Docs and/or software is wrong! #11

Closed carlca closed 6 years ago

carlca commented 6 years ago

macOS 10.13.1 Go 1.9.2

I followed the steps entirely, including checking that $GOPATH/bin was in my $PATH. It failed when I tried to run astilectron-bundler -v. I received the error message:

zsh: command not found: astilectron-bundler

Presumably, an executable is not being built at some point. I could investigate but frankly, I am too tired. I had hoped for a little demo entertainment before closing in for the night but sadly 'twas not meant to be.

Any ideas? Thanks!

I saw the issue #9 about "failing on Darwin" but despite deleting the bind.go file in step 1, I still got the error. Over to you!

@carlca sorry to destroy your hope for a little demo entertainment :(

Maybe something got wrong during the go get.

What you can do is the following:

This should run go install on the bundler.

You can test it once again.

If it's still failing can you print what ls -l $GOPATH/bin outputs?

Don't worry Quentin, I just got some "first thing in the morning" entertainment instead! Seriously, that's a very cool piece of software! Before I look at it closely, I have to ask, in terms of effort, how much Golang is involved compared to other technologies?

In terms of effort, I'd say it's the same than when you develop a website: you spend the same amount of time server-side (your GO code) and the same amount of time front-side (your HTML/JS/CSS code) since all the complexity of creating windows, menus, adding icons, etc. is abstracted by astilectron.
