Unable to only update the template of a project

[binhonglee]

OS: Ubuntu 14.04 (through Vagrant)
Version: 2.4.4

Running the following command as recommended in README.md

pbs update_project --template /tmp/template.html

Throws this error

Usage: pbs update_project [OPTIONS]

Error: no such option: --template

I tried this instead

pbs update_project --task-presenter --template /tmp/template.html

but was thrown another error

Usage: pbs update_project [OPTIONS]

Error: Got unexpected extra argument (/tmp/template.html)

If I do

pbs update_project --task-presenter /tmp/

This is the error (still shown the same error after creating a "long_description.md" file in the "/tmp/" folder)

Traceback (most recent call last):

And if I navigate to "/tmp/" to run pbs update_project, pbs update_project --task-presenter or pbs update_project --project /path/to/project.json
I get the same error message

Usage: pbs [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

Error: Invalid value for "--project": Could not open file: project.json: No such file or directory

Bonus: Running pbs version in a folder without a "project.json" file throws an error. Not sure if this is intended

Usage: pbs [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

Error: Invalid value for "--project": Could not open file: project.json: No such file or directory

Hi,

If you run:

pbs update_project --help

You will get the following message:

Usage: pbs update_project [OPTIONS]

  Update project templates and information.

Options:
  --task-presenter TEXT    The project task presenter file
  --results TEXT           The project results file
  --long-description TEXT  The project long description file (Markdown)
  --tutorial TEXT          The project tutorial file
  --watch / --no-watch     Watch for changes in the current folder and update
                           the project
  --help                   Show this message and exit.

In your comment, it looks like you added -task-presenter --presenter for updating the template. That part is not needed, can you try without it? It should work.

Hi @teleyinex, sorry for the delayed response. As mentioned above,

If I do

pbs update_project --task-presenter /tmp/

This is the error (still shown the same error after creating a "long_description.md" file in the "/tmp/" folder)

I just realized I did not document this but I also tried doing

pbs update_project --task-presenter /tmp/custom_task_presenter.html

and was thrown the same exact error stack as above.

Hi,

Yes, the issue is that the file long_description.md is not in your folder, from where you run the command and therefore it triggers this error. We should fix with an empty string. Thanks for reporting!

As a workaround for you: create a long_description.md file in the folder and it should work.

[binhonglee]

Hi @teleyinex,

As I found out, not only do you need long_description.md but also results.html and tutorial.html all in the folder where the command is run but the task presenter itself does not need to be in that folder.

Something like this:

$ cd folderThatHasEverythingButTaskPresenter
$ ls
long_description.md    results.html    tutorial.html
$ ls /someOtherFolder/
task_presenter.html
$ pbs update_project --task-presenter /someOtherFolder/task_presenter.html

[teleyinex]

Yes, we always use a copy of one of our templates, and that's the issue. We should create them or use an internal value to avoid this issue! Thanks for finding this bug.
