`pc run` fails on WSL2

[matt-grain]

Hi,

OS: Ubuntu on WSL2 on Win10 Env: virtualenv with pynecone installed NodeJS 16.18.1 Python 3.8.10

I just tried pynecone (pc init and pc run) and I have this error:

(.venv) matt@wsl2:~/projects/git/pynecone$ pc init

Any idea

[matt-grain]

ok, a subdirectory is needed....

Hey! I think the issue is that you named your project pynecone. This makes the imports get confused - try naming it something else.

This has been a common issue actually, I'll make a warning in the next version to catch this.

[matt-grain]

ah ah good point :D Thanks !

[matt-grain]

Thanks works well now from WSL!

[picklelo]

Oh, how did you resolve the host issue, I'm curious

Glad to hear its working though!

What host issue? WSL will automaticlly let the virtual machine use host network, it behaviors just like host network in Docker, I think.

So type http://localhost:3000 and it just work.

[matt-grain]

Nah, not sure what happened (some firewall issue.. thanks McAfee), it works using the WSL eth0 IP address (http://172....:3000)

@FHU-yezi thanks, I did not know WSL localhost was directly available to windows! Thanks :D
