Error while parsing $ - expected Object, but encountered Null about reach-lang HOT 5 CLOSED

It seems that something is wrong with package.yaml. make build is supposed to generate a valid package.yaml file, but something seems to be wrong. Does a package.yaml file exist in your hs folder after running this command? And if so, can you paste it here?

from reach-lang.

It is just empty. Nothing to paste.

Ah, ok. That explains it. Running make build should require that you have a command-line utility called mo installed. For some reason the command for generating package.yaml isn't failing (when I presume in this case it should fail?), but instead is just creating an empty file.

@jeapostrophe how do you think we should approach this issue?

from reach-lang.

I've pushed a change to the makefiles.

It should now correctly fail if you don't have mo installed, and it will prompt you to run make install-mo which should install mo for you. (mo is a command line utility for filling in templates using environment variables.)

If you:

• git pull
• rm package.yaml
• make build

It should tell you to run make install-mo. If you do that, then make-build again, it should build correctly.

Kindly let me know if this works for you or if there are further issues. Thanks!

@KBryan I believe that this issue is now settled, so I'm going to close the issue. If I'm in error, please correct me. :)
