Error after cleaning tmp folder

[bekircem]

Hi,

I installed Discourse development environment with official guide on my MacOS. I changed plugin file and it warned me for “remove the TMP folder”. I cleaned tmp folder in Discourse and after that when i use that command Discourse doesn’t work: bundle exec rails server

Any idea?

I cleaned up files and folders in TMP folder. So i cleaned tmp/? But my operating system shows hidden files and folders. I must have deleted the hidden files and folders. Is it problem?
