setup_new_ixa_project.sh fails to download .pre-commit-config.yaml #773
Description
I’m following the “Get Started” guide and running the setup script:
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CDCgov/ixa/main/scripts/setup_new_ixa_project.sh | sh -s
The script fails with:
Failed to download pre-commit-config.yaml from ixa
Looking at the script, it attempts to download:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CDCgov/ixa/main/.pre-commit-config.yaml
But, that file does not exist on the main branch, so the request returns 404 and the setup exits.
Expected behavior:
The project should scaffold successfully as described in the get started guide.
Workaround:
Creating a minimal placeholder file allows the setup to complete:
printf "repos: []\n" > .pre-commit-config.yaml
Suggested fixes:
- add the file to the repository, or
- make the step non-fatal if the file is unavailable
