github submodules don't exist in zips :(

[scottwyden]

On a fresh instance on GoDaddy's new "Pro" Managed Host (test server) I get the following upon trying to activate:

Warning: require_once(/home/content/p3pnexwpnas07_data03/82/2695782/html/wp-content/plugins/WDS-Simple-Page-Builder//inc/cmb2/init.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas07_data03/82/2695782/html/wp-content/plugins/WDS-Simple-Page-Builder/wds-simple-page-builder.php on line 37

Hey @scottwyden
Did you clone the repo or did you download the zip file? If you cloned, you might not be getting the cmb2 submodule.

[scottwyden]

I downloaded it from here, not a clone.

[jazzsequence]

do you have a inc/cmb2 folder?

[jtsternberg]

Instead of downloading (github doesn't include submodules when downloading), you should recursively clone this repo (git clone --recursive https://github.com/WebDevStudios/WDS-Simple-Page-Builder.git)

[jazzsequence]

@jtsternberg really? it doesn't? I thought it did. :/

[jazzsequence]

...that could be why it hasn't been picked up by the WP.org repo yet :'(

[scottwyden]

inc/cmb2 folder does exist, but nothing is inside of it.

[jazzsequence]

@scottwyden @jtsternberg is right. I just downloaded the archive and /inc/cmb2 is empty. You're missing a crucial component of the plugin because GitHub isn't including the submodule in the zip files. I'll need to manage the CMB2 stuff manually and not use a submodule.

[jazzsequence]

@scottwyden try redownloading now

[jtsternberg]

@jazzsequence for WDS Twitter Widget, I use a grunt task to compile a .zip file to be used in the repo (and still use submodules). https://github.com/WebDevStudios/WDS-Twitter-Widget

Unfortunately I'm still getting an error.
