Development on Windows - Drupal 8 #1001

Open rconstantine opened 6 years ago

rconstantine commented 6 years ago

I am developing in windows for Drupal 8. I have cygwin installed so I can use the bash scripts provided, but the file paths aren't windows friendly. I see that there are multiple nested and branching scripts. Could the paths be made cross-platform compatible, or can they already be used in windows some other way?

@rconstantine windows has added bash to both windows server and windows 10 as of recently. I would recommend trying this method: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about It should be much more likely to work as intended for native linux.

I'm still on Win 7. Been thinking of upgrading. Maybe it is time.

This totally worked. The upgrade to Win 10 was slightly painful, but got everything ironed out, I think. The installation of the Linux bit for Windows went just fine. Had to use apt-get to install unzip, and then the bash scripts were able to complete their tasks - the ones I have tried, at least.

Thanks!

Great! I'm happy to hear that worked for you. I'm sure you'll enjoy the OS upgrade also ;)
