Trigger.io [Errno 18] Cross-device link

Question

When I try to run package ios on mac, I get the following:

[INFO] Forge tools running at version 3.3.5
[INFO] Update result: you already have the latest tools
[INFO] Configuration is unchanged: using existing templates
[INFO] Checking JavaScript files...
[INFO] JavaScript check complete

The settings are all filled up correctly on App config, local config, etc.

Here is debug output

Answer 1

Are you using an external hard-drive? If so, it looks like we've been bitten by a limitation of Python here (http://docs.python.org/library/os.html#os.rename):

The operation may fail on some Unix flavors if src and dst are on different filesystems

In the short term, can you run your forge commands not on your external hard drive? We'll work on a fix for the underlying problem and report back here.

Answer 2

Go to /Users/username/forge-workspace/compapp1/.template/generate_dynamic/ios_tasks.py line 294,

change this line: os.rename(tmp_file, filename)

to this one: shutil.move(tmp_file, filename)

Package again.
