Nice one. Thanks. I made a few small comments.

Did you have any problems… or did you just see an opportunity for improvements?

The description mentions problems on Windows, but I don’t see anything specific to Windows? I’ve updated the title and PR description (I avoid using the term “we” and “this PR” when describing the changes as it goes into commit history).

It does not run on Windows correctly. So far, I've found these issues:

• Checking if Docker is running does not work. The name of the process on Windows is Docker Desktop
• Command open is used to start some programs, or a web page - this command does not exist on Windows.
  • To start Docker, we need to pass in the location of the executable. The location would usually be C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\Docker Desktop.exe which will be incorrectly split by ProcessHelper.CreateProcessStartInfo method

I have not stumbled upon other issues so far to run the project. However, when running the Aspire Host, I was not able to debug the system - the breakpoints did not attach. Any idea why?

Finally: is there any community Slack/Discord channel to join?

OK. I have a few companies building on PlatformPlatform who are using Windows. But I believe the CLI is not used that much. I have, however, seen it work several times, so it’s weird that it does not behave consistently.

Finally: is there any community Slack/Discord channel to join? Could you try: https://join.slack.com/t/platformplatform/signup

PS: Feel free to convert this to "Ready for review".

Also... did you not get a request to sign the CLA? I had some problems, but please do it here: https://cla-assistant.io/platformplatform/PlatformPlatform

[tjementum]

Are there any other rules

I just merged your other pull request. We always rebase to get a nice Git commit graph, so please rebase and force push, and then I think it’s ready to be merged.

PS: I noticed that you signed the CLA in the closed pull request from yesterday. So, all good.

Could you try: https://join.slack.com/t/platformplatform/signup

I am being asked for an @platformplatform.net email address, which I do not have.

Please try again. I just removed it (forgot to click save before).

[PavlovicDzFilip]

Please try again. I just removed it (forgot to click save before).

It is still the case.

[tjementum]

Ahh... it's because Slack is adding @platformplatform.net back. I should change a setting. Try one last time.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Now I need an invite:

My email address is REDACTED

[tjementum]

OK. It's because this feature is not supported by Slack.

But I created an invite link and wrapped in a nice looking url here: https://bit.ly/platformplatform-slack-invite.

Sorry I should have tested before I shared the links :)
