Webpacker doesn't work when Virtualbox host is Windows (Rails 6) #37

Open lcreid opened 5 years ago

lcreid commented 5 years ago

When attempting to use Webpacker (typically with Rails 6), if the Virtualbox host is Windows, Webpacker (actually Webpack) will fail with: EPROTO: protocol error, symlink.... This happens for all new projects created by Rails 6, and probably happens for other projects that use Webpacker.

Hi @lcreid I use your great box on WIndows 10 and I've hit the error that you described. Adding the code described by the github that you cites to the vagrant file AND executing the windows terminal as administrator (as suggested by Daniel Camargo in this stack overflow post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33186123/npm-install-errors-on-vagrant-homestead-windows-eproto-protocol-error-symlink) fix the problem when yarn install the modules. Thank you and I hope you continue working in this great box project that eases our rails development.
