Project templates are not found and are coming up as incomplete.

[RandallDavis]

I'm experiencing two failures with project templates that might be related:

1. Running pack without specifying a templatefile results in no files being added to the output directory.
2. When specifying the templatefile for the project, I get the error "There was an attempt to pack incomplete template file...".

I'm working in a solution with more than one F# project and have created AssemblyInfo.fs files for both.

I've created a sample solution that illustrates this here.

1. Your Template-Files are named packet.template, so Paket simply can't find them.
2. Template files with type project have to be matching, which means they have to be named paket.template or Project.fsproj.paket.template, as stated in the docs. That's why Paket fails, as it can't find the matching project, to get the missing infos from.

Maybe we should show a better error message for such cases.

yes I was just about to write 1) - rename it to paket.template without the c

[RandallDavis]

Sorry about the oversight in the template file name. It's been fixed, and I'm still experiencing the same behavior. I also added a few new projects to the solution to cover different potential use cases, but they're all failing the same way.

your repro worked with pack (without specific template file) after the rename.

With latest alpha version it also worked with specific template file

[RandallDavis]

Okay - I tested with the latest version of whatever the bootstrapper pulls in (I'm assuming this isn't alpha). When I run paket pack output nugets, I'm getting a success message, but no files are being put in /.paket/nugets/.

[forki]

did you try .paket\paket pack output nugets maybe it's just started from wrong folder!?

[RandallDavis]

Okay - that did it!

When I run paket pack output nugets from within the .paket folder, it says it succeeds and creates the nugets directory. Going up to the solution directory and running .paket\paket pack output nugets crawls everything successfully.

Thanks a ton

yeah it just looks down. never up
