Failed to start psc-ide-server on Windows

[jmn]

I feel like I'm missing something obvious here but pscid does not start. Unsure how to troubleshoot. ?

That's what I get for being sloppy with error handling... Could you try again with v2.5.2 and see if we get more helpful error output?

I can run purs ide server fine.

More swallowed errors 🎉 Try again with v2.5.3? :D

Okay, so it looks like we're running into path issues...

Did you install purescript through npm? Could you try putting one of the binaries from the release page on your path?

(I suspect it's something about the .cmd wrappers that the npm installer uses and that we'll have to do shell expansion somewhere)

Yes I installed purescript using npm.

If I copy the purs binary from a release package into a directory on PATH, it works!

I have the same problem. On Windows 10, installed purescript and pscid globally using NPM. Tried running in Windows CMD, Cmder/ConEmu bash, Git Bash. Doesn't work. C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\npm is in PATH. Also tried copying purs and purs.cmd from that dir to another dir in PATH and still got the error.

@yevk Could you please make a new issue and include the errors you're getting as well as the output of pscid --version and where.exe pscid?
