Open pjfanning opened 7 months ago
I'm a Windows 11 user, but I usually dev in a ubuntu instance running on WSL. I tried to clone the project on the Windows host system (not WSL) and give it a go:
sbt compile
is successful.3 tests are failing:
ServerSentEventParserSpec
should parse ServerSentEvents correctly (and emit empty events)
should parse ServerSentEvents correctly (and pass empty events)
FileAndResourceDirectivesSymlinkSpec
should not follow symbolic links to find a file
I'm trying to see if I can understand the root cause of these failures.
thanks @samueleresca - with the new FileAndResourceDirectivesSymlinkSpec, do you know if the older copy of the test, (before #445) that was in FileAndResourceDirectivesSpec, passed? In the end of the day. we can probably treat this as something to worry about after the pekko-http 1.0.1 release but we can wait a few days to see if we can make progress on the Windows build.
The should not follow symbolic links to find a file
test fails both on main
and in the pjfanning:rework-symlink-test
branch for 2 different reasons:
[info] - should not follow symbolic links to find a file *** FAILED *** (3 seconds, 21 milliseconds)

The error in rework-symlink-test
seems requiring some settings change in my system.
I agree we should proceed with the release
Unfortunately, the existing build and tests are based on Linux and this works well for Posix users (Mac, Unix, Linux, etc). Our CI only runs on ubuntu VMs. This can be said of basically all Pekko builds.
Windows users may or may not be able to build this project as is. We have no proof about this. Even if they could build it, some tests might fail.
Unfortunately, CI on Windows VMs can be time consuming to set up and in my experience can often be more brittle.
Windows users do have the choice to use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Subsystem_for_Linux or to use solutions like dual boot, build VMs on Cloud Providers and Docker Containers.
Supporting Windows would be nice but we probably need Windows users to drive this.
