Does nbdev work with Windows?

Hi,

I know there is an issue related to some windows errors. I attempted to follow the tutorial using powershell to but it fails when I try to nbdev_build_lib

with the following error:

  File "c:\users\sivaharan.rajkumar\miniconda3\lib\runpy.py", line 193, in _run_module_as_main
    "__main__", mod_spec)
  File "c:\users\sivaharan.rajkumar\miniconda3\lib\runpy.py", line 85, in _run_code
    exec(code, run_globals)

    opener=self._opener)
  File "c:\users\sivaharan.rajkumar\miniconda3\lib\pathlib.py", line 1058, in _opener
    return self._accessor.open(self, flags, mode)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\sivaharan.rajkumar\\projects\\pa-logging\\docs\\_data\\topnav.yml'

when I look at the directory there is indeed no file or directory _data there. Is there something missing? I also created the project using nbdev_new.

Does it work if you try creating a new project using https://github.com/fastai/nbdev_template?

Thanks. I didn't try use it.

But it seems like the issue actually has already been raised there.

So I will close this one.
