dash-generate-components creates __init__.py in wrong directory

[jo47011]

Hi,

I've created a new dash-component-boilerplate no changes made.

When calling dash-generate-components as below the __init__.py is created in the toplevel directory.

dash-generate-components ./src/lib/components xxx_frontend -p package-info.json

Thus running python usage.py results in

AttributeError: module 'xxx_frontend' has no attribute 'XxxFrontend'

When I mannually move the __init__.py to the xxx_frontend folder it works.

Downloaded the latest dash-component-boilerplate version as of today.

Thanks a lot for any help.

For completeness here is the content of the toplevel directory:

Did you use cookiecutter to create your component, and made sure to be inside path/to/your/project/xxx_frontend? Note that there's a folder xxx_frontend and also xxx_frontend/xxx_frontend which can be confusing.

I just used the cookiecutter to create my project and tried running dash-generate-components inside Windows 10's terminal. My init file was in the correct directly and I was able to run usage.py without any problem.

Here's what my terminal looks like:

C:\Users\xhlu\dev>cd my_dash_component

C:\Users\xhlu\dev\my_dash_component>venv\Scripts\activate

(venv) C:\Users\xhlu\dev\my_dash_component>dash-generate-components ./src/lib/components my_dash_component -p package-info.json
Generated MyDashComponent.py
