Change repl language

An html project that I imported from github is trying to run in bash. How do I change the mode to html+css+js? Thanks!

The only way to do this is to create an HTML repl and manually transfer the files by hand. HTML repos do now import into repl.it correctly, yet.

Is this still true? @Vandesm14

@suttar2 Nope, Github intergation works with HTML repls now

Thanks for the reply @Vandesm14. I realized it was automatically running my project as bash and I needed to change my replit launch file to say

'
language = "html"
run = "index.html"

'

@suttar2 thanks

i have an html project, its imported as node and complaining about main.sh

It seems that when you import an HTML project from GitHub, it detects it properly as HTML, but then runs Bash instead. This is not at all intuitive. I actually had to manually create a .replit file in my GitHub repo before importing. It seems like a bug to me.

I have the same problem

Just dealt with this. Don't think you can change an existing repl type but all you have to do is create a new repl of type HTML, CSS, JS, and then click 'Import from Github'.

And I think you also may need to create/change the .replit file to:


language = "html"
run = "index.html"
