I generate a project using the wizard, including an examples project and testing project.

The Wizard fails with error pop-up with message “Invalid project description”. I have to cancel the wizard dialog to continue. It has generated the language project and examples project, but not the unit testing project.

This seems to be an issue with generating a project in a non-default location

To reproduce:

• name: org.metaborg.lang.wizard
• generate in non-default location
• browse and create directory org.metaborg.lang.wizard to hold the project (if I don’t do this, the project folders are created in the parent directory where I would the projects to be)

I also get ‘transformation failed’ errors in Main.esv, Wizard.sdf3 and Common.sdf3, but the location seems to be the issue

Error log

/Users/eelcovisser/Dropbox/03-Research/MetaBorgCube/metaborg-wizard overlaps the location of another project: ‘org.metaborg.lang.wizard.example’

This should be fixed in a new nightly version.
