I get this issue while installing, using instructions from https://sail.dev/docs/installation/ build go.coder.com/sail: cannot load go.coder.com/sail/internal/editor: no Go source files

any idea why?

GOHOSTOS=windows

Sail only supports Linux and Darwin. If you look in sail/internal/editor/editor.go you'll notice that it is setup so it only builds on Linux and Darwin.

Please refer to #210 and #151.

What is the reason why it only builds on linux and darwin? Is there a specific thing that is blocking it from being built on windows? beside the derivatives at the top of the file

[deansheather]

Not sure. It's probably because most Linux distros (and Darwin) include vim out of the box. Windows doesn't have vim or any other good editor out of the box.

I don't think there's anything preventing it from being built or ran on Windows. Just need to try and see what happens.

[Merith-TK]

I actually modified the parts the make it freak out, and gives me a random syscall error thing, will post outputs once windows finishes updating.

Also, why not use the default EDITOR variable on Linux environments? All Msys is, is pretty much a file system (as loose as that term can be used) compatibility between windows and Linux,

It already uses the EDITOR env var.
