Windows 11: npx pagefind --source public - Not Working

[RenaudDev]

Hi, very exciting project!

Trying to install on a hugo website and nothing is happening.

I made a build a my website hugo

I installed it: npx pagefind --source "public"

I created a pagefind.yml in the root directory

# pagefind.yml
source: public
bundle_dir: _pagefind

Then when I type npx pagefind

After a couple seconds...nothing happens.

I tried installing it via npm and then run npm run

Nothing happens there either.

Hi,

so afterall, I installed the version 0.6.1 and everything seems to work fine now.

Interesting — So 0.6.1 is working and 0.8.1 was not working?

Yes exactly

I've just been trying this and have also found the latest releases do not do anything. I've tried multiple versions and it seems to stop working from 0.7.1 onward using the npm wrapper. This is on Windows 10, so probably a more general Windows issue.

If I download the latest manually it seems to run fine, so probably something to do with the npm wrapper?

Aside from that looking forward to trying this out, it seems to fill many gaps in the SSG search area.

Thanks for the context — 0.7.0/0.7.1 is when the pagefind_extended binary was added and was made the default for the npx wrapper, so something in that changeover has obviously failed. I'll inspect that

Sorry for the delay all — this should be fixed by #113 — aiming for a release this week 🙂
