Crash when running `$ ghost restart` from a subdirectory #1269

jackHedaya · 2020-08-03T13:11:41Z

Summary

If I run $ ghost start or $ ghost restart in a subdirectory of my Ghost folder it will throw a similar error as found in #442.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a ghost project
Make a new theme in the ghost project
cd to this theme nested somewhere in the ghost project
run $ ghost start

Any other info e.g. Why do you consider this to be a bug? What did you expect to happen instead?

I believe Ghost should recognize that the Ghost directory is somewhere further up and follow it.

@jackHedaya the error you're showing in logs appears to be a different one than you're describing. As of Ghost-CLI 1.14.0 (this commit specifically), Ghost-CLI will correctly figure out your installation directory, even if you're currently in a subfolder.

The error you're running into appears to be related to a broken installation of sqlite3. You should be able to resolve the issue by running ghost update --force, which should re-install your current version of Ghost and, in theory, reinstall sqlite3 to resolve the issue.

jackHedaya · 2020-08-07T17:54:43Z

I will try the ghost update --force but I find it strange that ghost restart only threw that error in a subdirectory.

jackHedaya · 2020-08-17T06:16:02Z

@acburdine

Just ran $ ghost update --force and then attempted to run $ ghost restart again. I then did some investigating.

This error occured because $ ghost restart tried to create the Ghost instance but couldn't due to this being a local environment (and I did not have a production config file). I expected it to start using $ ghost start local but instead it started with $ ghost start. Perhaps if Ghost cannot find the production config but can find the development config it should launch with $ ghost start local by default?

acburdine · 2020-08-17T11:46:08Z

Perhaps if Ghost cannot find the production config but can find the development config it should launch with $ ghost start local by default?

It should do that automatically already, but there might be some sort of issue with that auto-detection not working when ghost restart is run in a subdirectory 🤔 I'll do some testing myself and see what I can find.

Our bot has automatically marked this issue as stale because there has not been any activity here in some time. The issue will be closed soon if there are no further updates, however we ask that you do not post comments to keep the issue open if you are not actively working on a PR. We keep the issue list minimal so we can keep focus on the most pressing issues. Closed issues can always be reopened if a new contributor is found. Thank you for understanding 🙂

Not sure what the status of this bug is but haven't worked with Ghost in about a year so I'm going to be closing it.
