Problem with initial scaffolding - no auto Rakefile creation then "no implicit conversion from nil to integer" about glimmer HOT 8 CLOSED

You got an error on top that you may have not addressed yet:

No user.name found in ~/.gitconfig. Please tell git about yourself (see http://help.github.com/git-email-settings/ for details).
For example: git config --global user.name "mad voo"

The git username is required for scaffolding at the moment. After it runs with it, it generates a Rakefile automatically.

Ok, got that stuff taken care of but I still get this error:

warning: thread "Ruby-0-Thread-1: /opt/jruby/lib/ruby/gems/shared/gems/glimmer-dsl-swt-4.17.2.2/lib/glimmer/launcher.rb:187" terminated with exception (report_on_exception is true):

Did you delete the previously half generated app before scaffolding again (e.g. rm -rf some_app)? If not, make sure to do so. Let me know what OS you are on if you run into trouble again. Also, always share the full output even before the error, so I’d know everything that went on please.

OK, you still have a problem with your Git setup:

Please specify --github-username or set github.user in ~/.gitconfig (see http://github.com/blog/180-local-github-config for details). For example: git config --global github.user defunkt

Please fix it by running:

git config --global github.user mistergibson

Pay attention to error messages. They are helpful and often provide you with hints that are the exact solution you are looking for.

OK - got it working, but it was weird:

I had to be in a .git blessed directory (from my gitlab repo) to run glimmer scaffold, who creates the project dir and another .git inhabited dir in that. Also, I am using my own gitlab repo -- not github as your script appears to assume. It does run, which is friggin cool, but when I attempt to re-run it with "glimmer run" it cannot find jruby even though env jruby points home correctly.

Hope that helps.

So, love that I got it running, but don't understand the .git on .git assumptions you're making.

There is no such thing as a "glimmer run" command task. But, assuming you mean "glimmer application", you would just have to replace "application" with the the path to the application binary script, which gets scaffolded automatically under the "bin" directory.

For example, if you scaffolded 'some_app', then cd into it and run this:

glimmer bin/some_app

It is mentioned under Glimmer App Scaffolding for future reference.
