Boss fails to create a cement app

[dkamit]

Hi

I tried to create cement app using the Boss template.
As per cement app documentation from the link I executed

boss create ./myapp -t boss:cement-app

fails with the error as below
BossTemplateError: No supported config found.

Your help is much-appreciated thanks

I had the same issue, solved it by installing boss into a venv and created the following as boss.yml in the same directory as the venv.

variables:
    version: Version
    module: Python Module Name
    project: Project Name
    description: Project Description
    creator: Project Creator
    email: Project Creator Email
    license: License
    url: Project Url

external_files:
    .gitignore: https://raw.github.com/github/gitignore/master/Python.gitignore
    LICENSE: https://raw.github.com/datafolklabs/license/master/@license@

After installing Boss, execute:

boss sync

Then, install pyYaml package for Python:

pip install pyYaml

Now, you can try the failing command.
