Error publishing private component

[ayydnn]

Hi,
I’m getting an error when trying to privately publish a custom component.

Can someone please explain to me what this error means and how I can resolve it?

here is the package.json file for more info

Did you do the these directions as stated on Adalo Developer’s Website?

Publishing | Adalo

[ayydnn]

Yes, the command is being ran from the root directory of the component and the package.json file is filled in.

If I’m not mistaken you need to email Adalo for publishing a private component. Scroll down to the bottom of the website until you see publish a private component.

No-Code Meet Code in Adalo’s Component Marketplace

Thanks, I will send an email. But that does not explain the error message “a subdirectory or file -p already exists”

[James_App_Maker]

I pretty sure it’s saying that you already created a file with that same name and you need to change it, I’ve never developed a private component before so I’m trying to help

There is a ‘dir’ file already existing from running the command to create the component. I have not touched the file myself. Deleting the file and running the publish command again just creates another ‘dir’ file and produces the same error.
