problem copying a folder?

[Ducasse]

I do not get it when I install pillar

pillar archetype microdown-nometa-presentation

barks telling me that FileDoesNotExistException: '/Users/ducasse/tests/pillar/build/archetypes/microdown-nometa-presentation/support'

Now if I do the following

cp -r /Users/ducasse/tests/pillar/build/archetypes/microdown-nometa-presentation/support
/Users/ducasse/tests/pillar/build/archetypes/microdown-nometa-presentation/_support

I can then build the presentation without any problem.

pillar build pdf index.md

Just works.

So I will check this later because I cannot burn good energy on this.

I do not get it because the code did not change

installTemplateIn: baseDirectory 

	| destination |
	destination := baseDirectory / '_support'.
	destination ensureDeleteAll.

	"Because we move the support folder into a folder called _support"
	(self directory / 'support')
		copyAllTo: destination

putting halt in File class>>exists: is a bad idea

File class(Object)>>halt
File class>>exists:
MacStore(DiskStore)>>exists:
FileSystem>>exists:
FileReference>>exists
[ :each | | path |
			path := each / eachName.
			path exists
				ifTrue: [ ^ path fullName ] ] in [ :eachName |
		self paths do: [ :each | | path |
			path := each / eachName.
			path exists
				ifTrue: [ ^ path fullName ] ] ] in FFIMacLibraryFinder(FFILibraryFinder)>>findAnyLibrary: in Block: [ :each | | path |...
Array(SequenceableCollection)>>do:
[ :eachName |
		self paths do: [ :each | | path |

Recloning the repo made it works. Totally confusing.

I’m experiencing really flaky behavior with files and in particular after a PR that adds a folder (as in the case of new archetypes in Pillar). Pharo tells me that the file does not exist but it does.

Yesterday reinstalling the clone solved the problem but this is really strange. I start to see a reproducible case.

• install pillar two times
• in the second install copy an archetype
• add commit push
• in the first version install pull

then build a pillar doc

pillar archetype copiedArchetype -> file not found while the files are in the repo.

I got what was the problem: the build copy the archetype folder and the archetype folder is then not updated
