That file is a symlink, and it works well on linux. Maybe you are on windows, and git does not support links well?

[Stypox]

Oh, apparently windows has problems with symlinks... https://stackoverflow.com/a/59761201

I guess we should just copy that file instead of avoiding duplication...

[davidasunmo]

@Stypox I'm someone new to this repo and also encountered this error after a fresh git clone. I applied the fix in the linked stackoverflow answer and it seems to work. Can we add this information to documentation somewhere, and are we planning to remove the use of symlinks as part of the big rewrite?

[Stypox]

I mean, it is just one symlink in the whole repo and I introduced it just to avoid duplicating code, but it turned out to be a bad idea. If you want to open a PR to replace the symlink with a copy of the file, I'd merge it.

[litetex]

Ran into the same problem while checking out the repo and enabling symlinks on windows is kind of NOT straight forward:
https://gist.github.com/huenisys/1efb64e57c37cfab7054c65702588fce

I would suggest merging the PR and for the future use a different solution.
