Error: object 'github' not found

[moldach]

I was about to send a PR for the open = FALSE argument; things were going great for the first three functions but then something went horribly wrong on the fourth one 😭

Obviously, I thought it was a mistake I made in the code. I made sure to delete the local repo and install a-new, then I used lookup::lookup to make sure that I was in fact using code from lockedata/starters. Now all four functions won't work for me!

At first the error was:

Error: Error in 'git2r_remote_add': remote 'origin' already exists

A SO post suggested the following:

git remote -v show
origin  git@github.com:moldach/wellThisSucks.git (fetch)
origin  git@github.com:moldach/wellThisSucks.git (push)

git remote rm origin

I get a new error but not sure how to resolve.

New project 'brokeGIT2' is nested inside an existing project './', which is rarely a good idea.
Do you want to create anyway?

Thanks! I was not able to reproduce the bug. Can you try again but not nested inside a project? And I've updated the function a little bit to have the checkpoint stuff at the end, but to be safe and see whether it comes from checkpoint or not, please run createBasicProject("projectname", packagdeps = "none").

[maelle]

What I was able to do is to improve the code creating and resetting projects but it won't solve your problem. 🤔

[moldach]

Kind of wondering if this may be a .file issue now🤷‍♂️ I remember the "./" warning from my first issue. I'll look back into the closed issues to see what I did before to "fix" this; a few days prior when everything ran fine, I don't recall seeing the "creating a project in a project" warning.

Delete the .rproj/.git that might be at ./, now starters should no longer create those by mistake (I had some bad code for setting /resetting projects that caused this weird issue)

[moldach]

There was a .git folder (and .rproj) in ./ and I've deleted them. The other three functions work but I'm presented with a new error from createPackageProject() now:

It seems to be still trying to create those (.rproj and .git) in ./

[maelle]

Weird is this due to some restrictions on the file created? I.e no write rights?

[moldach]

Hmm strange thing, not sure what I did to fix it but I was doing some work on one of my git repos for a bit and returned to try this again and it magically worked all of a sudden.

I've just made my first PR for the open = FALSE argument

[maelle]

Good, I'll close this issue but of course feel free to open any new issue if you encounter a new problem! And thanks for the PR!
