Plato software error

Question

I am getting this error while using plato for one of my project to find maintainability index for angular.js application:

plato -r -d report "angular" angular-master
C:\Users\pritesh\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\plato\lib\util.js:15
  var lastSlash = files[0].lastIndexOf(path.sep);
                          ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'lastIndexOf' of undefined

Answer 1

You did not specify the target files correctly. I don't know your project structure so it is hard to say, but try

plato -r -d report -t "angular" angular-master/*.js

The documentation is requesting input files, not a directory, so you have to use a pattern.
