Receiving error when running

[mikeerickson]

I have thought about trying this script for quite sometime, and finally pulled the trigger.

When I run na -a "test" it throws an error

-:38:in `initialize': No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen -  (Errno::ENOENT)
	from -:38:in `new'
	from -:38:in `<main>'

I have a todo.taskpaper file in the directory where I am running it, must it contain anything else?

[mikeerickson]

The first time I execute, it properly creates the file and adds the todo item. however, subsequent calls it produces the above error.

in my case, I am testing in

~/desktop

File created

~/desktop/desktop.taskpaper

[mikeerickson]

Fixed the issue per se, I changed the script na.sh

line: 158
# target=${fileList[0]}
target=${fileList[1]}

While this helps the script work, it will still fail if there are more than one *.taskpaper files in the directory

@ttscoff I can debug/fix this code further if you would like, but I wanted to let you know what was happening sooner rather than later. It is working for me now to allow me to test (while i also work with the trial version of TaskPaper).

[ttscoff]

Looks like that error is occurring in the Ruby portion of the script. I'm not seeing it happen locally, but if you do have a chance to debug, happy to look at a pull request.

@mikeerickson Are you using zsh?

[mikeerickson]

A year later, I was presented with this error again today. I tracked it down (at least in my case) to the fact that I had two different .taskpaper files in the directory. I was thinking the script would always add to the dirname.taskpaper file?

[ttscoff]

It assumes dirname only if another tp file isn't found. Multiple files should default to whichever is first alphabetically being used, but I've never tested that care out. - Brett

@ttscoff still seeing this error under zsh. if i run na under bash is working fine. Do you have any pointers how to fix the script to work with zsh?

[ttscoff]

This script is outmoded, everything has been rewritten and turned into a gem. I highly recommend using that instead.
