Fresh clone of repo - nativescript side won't build due to missing 'fonts' directory

[alexziskind1]

Following the standard instructions, I perform a clean install using these steps:

git clone https://github.com/TeamMaestro/angular-native-seed
cd angular-native-seed
npm i
cd nativescript
npm i
npm run ios

and I get an error:

[16:35:20] 'resources.Assets' errored after 25 ms
[16:35:20] Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/Users/alex/Documents/Code/nativescript/codeshare/ans4/nativescript/src/fonts'
    at Error (native)

It looks like the fonts symlink is somehow broken.

Here is the temporary workaround, including all the initial steps of starting from scratch:

git clone https://github.com/TeamMaestro/angular-native-seed
cd angular-native-seed
npm i
cd nativescript
npm i
cd src
open .

This opens the nativescript/src/ directory in a finder window on a Mac where you'll likely see that there is a file called fonts. This is an improperly linked file. Delete it. Then continue back at the terminal:

Still in the src directory.

cd ../..
npm i
cd nativescript
npm run ios

The project builds and runs.

I would suggest making all symlinks in nativescript/src directory relative, as if you move project directory around, it will break each time.
