ChicagoBoss Mac: make: *** [app] Error 64

[Mcowans]

Hello I am new to ChicagoBoss and Erlang, we are currently going over it in class and I can't seem to figure out my current error. After downloading Chicago boss and going through the 60 QuickStart I'm having trouble after the make app PROJECT=mynewproject every time I enter that into terminal I get an error
Matts-MacBook-Pro:ChicagoBoss matt$ make app PROJECT=cmatts_erl ==> ChicagoBoss (create) ERROR: One or more files already exist on disk and were not generated: * "../cmatts_erl/Makefile" * "../cmatts_erl/rebar.config" * "../cmatts_erl/start-server.bat" * "../cmatts_erl/src/cmatts_erl.app.src" * "../cmatts_erl/src/view/lib/tag_modules/cmatts_erl_custom_tags.erl" * "../cmatts_erl/src/view/lib/filter_modules/cmatts_erl_custom_filters.erl" * "../cmatts_erl/boss.config" * "../cmatts_erl/src/mail/cmatts_erl_outgoing_mail_controller.erl" * "../cmatts_erl/src/mail/cmatts_erl_incoming_mail_controller.erl" * "../cmatts_erl/priv/init/cmatts_erl_01_news.erl" * "../cmatts_erl/priv/static/chicago-boss.png" * "../cmatts_erl/priv/static/favicon.ico" * "../cmatts_erl/priv/cmatts_erl.routes" * "../cmatts_erl/priv/rebar/boss_plugin.erl" * "../cmatts_erl/src/view/lib/README" * "../cmatts_erl/init.sh" * "../cmatts_erl/init-dev.sh" * "../cmatts_erl/rebar" * "../cmatts_erl/rebar.cmd" To force overwriting, specify -f/--force/force=1 on the command line. usage: cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvXc] source_file target_file cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvXc] source_file ... target_directory make: *** [app] Error 64
I'm sure its probably something simple, again I very new to this language
Any help with be greatly appreciated

Thanks

I think you already created your project correctly because the error is saying that the files for your project already exist. The error says that ChicagoBoss will not overwrite those files unless you explicitly tell ChicgoBoss to do that, and the error tells you the command that will make ChicagoBoss overwrite the existing files. Instead, you should just cd up one directory where you will find your project:

$ cd ..
$ ls

The ls command will display a list of all the files/directories in the directory, and you should be able to see cmatts_erl in the list. If so, cd into that directory:

$ cd cmatts_erl

I tried creating a project that already exists, and I got an error similar to the one you get. I'm using a Macbook Pro as well and creating a project works fine for me

When you successfully created your project, you should have seen the output:

Your new app is created. You should head over there now:

    cd ../cmatts_erl

~/chicago_boss_apps/ChicagoBoss$ 

Try it: create another app called my_test. Your Macbook won't blow up.

Piggybacking off this.

My make app output matches your successful one line by line except for last line: Error 64!

Is this a bug or something hidden missing in the app?
Thank you!

update - Here's the error I get when I try to initialize.
