I clicked on the makefile executable of version 2, and it deleted all the files from my documents folder

yes, my documents folder on my Mac is now completely empty. I might have tried installing incorrectly but why would it delete all my documents in my documents folder?

Hi @rideflag-minh-huynh ,

I'm sorry to hear that. This is the complete script in the Makefile:

XCODE_USER_TEMPLATES_DIR=~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates/File\ Templates
VIPER_TEMPLATES_DIR=VIPER\ Templates

install_templates:
	rm -R -f $(XCODE_USER_TEMPLATES_DIR)/$(VIPER_TEMPLATES_DIR)
	mkdir -p $(XCODE_USER_TEMPLATES_DIR)
	cp -R -f $(VIPER_TEMPLATES_DIR) $(XCODE_USER_TEMPLATES_DIR)

uninstall_templates:
	rm -R $(XCODE_USER_TEMPLATES_DIR)/$(VIPER_TEMPLATES_DIR)

Since the path for your documents should be something like: /Users/<your_username>/Documents, and this script only clears the data in: /Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates/File Templates/VIPER Templates I'm honestly not sure how would that even happen.

Have you tried editing the Makefile, or can you please provide us with some info on how you tried installing the template?

I got the template from a coworker. I never touched the makefile. other than clicking on it. it opened in my terminal and started to do its thing. everything is in that zip file I sent.

Hi @rideflag-minh-huynh ,

I'm sorry, but I don't see how what you are describing could have happened, unless XCODE_USER_TEMPLATES_DIR on your computer somehow links to user documents, which should never happen 😞
