Having trouble with Haxe 3.4.7 on Windows

Here's the raw log from my run:

In particular, there's this error at the end:

Haxe 4.0.5 and 4.1.2 seem to be working correctly on Windows, so it's just a problem with 3.4.7, I guess.

FYI, after a little messing around i managed to exclude just windows + 3.4.7 from my matrix with something along the lines of:

if: ${{ !(matrix.os == 'windows-latest' && matrix.haxe-version == '3.4.7') }}

Seems to work nicely, heres the full action for completeness:

name: Build (all platforms, all haxe versions)

on: [push, repository_dispatch]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}

    strategy:
      matrix:
        os: [ubuntu-latest, macos-latest, windows-latest]
        haxe-version: [3.4.7, 4.0.5, 4.1.5, 4.2.2]

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v1
    - name: Setup Haxe (haxe ${{ matrix.haxe-version }}, ${{ matrix.os }})
      if: ${{ !(matrix.os == 'windows-latest' && matrix.haxe-version == '3.4.7') }}
      uses: krdlab/setup-haxe@v1
      with:
        haxe-version: ${{ matrix.haxe-version }}

    - name: Build app (haxe ${{ matrix.haxe-version }}, ${{ matrix.os }})
      if: ${{ !(matrix.os == 'windows-latest' && matrix.haxe-version == '3.4.7') }}
      run: |
        git clone --branch master https://github.com/haxeui/haxeui-core.git --depth=1
        haxelib dev haxeui-core haxeui-core
        haxelib install build.hxml --always --quiet
        haxe build.hxml

EDIT:

there is a much cleaner way pointed out to me:

...
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}

    strategy:
      matrix:
        os: [ubuntu-latest, macos-latest, windows-latest]
        haxe-version: [3.4.7, 4.0.5, 4.1.5, 4.2.2]
        exclude:  
          - os: windows-latest
            haxe-version: 3.4.7
...

The problem is, that Haxe 3.x is not compatible with Neko 2.3, so the fix is to install Neko 2.1 for Haxe 3.x.

@joshtynjala I think you can close this issue now :-)

Great! Thanks.
