Error: multiple root documents

[EzraIsReal]

Hi I've been trying to figure doorstop out for the past couple of days, but the documentation doesn't cover the problems I've encountered, so I just need help figuring this issue out: it seems that I cannot execute any commands because of multiple root documents, how do I go about fixing that?

When running $ doorstop create <prefix> the second time, it needs to be passed the --parent <prefix> option to link the two documents.

You can also manually add parent: <prefix> to one of the .doorstop.yml files.

Can you share the out of running $ doorstop -v?

I am facing same problem @jacebrowning. For me, it happens when I tried adding more requirements after a couple of days and it just starts throwing "multiple root documents".

Resolved: Ran "mvn clean" command and was able to create reqs/tests.

What is mvn?

I'm not sure how to help without more information. What was the output of $ doorstop -v?

[nikhilsharma5]

@jacebrowning this issue was resolved after running mvn clean. Thank you for quick reply tho 👍
mvn is maven command. I have my doorstop files inside my maven project.

Good to know.
