Can't start my app using the Bluemix Live Sync "bl start" command

Question

I want to start coding with Git and I have followed the instructions here: https://new-console.ng.bluemix.net/docs/develop/bluemixlive.html

Using the "bl sync" command I created and synced my Bluemix project in my Windows local directory as shown in the screenshot below. The name of my project is "Speak Out".

"bl sync" command

But when I checked the status with "bl status", a message was returned saying that my project had not been set up on my machine and that I needed to run the sync command.

"bl status" command

I have installed Bluemix Live Sync v1.0.7, Node.js v.5.8.0, and I am using Windows 10. I have tried to restart my computer to update my execution path, but nothing changed.

Can anyone help me solve my problem starting an app with Bluemix Live Sync?

Answer 1

I noticed that there are spaces in your project name "Speak Out". I attempted to reproduce your problem by creating my own project with a space character in the name. I ran bl sync and bl status on both Windows 10 and Mac OS X. In both cases my bl sync succeeded and my bl status failed, although not in exactly the same way as yours. I suspect there might be a defect in the Live Sync tooling when a project name has spaces in it.

You could try working around the problem by forking your "Speak Out" project and assigning a name that has no spaces in it to the new project. Then try to sync and start the app for the new project.
