Launching Julia in Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) #547

Open ax1ine opened 5 years ago

ax1ine commented 5 years ago

Hello!

I'm trying to launch Julia-1.1.0 installed on WSL (Ubuntu18.4) in Atom IDE. The standard 'Julia path' doesn't understand paths like:

bash.exe -c "/home/user/julia-1.1.0/bin/julia"

If I run this commant in the Windows command line it works fine. I tried to run it via a script (put .../script.cmd into the 'Julia path'):

@echo off
C:\WINDOWS\System32\bash.exe -c "/home/user/julia-1.1.0/bin/julia"

which also didn't work out. It would be cool to be able to run linux-based Julia in Atom on Windows. Is there any chance to do it?

I'm pretty sure you can just add the WSL julia to your PATH, no?

Tried that with no success. I created a new system variable JULIA with parameters:

bash.exe -c "/home/user/julia-1.1.0/bin/julia"

when I call %JULIA% in the command line I get the following:

C:\Windows\System32>%JULIA%
/bin/bash: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
/bin/bash: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file

If I just run 

bash.exe -c "/home/user/julia-1.1.0/bin/julia"

in the command line it opens Juila. The thing is I can't make Atom to understand where to look for it.

Update. This path works: "wsl /home/user/julia-1.1.0/bin/julia"

But I keep getting this error while launching Julia:

Start-Process : This command cannot be run due to the error: The parameter is incorrect. At C:\Users\User.atom\packages\julia-client\script\spawnInterruptible.ps1:8 char:9

Did you try this when the powershell wrapper is disabled? You'll probably also need to put that command into a *.bat and give that path.

I've just bumped into the same problem. Any solution?

I've been trying to get this working. Running the command suggested by ax1ine without the powershell wrapper will start a REPL, but only sort of. If I set Juno's boot mode to launch an external terminal, rather than 'basic' I can see what's actually happening, which is:

ERROR: could not open file /mnt/c/Users/Angus/AppData/Local/atom/app-1.42.0/C:UsersAngus.atompackagesjulia-clientscriptboot_repl.jl

Looks like wsl is mangling the path that Juno tries to use to launch its boot script? Putting that command into a *.bat will happily launch without error (though without running the Juno boot script) when boot mode is set to external terminal. But when I try to launch in basic boot mode, the terminal just hangs.
