Hi @Bruno Njeru. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

It looks like you're encountering an error when trying to run
wasp db start because Wasp can't find the project root. This typically happens when you're not running the command from within a Wasp project directory.
Here are some steps to resolve this issue:
1. Make sure you're in the correct directory. You need to be inside your Wasp project directory when running Wasp commands.
2. Check if you have a .wasproot file in your current directory. This file marks the root of a Wasp project.
3. If you haven't created a Wasp project yet, you should first create one using:
This will guide you through creating a new project interactively, where you can select a template Starter Templates.
4. After creating your project, navigate into the project directory:
5. Then try running wasp db start again.
If you've already created a project but are still getting this error, double-check that you're in the correct directory and that the project was created successfully.
Note: I don't see a specific "roke" template in the provided knowledge sources. The available templates mentioned include basic, todo-ts, saas, embeddings, and ai-generated. Make sure you're using a valid template name when creating your project.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you need further assistance.

❌ --- [Error] Analyzing wasp project failed: -------------------------------------
1 errors found:
- Invalid value for the "compilerOptions.outDir" field in tsconfig.json, expected value: ".wasp/phantom". @kapa.ai
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
It looks like you're encountering an issue with your
tsconfig.json file. Wasp expects a specific configuration for the compilerOptions.outDir field in your TypeScript configuration.
The error indicates that Wasp expects the outDir in your tsconfig.json to be set to .wasp/phantom, but it's currently set to something else.
Here's how to fix this issue:
1. Open your project's tsconfig.json file
2. Find the compilerOptions section
3. Set the outDir field to .wasp/phantom
Your compilerOptions section should include something like:
This is related to how Wasp manages TypeScript configuration. Wasp needs to control certain aspects of the TypeScript configuration to ensure proper code generation and compilation.
If you've modified your tsconfig.json file manually, this might have caused the issue. Wasp typically manages this file and expects certain configurations to be in place for proper functioning.
After making this change, try running wasp db start again.
If you continue to have issues, you could try running wasp clean followed by wasp start to reset and recompile everything for a fresh start, as mentioned in the Discord support thread.
GitHub Issue #939 and #1057 discuss Wasp's management of tsconfig.json files, indicating this is an area where Wasp has specific requirements to ensure IDE support and proper compilation.
