Error: NoPermissions (FileSystemError)

[galen211]

On my system, when I try to run "generate widgetbook entry for each widget in this directory" on the example application, I get the below error:

Failed to execute action. Error: NoPermissions (FileSystemError): Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/Users/ga'. Please create an issue in extension's repository with minimal reproducible example.

I'm trying to run this on the packages/my_common_ui/lib/src/widgets folder.

Thanks for trying out the tool and filling the issue!

The problem was in the example project. The name of the project in setting.json file was my local one, but when you clone the project from GH it names the directory after the repository name - widgetbook-vsc-extension-example-project in this case. So it worked for me locally on the old repo which was named differently, but when I cloned a new repo, it was not working.

Thanks for noticing this, I pushed a fix to the example repository. You can pull the changes and see if it works for you now.
