Init fails

[sirtimbly]

macOS - M1 Max
installed with pip
Python 3.9.12

lak --help returns help correctly.

lak init fails after a couple of seconds... printing Aborted! and attempting to open a editor to editor-{RANDOM}.txt

I'm not a python developer but I have to run a few other python CLI tools from time to time.

Thanks for reporting this. I'll try to replicate this on macOS.

Background:
Internally, Lakshmi depends on click to edit files and most probably click is failing while launching the editor on macOS to create the portfolio file.

I wasn't able to reproduce this on macOS 12.3.1, Python version 3.10.4

Could you verify if click is working fine independently of lakshmi? I believe the following should fail as well on your system (in Terminal):

$ python  # or python3
>>> import click
>>> click.edit('Test')

My current hypothesis is that somehow click is trying to open an editor on your system that is not working. Could you try this on your terminal and paste the output here:

$ echo $EDITOR

Perhaps the following workaround might work for you:

# Check if your editor is working. vim or nano should be installed on your system:
$ nano   # or vim
# Quit nano

$ export EDITOR=nano
$ lak init   # This should open nano to setup your portfolio.

Any luck trying those suggestions?

My $EDITOR was set to `code` (vscode) I switched it to `vim` and it worked fine On April 30, 2022 at 11:10:33 AM, Sarvjeet Singh ***@***.***) wrote: I wasn't able to reproduce this on macOS 12.3.1, Python version 3.10.4 Could you verify if click is working fine independently of lakshmi?

Thanks for the update. I'm glad that it's working.

I hope you find Lakshmi useful. Closing this issue for now.
