Flow CLI not detecting flow.json[BUG] <title>

[cryptobank04]

Current Behavior

Im trying to get the project to build, but whenever Im in the root directory and run flow emulator start I get an error stating: 🙏 Configuration is missing, initialize it with: 'flow init' and then rerun this command., even though there is a flow.json file in the root directory.

I then attempt to run flow init command as suggested by the error and then I get the following error: ❌ Command Error: configuration already exists at: flow.json, if you want to reset configuration use the reset flag

Here is my current FCL version:

Version: v0.45.1-cadence-attachments-3
Commit: 1b24e6a50e7c0e3c17e1424ef2ec1000a5a7c423

Any thoughts on how to proceed?

Expected Behavior

The flow emulator should recognize the flow.json file and run as normal.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Clone project
2. cd into project root
3. run flow emulator start

Environment

- OS: Mac OS 13.1 Beta
- Node: v14.18.2
- npm: 6.14.15

What are you currently working on that this is blocking?

Trying to understand how this project works for the hackathon.

Thanks for the flag @cryptobank04 As the main flow.json references two additional files, you should make sure they exist and the correct values are added/updated based on your environment and account/key info. If files referenced from flow.json don't exist you will get that warning.

You can run the following to create emulator.private.json and testnet.private.json

// copy emulator.private.json.example and testnet.private.json.example files and update with your own key data.

cp emulator.private.json.example emulator.private.json
cp testnet.private.json.example testnet.private.json
