starter-kit.yaml does not exist

[nmastura9]

I am trying to install starter kit into my new blank statamic v3 project. I am able to create a super user.
But not able to install starter kit using the command php please starter-kit:install .

Below are the screenshot of the error I get. Kindly let me know how to fix this.

@duncanmcclean are you also on Windows?

Hah, nope! 🤦‍♂️

I was able to reproduce this issue consistently by forcing a version of the starter kit from before this commit statamic/starter-kit-starters-creek@fae835a into my system's composer cache.

To fix it, I ran this from the project root to remove the reference to the tarball without the required YAML file:

composer remove/statamic/starter-kit-starters-creek

and then the following to clear the global composer cache:

composer clearcache

After doing that, I was able to install the starter kit.

Notes: I was not able to repro without stale items in the composer cache.

@nmastura9 I see you're on Windows as well. We'll look into it! Feel free to subscribe to this issue if you want to follow along!

[jesseleite]

Actually, @nmastura9 could you try clearing your composer cache before installing (via composer clearcache)?

[nmastura9]

Done subscribe ! @jesseleite I have clear my cache, but still get the same error.

Oh interesting, we'll take a look!
