Here's the sequence...

I open the lcb file in Extension Builder

I click "Test"... everything works fine
I click "Package"... lce file successfully built (confirmed by looking in the directory)
I click "Stop Testing".... so far so good, everything is still there
I click "Install"...the following happens:

1. Everything in my widget's folder is deleted including the lce, the lcb, and the support folder
2. I get an error message saying "extension missing from {FILEPATH}"

If I didn't have the lcb file still open in Atom, I would've lost everything.

I have tried this numerous times (with copies obviously) and it keeps happening around 80% of the time

I've tested this on different machines, with both the Community and Indy versions to see if there were any differences.

Are you editing inside the My LiveCode folder?

yes I am... I have a Documents folder in My LiveCode in which I keep my stacks and the extensions I am building

Which OS are you using? I just tried several different locations on my Mac (Sierra) and could not duplicate the behavior. I even tried changing the order (start testing/stop testing/install also worked fine - LCE was built at that point automatically). The only requirement is that you stop testing before you install. This is the full path that I used for the test: Which installed to: This is the file that I'm testing with:

using your library, it didn't happen... actually, I don't think it is happening with libraries, only widgets

Ok. I’ll pull up a widget and do another test.
