Logger.yml isn't being generated, not certain of format

AresMUSH
1

I noticed the following when running the initial setup for running in docker, and I’m struggling with successful initiation following the docker instructions:

rake aborted!
Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - /ares/aresmush/game/config/database.yml

I manually created the config directory, and then re-ran bundle exec rake configure $*bundle, and I was able to generate the expected yml files.

However, I received the following on bundle exec rake init. I think I’m missing logger configuration that wasn’t generated.

ares@e789cde0443d:/ares/aresmush$ bundle exec rake init --trace
** Invoke init (first_time)
** Execute init
rake aborted!
NoMethodError: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass

When you say you “manually created the config directory” - that indicates to me that something went awry with your install. Be sure you followed all of the steps, especially #4:

  1. Copy the aresmush/install/game.distr directory to create a new folder aresmush/game.

That should have created a game directory including logger.yml (but also all the other default game config).

That was exactly the problem and it became obvious after going through the 1-click version and comparing files. Thanks for the reply.
