Path cannot be null on init

Using VS 2019, .net core 2.1, Windows 10 Surface Pro on an ASP.NET Core app, when I run electronize init (via command prompt) I receive the following error:

C:\source\repos\TranslationMessageManager>electronize init
Adding our config file to your project...
Search your .csproj to add the needed electron.manifest.json...
Found your .csproj:  - check for existing config or update it.

There isn’t anything in that message that makes it clear to me what might be going on here - just figured I would report it in here in case it makes sense to someone on the team 😃

Thanks!

I could resolve a problem. I m should be in the folder where are the Startup.cs and Program.cs when I execute this commands. I expect that this resolve yours problems too.

So here’s the thing:

At the following step:

At the first time, you need an Electron.NET project initialization. Type the following command in your ASP.NET Core folder:

$ electronize init

Be sure you cd to the correct folder in advance:

So if your folder structure is:

├── project
│   └── Startup.cs
└── project.sln

Then in the Terminal do this:

$ cd project
$ electronize init
$ cd ..
$ electronize start
