Error ENOENT after installing globally about mailbox

[colinsmith]

Ahhh, okay that makes a lot more sense! Thanks for clearing that up! 🎉

First of all: thanks for reporting an issue :)

Unfortunately, I couldn't reproduce the problem, unless I specified a layout which doesn't exist. This led to the following error message:

Is this the same message you got?

I discovered and fixed some problems with the readme file, mainly the wrong file extension for layouts (.json instead of the correct .mjml). Maybe this was related to your issue?

Thanks in advance for all information you can provide, so that I am able to understand the issue.

That is the error I received, yes.

My repro steps are:

1. Install globally with yarn global add @mvsde/mailbox
2. mkdir example && cd example in any working directory
3. mailbox create example
4. mailbox build example

Running the build command throws the following error:

/Users/colin/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/yargs/yargs.js:1148
      else throw err
           ^

From what I've been able to see, there are two things at play here.

The path is incorrect and the root .mjml file is not created with the same name as the project directory. The layout option is not passed to the generateTemplatePath() function, so it incorrectly attempts to build from /src/layouts/example.mjml instead of example/src/layouts/default.mjml

Let me know if you're able to reproduce the same thing! 👍 Thanks!

Edit: Forgot to mention my environment details (I see you are testing on Windows). I'm using:

• MacOS Sierra
• Node v10.4.0

Thank you for the steps! Now I know whats wrong: my documentation isn't clear enough :D

The command mailbox create example creates a new folder in the current working directory called example. The project is then placed within this new folder. If you want to place the project in the current directory, you can call mailbox create or mailbox create ..

And further on, I think the documentation isn't clear that you don't have to specify a layout for the commands dev, build and test.

I already overhauled the readme file. I hope this resolves any issues.

Thanks again for bringing this up :)
