Air not starting on windows 11

[Script20]

I have go and htmx project and when I try and start air it doesn't crashes as shown in image below. I have seen in a issue if you put "start" in "full_bin" it will work but that doesn't work for me.

My air toml:

I just had this issue while doing the same course. It's not related to Air - instead, the .air.toml file needs adjustment for Windows.

I modified lines 7 and 8 of the air.toml to look like the following:

  bin = ".\tmp\main.exe"
  cmd = "go build -o '.\tmp\main.exe' 'cmd\main.go'"

What I changed:

• quote the paths inside the cmd, i.e. ./tmp/main becomes './tmp.main'
• use backslashes instead of forward, i.e. './tmp/main' becomes '.\tmp\main'
• change main to main.exe in both lines

If you're still running into issues, first check that you can run the contents of cmd separately in your terminal, i.e. run

go build -o '.\tmp\main.exe' 'cmd\main.go'

If you get errors here, there are likely errors in your main.go file. (Also, make sure it's actually in the cmd folder and not in a subfolder.)

This worked for me on Windows 11

bin = "./tmp/main.exe"
cmd = "go build -o ./tmp/main.exe cmd/main.go"
