Spritebot Not Generating SVG Spite Sheet

[rwyatt86]

Hey,

I am trying to use this tool, which from tutorials looks amazing, but after loading my SVGs and then clicking on the "Save Sprite Sheet" button nothing happens. I was hoping you could help me figure out why that may be.

Sorry you're running into problems.

• Can you send me the SVGs that you're trying to turn into a sprite sheet? (I'd like to look and see if there's a specific bug that they're running into.)
• Are you using Windows or Mac?

I am using a Mac. Attached is a zipped file of the SVGs. I'm exporting them from Sketch and I am wondering if that is the issue. I also have a Sketch plugin that optimizes the SVGs upon exporting. That may be causing the problem as well.

Also thanks for the help on this. I really appreciate it.

I can completely recreate the problem. When I drag all the icons and press the save button, the dialogue opens, but then it doesn't create the actual file.

I'll look into it and get back to you.

Try this version out and tell me how it works for you:

Spritebot wasn't properly handling situations where there were <use> statements inside the symbols themselves.

Would there be any way you could email me that version? Or is the file too large? I'm setting behind some secure proxy settings. My email is russell.wyatt@capitalone.com

It's definitely too large; would putting it in Dropbox work?

I went ahead and published the new version. I'm confident it should fix the problem for you.

Let me know if you run into any other problems.

My apologies for just getting back to you. It worked wonderfully. Took me a bit to get it on my machine because I had to do a work around the proxy to download, but once I did everything went off like a charm. I really appreciate the speedy turnaround.
