How to install native image on Windows

lispyclouds commented 3 years ago

Thanks a lot for this handy action! 😄

I have been happily using this for Mac and Linux but wanted to try out native images for Windows too but im running into the following issues when trying to run gu install native-image:

If the default shell(Powershell I think?) is used:

Run gu install native-image
gu install native-image
shell: C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\pwsh.EXE -command ". '{0}'"
env:
  JAVA_HOME: C:\hostedtoolcache\windows\GraalVM\20.3.0-java11\x64
  JAVA_HOME_20.3.0.java11: C:\hostedtoolcache\windows\GraalVM\20.3.0-java11\x64
  LEIN_HOME: C:\hostedtoolcache\windows\Leiningen\2.9.5\x64
Get-Unique: D:\a\_temp\1a3e4b20-ff2e-4c1f-8c67-4f71f6a61b6e.ps1:2
Line |
 2 |  gu install native-image
   |  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   | A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'install'.

Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

If I use shell: bash

Run gu install native-image
gu install native-image
shell: C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.EXE --noprofile --norc -e -o pipefail {0}
env:
  JAVA_HOME: C:\hostedtoolcache\windows\GraalVM\20.3.0-java11\x64
  JAVA_HOME_20.3.0.java11: C:\hostedtoolcache\windows\GraalVM\20.3.0-java11\x64
  LEIN_HOME: C:\hostedtoolcache\windows\Leiningen\2.9.5\x64
D:\a\_temp\9fd80673-7852-483b-9f69-b700b89aafdc.sh: line 1: gu: command not found
Error: Process completed with exit code 127.

This is my YAML

- name: Setup GraalVM
  uses: DeLaGuardo/setup-graalvm@master
  with:
    graalvm-version: '20.3.0.java11'
- name: Setup Leiningen
  uses: DeLaGuardo/setup-clojure@master
    with:
      lein: 2.9.5
- name: Install native image toolchain
  shell: bash # Or without this
  run: gu install native-image # This is what fails

I tried setting up the PATH manually too but my limited Windows skills are failing me miserably 🙁

I'll have a look. Probably you right and this is just misconfiguration so should be easy to fix

DeLaGuardo commented 3 years ago

To install additional components on windows you can use gu.cmd instead of gu however, I don't know yet why there is a difference between windows and other platforms (they all should work the same) :(

By default, windows has an alias named 'gu' for Get-Unique command

what is "gu" and how to install it on windows?

DeLaGuardo commented 1 year ago

@dermoritz it is a command line tool called GraalVM updater - https://www.graalvm.org/latest/reference-manual/graalvm-updater/

I recommend using official action from graalvm and this is how you can use gu on windows - https://github.com/graalvm/setup-graalvm/blob/main/.github/workflows/test.yml#L119-L126
