Automation Blocks: New Project from Template Folder - Error line 35

I'm reaching out to Mathias Moehl at Automation Blocks.

Mathias, I'm trying to use the New Project from Template Folder script. I think I'm following the workflow pretty carefully but I keep getting "Make sure the template folder contains the placeholder" error.

I'm sure it's something on my end but is there a simple common error that users run into before I send more info to you? 

I'm attaching a screenshot of the error message which shows the folder structure. If I'm understanding this correctly, the PP template project should be in this folder.

Hi, Mathias (and Kevin). I figured out what I was doing. Operator error. I did NOT have the folder name include the same template name used within the folder contents. It works beautifully now.

I love the extention, by the way. Very helpful.

Hi @Editor1961,

Thanks for the question. To summon Mathias, be sure to label discussions as "SDK." I have done that for you. I hope you'll get help from him or the community soon.

 

Thanks,
Kevin
