Error while creating new project about caccl HOT 8 CLOSED

Perhaps not super helpful, but a good place to start: what are the permissions for the folder you're working in? Perhaps this issue has to do with the current user not being able to create folders?

I'd try checking the folder permissions and also maybe try running the command with sudo.

Hi, thanks for the quick reply.
I tried the command with sudo but I got this:

$ sudo npm init caccl
bash: sudo: command not found

After some googling, I ran VSCode as administrator and tried again but with the same result

PS: I forgot to add the first lines of the error: The syntax of the command is incorrect.
I updated my original post.

I figured it out!
While examining the stack trace, I found these lines of code in create-caccl/lib/index.js:

198    exec('mkdir server');
199    exec('cd server && npm init -y');
200 -> exec('mkdir server/src');
201    exec('cd server && npm i --save-dev cross-env nodemon @types/express @types/express-session');

When I change line 200 to:

198    exec('mkdir server');
199    exec('cd server && npm init -y');
200 -> exec('cd server && mkdir src');
201    exec('cd server && npm i --save-dev cross-env nodemon @types/express @types/express-session');

... it worked and the command finished succesfully!

mkdir --parents server/src (or mkdir -p server/src) would probably work too.

EDIT:
This also gives an error:

The syntax of the command is incorrect.
...
Error: Command failed: mkdir -p server/src

Just realized I posted this in the wrong repo 😨

@renaatdemuynck thank you for submitting the PR! I appreciate your work on this :)

I've merged and re-published the create-caccl project (now v2.1.0) so you can use the npm init caccl command in the future. Sometimes, due to caching, you might still get an older version. If you're getting an older version, you could try clear your npm cache or use npm init caccl@latest.

Take care! Thank you again.
