[CLOSED] Problem with Wiki #11236

Open core-ai-bot opened 3 years ago

core-ai-bot commented 3 years ago

Issue by Blackweda Friday Mar 31, 2017 at 23:15 GMT Originally opened as https://github.com/adobe/brackets/issues/13252

This is just a suggestion for the Wiki:

https://github.com/adobe/brackets/wiki/How-to-Hack-on-Brackets

I tried to follow all the steps until:

  1. Add an "upstream" remote: git remote add upstream https://github.com/adobe/brackets.git

  2. Run setup_for_hacking script:

Mac: tools/setup_for_hacking.sh "/Applications/Brackets.app"

Windows: _tools\setup_forhacking.bat "C:\Program Files (x86)\Brackets" (MUST be run in a Command Prompt started with "Run as Administrator")

Linux: sudo tools/setup_for_hacking.sh "/opt/brackets"

Now, I must be really stupid, because I went into command prompt as administrator and tried running the line of code right away. It would be better to to leave a note saying to go into Command Prompt and find your repo inside command prompt and do all this!) Wasted an hour of my life.

@Blackweda Thanks a lot for letting us know about this ambiguity in the setup for hacking steps. We will update the wiki with more specific info for this step.

Thanks@Blackweda, addressed the issue by modifying the step to:

tools\setup_for_hacking.bat "C:\Program Files (x86)\Brackets" (MUST be run in a Command Prompt started with "Run as Administrator". If you opened a new Command Prompt you might need to navigate back to the repository folder you cloned in step 3 with eg. cd C:/path/to/brackets`) .
