Sounds like you're trying to run ./develop init from a directory that already contains a src directory.
If you want to trash everything and start fresh you should remove the src directory first. I believe that's rd /s /q "src" on Windows, although if you're using Git Bash as your shell rm -rf src should work.
I'm going to close this, but feel free to comment if there's a bigger issue beyond trashing the existing src directory.
Thank joe
Actually I’m sure that the ‘src’ folder error only came up when I ran ./develop the second time perhaps?
Everything ran fine till the ./develop bash which I tried on git bash for Windows which I then thought might be the issue as I had problems an before with git bash and certain admin permissions - so that’s the path I followed - tried the same on PowerShell but couldn’t figure how to run a bash command there?
Yeah I’ll scratch it and start again - thanks Joe - really love this bedrock docker procesure - well done
Let me know if you run into trouble on WIndows! I develop on OSX and arch linux so Windows bugs are a blindspot of mine. 😬
Sorry just to expand - the route I was investigating was “C:/Program Files/Git/var/www/html' is invalid” - which made me think the script was trying to access my local machine rather than the containers “/var/www/html’ folder?
Yeah no problem
Hi Joe - i've come across the solution to this indirectly on another project - it's specifically related to Windows and using Git Bash as the terminal ...
"Prefixing the path with a double slash (//bin/bash) should prevent this"
Aha! That's good to know, thanks for the heads up about that issue. Glad there was a clear cause and correction.
