Expected input and output file paths

Error message

Expected input and output file paths

What it means

wrap-get-attribute-as-global.js wraps the compiled getAttribute TypeScript atom as window.bot.dom.typescript.getAttribute. It requires two positional CLI args [inputPath, outputPath]; missing either throws immediately. Build-time helper invoked by Bazel; not user-facing.

Solutions

1. Invoke as: node wrap-get-attribute-as-global.js <compiled-input.js> <wrapped-output.js>.
2. Verify both $(location) expansions resolve to real files in the Bazel rule.
3. Confirm the upstream compile produced the input.
4. Run the Bazel target directly instead of the script.

Example fix

// before
node javascript/atoms/typescript/wrap-get-attribute-as-global.js get-attribute.compiled.js

// after
node javascript/atoms/typescript/wrap-get-attribute-as-global.js get-attribute.compiled.js get-attribute.global.js

const [inputPath, outputPath] = process.argv.slice(2)
if (!inputPath || !outputPath) {
  console.error('Usage: wrap-get-attribute-as-global.js <input.js> <output.js>')
  process.exit(2)
}

When it happens

Trigger: Invoking with fewer than two arguments. A Bazel rule that omits one $(location) substitution. Passing empty/undefined strings from a misconfigured macro.

Common situations: Editing the getAttribute atom BUILD file and dropping an argument. Manual debugging invocation. A target rename breaking location expansion.
