@yamaha252 found bug thanks! Start to doing patch!

[yamaha252]

Great! It works perfectly now! Thanks a lot!

[alexander-akait]

@yamaha252 thanks for feedback!
try webfont "src/assets/images/icons/*.svg" --config ".webfontrc" -d "src/assets/icons"

[yamaha252]

Thanks! But, I had an error again

webfont "src/assets/images/icons/*.svg" --config ".webfontrc" -d "src/assets/icons"
TypeError: Path must be a string. Received null
    at assertPath (path.js:7:11)
    at Object.resolve (path.js:1146:7)
    at /Users/yamaha/.nvm/versions/node/v6.10.2/lib/node_modules/webfont/dist/standalone.js:161:55

.webfontrc

{
  "template": "scss"
}

@yamaha252 very strange webfont can't find template, can you create minimal repo with reproduce this?

[yamaha252]

Done: https://github.com/yamaha252/webfont-config

[alexander-akait]

@yamaha252 thanks in near time i investigate this 👍

[alexander-akait]

@yamaha252 try to new version https://github.com/itgalaxy/webfont/releases/tag/7.1.2

[yamaha252]

I updated the package to 7.1.2 in my minimal repo and got the same error:

webfont 'src/*.svg' --config '.webfontrc' -d 'dest/'
TypeError: Path must be a string. Received null
    at assertPath (path.js:7:11)
    at Object.resolve (path.js:1146:7)
    at /Users/yamaha/.nvm/versions/node/v6.10.2/lib/node_modules/webfont/dist/standalone.js:161:55

[yamaha252]

I think the problem was not with 'template' param in a config. It seems can't process --config cli param correctly

[alexander-akait]

@yamaha252 thanks try to investagate

[alexander-akait]

@yamaha252 very strange i now try to use your example command and all work as expected, do you provide more information, maybe your don't update webfont (try npm install webfont)?

[yamaha252]

Oh, @evilebottnawi, I'm sorry. You're right. I've forgotten to update my global webfont package :)
It works correctly now

[yamaha252]

One more question. I read in the readmy:

If no `--config` argument is provided, webfont will search for
                                     configuration  files in the following places, in this order:
                                         - a `webfont` property in `package.json`
                                         - a `.webfontrc` file (with or without filename extension:
                                             `.json`, `.yaml`, and `.js` are available)
                                         - a `webfont.config.js` file exporting a JS object

I have .webfontrc file and run webfont without --config param however the package do not apply my config. Is it ok?

[alexander-akait]

@yamaha252 should search, investigating 👍
