Hey guys , i’ve been having an issue with the fetching files from my hubspot account, when i create a module on the design tool and create couple of fields, when i try to fetch the module(or any other file) into my local environment, it would not have the fields.json and every other file associated to the module updated accordingly,  
i have also tried the hs fetch --overwrite , it still doesn’ seem to work, i’d really appreciate any help i can get to fix this,  
Thank you in anticipation.

Hi @OJOGBODO,

haven’t discovered something like this because

`fetch ... --overwrite`

should overwrite existing files like you’ve mentioned.

Have you tried to delete or move the local module? and fetch it again?  
Also a tipp: If you add fields via design-tools to a module you can copy just the fields.json here:

This works for the style-fields aswell

best,

Anton

Thank you anton @Anton , intererstingly, i have tried to delete the module and infact at some point , i felt it was because the module or file already existed locally, so i created an entirely new module and tried to fetch , it was still missing out on all the other details in the file (fields.json , meta.json e.t.c).  
This is the command i use in my terminal  
npx hs fetch --overwrite /cta-theme-new/modules/My-test.module.  
Thank you in anticipation.

Hi @OJOGBODO,

have you tried the [documented way](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/cms/developer-reference/local-development-cli#fetch-files)?

So instead of

`npx hs fetch --overwrite ....`

opening the folder via cli and run this

`hs fetch --overwrite cta-theme-new/modules/My-test.module /cta-theme-new/modules/My-test.module`

best,

Anton
