arcgis/cli styles tool issue

Anonymous User — Wed, 26 May 2021 20:06:26 GMT

I installed @arcgis/cli using 'npm install -g @arcgis/cli' on my Windows machine. When I create a new directory, cd into it, and then try to run the 'styles create' command, this is the error it produces:

C:\Users\cfb215.STATE\Desktop\testStyles>arcgis styles create newStyle copying base copying examples copying preview file arcgis styles create [theme] Create a custom theme Positionals: theme the name of the theme to create [string] [default: "my-custom-theme"] Options: --version Show version number [boolean] -e, --with-examples when specified, the created theme will include examples from the API [boolean] -b, --with-base when specified, the created theme will include base files for local overrides (advanced) [boolean] -f, --force overwrites a theme if it already exists [boolean] -h, --help Show help [boolean] NestedError: Cannot copy `preview/`: the file doesn't exist at C:\Users\cfb215.STATE\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\@arcgis\cli\node_modules\cpy\index.js:96:10 at runMicrotasks (<anonymous>) at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:93:5) { nested: undefined, name: 'CpyError' }

Is this a know or common issue? It looks like the file does exist but for some reason isn't able to be copied to the new

Okay, I just tried without the capital 'S' in the name, all lowercase and it appears to have worked. If that is documented, I missed it.

This is odd. Windows I assume? The command definition isn't camelcase https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-js-cli/blob/master/src/commands/styles.ts#L4 So i'm not sure why that would happen. I don't use Windows often, but will still take a look. Thanks!

Yes, this is on a Windows 10 box. Thanks for checking in.

Using lowercase is not a big deal, but was confusing! I was able to successfully output a main.css file. However the styles tool still does not like to preview the theme (cannot GET error in Chrome), and if I eject the theme is remains in the directory but can not be ejected again. Let me know if you want any more detail or error messages. Thanks
