What happened?

When clicking on the "Create Dataverse TS Project" context menu button on a folder, the terminal shows a "No gulpfile found" error.

Some project files are generated, but it seems like the process stops half way through.

The previous npm install command ends successfully.

I've tried installing gulp and adding a gulpfile.js on the project root folder, but it seems like what is missing is the gulp file in the typescript package.

Any ideas of what can be causing this?

P.S.: Excellent tool! Thanks for creating it!

What version of the tool are you using?

1.1.0

What version of Visual Studio Code are you running?

1.61.2

Ahh I think I know the issue. In the initial version I didnt had TypeScript in package.json and was assuming everyone will have it installed globally hence I needed link command to link it. In this release I removed that assumption and added it local to the project. So no need of that link command. I will update the tool but in meantime you can run npm install and you should be good.

Thanks for raising the issue. Will get the fix out pretty soon.

Fix is now available in 1.1.2 version. Also, improved the load time of the tool by 80% 🙌
