Describe the solution you'd like The README hints that wash works on windows, but there are no Windows builds

Describe alternatives you've considered Building myself - No instructions and no prior art

Additional context

Go is supposed to be cross platform
WASH plugins says I can use any language I want, so I'd like to use powershell seem as though it's had a provider system since V1.0

glennsarti commented 5 years ago

Oh also, no mention of Windows on the Roadmap either.

MikaelSmith commented 5 years ago

That's true. Windows support minimally means getting the daemon working, and that needs alternatives to FUSE and UNIX sockets.

There's https://github.com/PowerShell/SHiPS to replace FUSE, and we can use named pipes instead of UNIX sockets. I'll add a section to the roadmap.

We also probably need to replace using extended attributes to map a path to an API call.

I have gotten Wash working under WSL 2. That doesn't mean native support isn't going to happen, but it is a means to try it out.
