Can't build Windows 10 package #355

Closed gspassky closed 3 years ago

gspassky commented 4 years ago

PWABuilder CLI isn't working for generating Windows 10. On the website (pwabuilder.com) I can generate some package for Windows, but I can't submit it because App name is wrong. So I want to generate it manually with the CLI. But when I try to make a package for Win10 platform - nothing happens. Looks like this feature is not supported anymore?

I've tried anything... For example, tried to install platform manually: pwabuilder platform add windows10 https://github.com/pwa-builder/pwabuilder-windows10

Nothing happens. No errors, but no result

Tried to run pwabuilder https://mywebsite.com -d C:\pwa -l info -p windows10

Generates some folders, but they are empty

When I run simple pwabuilder https://mywebsite.com

Many files are created, including Android platform, Cordova... But no Windows10...

From the pwabuilder.com website, when you generate the Windows package, you can click "Download" to download the files, at which time you're free to edit them:

Will that work for you?

Our CLI tools don't get as much love as the website. The Windows 10 packaging is undergoing heavy rewrite to take advantage of Chromium-based Edge, so it's not likely the CLI will see a fix for this.

@JudahGabriel Thanks for your feedback. Of course I've downloaded source files and planned to change icons and rebuild a package for MS Store. But there is no way to rebuild! I don't have Visual Studio (and don't want to buy it - only for one operation). Pwabuilder CLI doesn't work. Is there any other option?

You can run pwabuilder https://fillin.app -p windows10 and you'll see nothing happens. Also nothing happens when I try to build a package from files generated by pwabuilder.com...

Visual Studio Community is free. I'd suggest trying that.

Because we're reworking the Windows platform to use the new Chromium-based Edge, the CLI issue for Win10 platform isn't likely to be fixed.
