rake svn:update git:pull fails about whimsy HOT 5 CLOSED

Did you issue the following command?

echo ":root: ." >.whimsy

The '.whimsy' file should be in the parent directory, i.e. one level above where DOCKER.md is located.

Yes, I did it according to the docs. My folder structure looks like:

-rw-r--r--   1 cy  staff     9B May 17 20:48 .whimsy
drwxr-xr-x   2 cy  staff    64B May 16 18:38 cache
drwxr-xr-x   9 cy  staff   288B May 18 19:04 gems

drwxr-xr-x  37 cy  staff   1.2K May 18 18:43 whimsy

The content of .whimsy is:

:root: .

The problem is that the Rakefile is expecting to find the config under /srv/whimsy/lib; however /srv/whimsy is only set up under docker.

Can you please try editing Rakefile as follows?
Thanks!

The Rakefile assumes that it will be run from the directory in which it appears. Indeed it looks for the library sources (which include config) here:

So it should be OK to make that change for all circumstances.
But it would be good to get confirmation that it fixes the issue for you!

@sebbASF - it indeed fixes the issue for me. I could successfully run the command. For your convenience I just created a PR with your proposed change. Thanks a lot for your help!
