node.js questions...

[Steven Schneider]

Hello folks,

I'm trying to figure out node.js. 

Right now, I"m trying to build a new wiki from empty and add a few tiddlers, by running a bash script. My script has this line:

tiddlywiki new --verbose --init empty --load new-tiddlers.json --build index

My intentions are to (1) create a new empty wiki in the /new subdirectory of the current directory   (2) load a few tiddlers from a json file and (3) create a new index.html file in the default output directory.

I get this response (below), which indicates to me that the init and the load work, but the build does not.

Thanks!

It’s probably a bug that you don’t receive a warning, but you need to perform the init as a separate command:

tiddlywiki new --verbose --init empty

tiddlywiki new --verbose --load new-tiddlers.json --build index

It’s only when the second command starts up that it is able to read the initialisation information stored by the —init command.

Best wishes

oh! ok! thanks Jeremy.

I didn't know I could run a series of commands like that in a shell file, so that's a bonus :)
