Bagger Profiles

[Margaret Peachy]

I'm working with Bagger 2.1.3 and trying to define a new profile, however, every time I add the new profile to the profiles directory Bagger will not open. I'm not well-versed in JSON at all, but followed the great instructions posted on the Digital POWRR site. I've also checked the file against other profiles I already have defined, and cannot identify the issue. Has anyone else run into this problem? Any advice?

Thanks!
Margaret

Hi Margaret-

Have you run your JSON through a validator? There are all sorts of them online. I’ve run into a similar problem before and the validator has caught all sorts of small errors that I couldn’t find that needed correction before Bagger will display the profile.

Thanks, Moriah!

I did run it through a few validators and fixed a few errors, but unfortunately bagger is still crashing on me when this particular profile is present.

Margaret,

Would it be possible for you to share your profile?

Cheers,

Mark

Hi Margaret - 

Try renaming the file from "DPN_generic.json" to "DPN_generic-profile.json". The file itself is valid, but Bagger is opinionated about the filename before the extension ending with "-profile". 

Best,

Mark

... I should also add that I tested this in Bagger 2.7.1, and as long as the file is renamed, Bagger starts with no issues.
