Can't create new folder with canvas

[demarchigo]

Hi, once I use te command canvas-sketch sketch-01.js --new there is not output to it.

Also, when I followed a main instruction in this forum that tells us to use this command: npx canvas-sketch src/sketch.js --new --open the scr is created but the .js isn't. Does anyone knows how to solve this? Thanks!

Also, when I installed canvas, I get several warning messages telling me the command is deprecated, but I'm not sure that is the cause.

Hi, I have the same problem as you. I try this one and it works!

• Start the tool on an existing file and change PNG export folder
  canvas-sketch (your-js-name.js) --output=./tmp/

Can you try to follow the steps in this comment and let me know if you have issues?

Hi @mattdesl, I have the same problem and I tried every single option in the said comment and in the whole #96 discussion and when I try to create the .js it does nothing. No output whatsoever, therefore I have no error message to on from here or annything else left in my tool box to try.
I hope you can help me, I'd be very thankful!

UPDATE:
I attempted to open a separate js file and issued the
$ canvas-sketch <myfilename.js> --output=outputfolder

THAT one^ worked fine. And then I looked into the original folder that I was having trouble with--and guess what, the new output folder had been created, including the saved PNG files.

original comment:

I couldn’t find the png outputted files anywhere. And when I add —output=outFolder , no folders are created. (It’s 03.20.2024).
