bsb -init fails if bsb already exists(!)

[ELLIOTTCABLE]

$ bsb -theme minimal -init .
Fatal error: exception Unix.Unix_error(Unix.EEXIST, "mkdir", "./src")
$ rm -r src/
$ bsb -theme minimal -init .
Symlink bs-platform in /Users/ec/Dropbox/Code/wrange/.
Fatal error: exception Unix.Unix_error(Unix.EEXIST, "symlink", "node_modules/.bin/bsb")
$ rm -r node_modules/
$ bsb -theme minimal -init .
zsh: command not found: bsb

Welp.

I understand bs-platform is intended to be installed globally, but it unnecessarily vendors in a bunch of OCaml tooling I already have for my other projects (relevant, of course, is #404: BSB / Reason with existing OCaml setup / Merlin is underdocumented); and there's no way to install just bsc and bsb (this project badly needs some refactoring/modularization! I should, ideally, just be able to npm install --save-dev bs-compiler bs-build-system, and not deal with any of this, y'know?)

So, anyway, for this Issue, bsb -init ./ should more gracefully handle existing filesystem contents when initializing the current directory. Especially given that, if you install bs-platform for a single project or just to experiment with it, this means bsb -init is going to wipe out bsb itself.

The workaround, obviously, if anybody else runs into this before a fix is landed, is to install bsb in an adjacent directory and/or globally, and then bsb -init your_project from scratch.

To summarize, the issue is with a local installed bsb, the bsb -init would not work
