The loop looks for MD files in the specs folder. But if the specs were created by SpecKit, then the MD files are in a subdirectory.
However, the script does not look in subdirectories and so it finds nothing to do. But if I make it recurse, then it will pick up files like data-model.md. I altered mine for spec kit.
function Get-RootSpecs {
param([string]$SpecsDir = "specs")
if (-not (Test-Path -LiteralPath $SpecsDir -PathType Container)) {
return @()
}
Get-ChildItem -LiteralPath $SpecsDir -File -Filter "spec.md" -Recurse |
Sort-Object -Property Name
}Also, note that even though it found nothing to do, it still started Loop 1. I have no idea what it was working on and I canceled the operation.
