is a plugin supported by many editors that configures an editor for a specific project's settings. Example

could provide an override .mlproj in users home di which overrides things like marklogic connection details.

A CONTRIBUTING.md file lets contributors know what you expect of them. Example

OS: Windows 10
MLversion : 8.0-5.4

Getting an error message when I run:

mlproj -e prod setup

Error: File path does not have any slash: d:\Workspace\GitHub\mlsamples\abc\abc\xproject\mlenvs\prod.json

Windows pathing issue? prod.json looks like this:

{
    "mlproj": {
        "format": "0.1",
        "import": "base.json",
        "connect": {
            "host": "prod.server",
            "user": "admin"
        },
        "databases": [{
            "id": "modules",
            "name": "@{code}-modules"
        }],
        "servers": [{
            "id": "app",
            "modules": {
                "idref": "modules"
            },
            "root": "/"
        }]
    }
}

After upgrading Node to version 12.4.0, it gives me the following message when I execute mlproj:

$ mlproj deploy

This ticket is mostly to keep track of the issue and attach some info. This is not an mlproj bug.

Just installed mlproj on Windows. Running mlproj says:

Error: No such file or directory: C:\Users\fgeorges\.mlproj.json

This file is optional.

When I saw this is a "project manager" I envisioned Microsoft Project. After looking at the Introduction and Getting Started, I don't think that's what this is. But while there's a lot of explanation of "how" to use it, I don't clearly understand "why" I would use it or "what" it is.

In this sentence, what is a "MarkLogic project"? "mlproj let you manage, deploy and configure MarkLogic projects"
