MMT Assistance

[kocourek]

I've completed the MivaLearn course and read through the docs for MMT.
I have the most recent installs of both python and MMT.
The credentials and remote are set up in line with the documentation.
I have set the config for the editor correctly (VS Code).

When I attempt any checkout the files will download, but I get the following error.

D:\randomFolder\> mmt checkout dev devtest

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "\python\python39\lib\runpy.py", line 197 , in _run_module_as_main

If I am reading correctly, the error seems to be related to a branch property. I double-checked my remote and branch settings and everything lines up with the docs.

The files still download and I can successfully push changes from my local machine to my dev store. However, the MMT commands "info", "pull", "log" all show the message

MMT-COMMAND-00001: MMT has not been configured for path '.'

This message displays regardless of which directory I am in. What am I missing? I know it has to be something simple.

Any MMT users out there that can provide some insight?

The first issue is you have orphaned category properties. We have an outstanding issue on this for MMT and it should be fixed in the next release.

As far as the second issue, are you running those commands from VS Code? It doesn't sound like you are in the right directory. Those commands only work from the current working directory.

Thanks for the response. It's good to know the first problem shouldn't affect using MMT.

An example of my attempt to set up MMT, to address the current working directory:
I create a local directory "Miva", while in this directory I perform a checkout to"./example". The MMT commands show the not configured message in both the "MIVA" and the "Miva/example" directories, I feel like I'm missing something incredibly simple. Is there an MMT equivalent of "setup this directory to work with MMT"?
