"can't create default.project.json" panic when exporting a place with no scripts about rbxlx-to-rojo

[Kampfkarren]

That's weird, can you record a video of you reproducing this?

[Jaguar-515]

Alright, will do.

[Jaguar-515]

Is an image ok? I don't want to reveal my real name for privacy reasons.

[Kampfkarren]

It's tough for me to help since I don't know what you're actually doing to select the folder. Can you screenshot what you're selecting before it crashes?

[Jaguar-515]

I am attempting to select this place.

I am attempting to select this folder.

[Kampfkarren]

If you create a src folder in the folder, does this still happen?

[Jaguar-515]

Yes.

[Kampfkarren]

That's super strange, it comes from this code:

rbxlx-to-rojo/src/filesystem.rs

Lines 99 to 108 in 11636ed

	fn finish_instructions(&mut self) {
	let mut file = File::create(self.root.join("default.project.json"))
	.expect("can't create default.project.json");
	file.write_all(
	&serde_json::to_string_pretty(&self.project)
	.expect("couldn't serialize project")
	.as_bytes(),
	)
	.expect("can't write project");
	}

self.root uses the same path as self.source so writing to there SHOULD error first--I suppose there isn't anything in the src directory either, though?

Also, I'm assuming the place file actually has scripts inside it?

[Jaguar-515]

The place file does not have any scripts inside it.

[Kampfkarren]

That might be why. It's still weird that happens since there's tests to make sure that empty places work, but can you check if it works with places with scripts for you? For the time being, rbxlx-to-rojo is only useful for places with scripts anyhow.

[Jaguar-515]

Alright, I'll do that.

[Jaguar-515]

It works with places with scripts.
Oddly, it doesn't work with places without scripts.

[Kampfkarren]

It's strange that this happens, but it's not a huge priority for me since you shouldn't be using this with places without scripts right now anyway.

If you're starting a place fresh, just learn how to setup Rojo on your own.

[Jaguar-515]

Alright.
I already know how to setup Rojo on my own.
