the web template doesnt work on windows

[bazo]

hi

i followed the instructions to create a new app from template

in D:\www\ lein new gizmo-web gizmo cd gizmo lein run --config config/development.clj

and i get an error Exception in thread "main" java.nio.file.InvalidPathException: Illegal char <:>

another question i have is why doesn't lein run just work, why do i need to specify the config file?

You have to specify a config file because Gizmo is built with a thought about production usage. We encourage people to have configuration from the first steps, otherwise hardcoded things are way too difficult to get out of the way.

Could you paste a full stacktrace? Unfortunately I can't yield any information from that message you've posted.

Looks like Enlive doesn't like the way path is given. But no, doesn't ring my bells. Unfortunately, I don't have Windows machine to try it out.

[JeffAtAtl]

I had the same problems

I solved the Exception problem by making this change:

In line 22 of cli-entrypoint.clj

;;(register-snippet-reload "my-gizmo-web2")

Also I was able to run with "lein run" by making this change:

In line 17 of cli-entrypoint.clj

(load-config! (or (:config options) "config/development.clj")))

@JeffAtAtl this is most likely a problem with Enlive. Could you please try reproducing it without Gizmo?
