Describe the bug

On a new local install added Woo and this plugin via zip download. On activation a fatal error was triggered. It appears the code is looking ofr a directory that is missing from the install.

Isolating the problem

• I have deactivated other plugins and confirmed this bug occurs when only WooCommerce and WooCommerce Smooth Generator plugins are active.
• This bug happens with a default WordPress theme active, or Storefront.
• I can reproduce this bug consistently using the steps above.

Hi @dmccan when you downloaded the zip file, did you get the 1.1.0 release zip, or did you just generate the zip file from the main page of this repository? If the latter, you're probably missing the build step, which would explain the errors.

Yes, that was it. Thank you.
