Getting error "Multiple Root documents"

[manojmsrit]

Below is the output for the "doorstop -v" command.

(base) MANOJs-MacBook-Air:doorstop manojdeshpande$ doorstop -v looking for documents in /Users/manojdeshpande... found document: SRD found document: SRD found document: HLTC.txt found document: HLTC found document: REQ found document: TUT found document: LLT found document: HLT found document: SRD found document: TST building tree... root of the tree: SRD root of the tree: SRD ERROR: multiple root documents

How to delete the documents and re create new one's

(base) MANOJs-MacBook-Air:doorstop manojdeshpande$ doorstop create MNQ --parent SRD . building tree... ERROR: multiple root documents

(base) MANOJs-MacBook-Air:doorstop manojdeshpande$ doorstop delete SRD building tree... ERROR: multiple root documents

It looks like you have some duplicate documents. Search your repository for all the instances of .doorstop.yml. For the multiple SRD roots, you'll find two .doorstop.yml files with

settings:
  digits: 3
  prefix: SRD
  sep: ''

Reconcile and keep only one folder.

It looks like HTLC.txt and HLTC may also be duplicates.

Maybe you made some errors entering doorstop create --parent PARENTDOC NEWDOC ./path/to/new/document commands? See the docs on creating child documents.

For me it happens when I create a virtual environment with python in the same root directory of the doorstop project. Moving the virtual environment directory upwards solves it. It's because doorstop is delivered with an example project.
