Looks like it's mangling the path because of the space.
should be common/Neverwinter Nights/data/nwn_base.key
What is the output of nasher config --global nssFlags && nasher config --local nssFlags?
-n ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Neverwinter\ Nights/data
The output at the top actually did have the backslash in it, but it doesn't render in the comment.
When you run with --verbose, does it show the correct command being passed to nwnsc before this error message?
$ nasher pack mymod --verbose

You'll see it's missing some of the folder name. That's because there's a space in your folder name. You need to use escapes because nwnsc doesn't handle spaces file and folder names.
Sorry, I should have asked for --debug rather than --verbose. Was trying to figure out if nasher is sending a bad command or if nwnsc just can't read it. Looks like it's nasher's fault. The Nim method I used to handle the arguments only handles whitespace within quotes.
I will see if there's an elegant way to fix this. A workaround for now is to use quotation marks around your path rather than escaping spaces. For example:
nasher config --nssFlags:'-n "/home/youruserhere/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Neverwinter Nights"'Note that since you have to wrap it in single quotes, you have to use the full path. The ~/ will not be expanded.
Ok, thanks.
I'm not planning on making a change here after all. Using quotes to surround paths with spaces is the solution.
Note that using quotes is only necessary in the issue above since the path is itself part of another string. On Posix systems it's the shell that usually handles escaping spaces (as well as expansion of the tilde), so this works fine:
$ nasher config installDir ~/Documents/Neverwinter\ Nights
