pcntl Windows

[curtisdelicata]

This is a bug.

Prerequisites

• [X] Are you running the latest version?
• [X] Are you reporting to the correct repository? (enso is made of many specialized packages: https://github.com/laravel-enso)
• [X] Did you check the documentation?
• [X] Did you perform a cursory search?

Description

PCNTL required but Windows doesn't support this. Manually override and no issues. I fixed by modifying composer.json to include:

"config": {
    "preferred-install": "dist",
    "sort-packages": true,
    "optimize-autoloader": true,
    "platform": {
        "ext-pcntl": "7.3",
        "ext-posix": "7.3"
    }
},

Steps to Reproduce

1. composer install

Expected behavior

Error

Actual behavior

This is a limitation of laravel/horizon, we don't directly require it.

Ignoring this will not cause issues for Enso itself, but does prevent Horizon from working correctly.

also see https://github.com/laravel/horizon/issues/170#issuecomment-433040421 & https://github.com/laravel/horizon/issues/154#issuecomment-366712260 for a workaround

An error during install here helps pointing this out, but it's fine to --ignore-platform-reqs ext-pcntl ext-posix for development purposes on windows. Feel free to suggest a documentation change of the installation steps to clarify this.

Feel free to suggest a documentation change of the installation steps to clarify this.

yes please point out in a big font in horizon documentation that horizon will not work in windows it works only in Linux, it will save people's time.
