I don't have a windows device or vm. Can someone update the tests to make sure they run?
Also, do we want to support Windows?

So it's just some completion tests that fail on Windows? It should be possible to fix that.
Years ago, I've also used todo.sh on Windows / Cygwin, and I still remember that the tests succeeded back then. Extending the test coverage to Windows would be great; I think some folks have installed Cygwin just for that.
I also don't have easy access to a Windows + Cygwin system any longer; maybe I'll still find some system.
I was able to run the tests on a Microsoft Windows Server 2018 system (so actually quite close to the Windows 2019 used by the CI), with Cygwin 64-bit. All tests succeeded!
Looking more closely, I think the CI is just using the Bash that's provided with Git, and the corresponding mingw32 tools (unfortunately, Bash doesn't identify itself, but I see mingw32-make
).
For me, in the past, todo.sh on Windows always meant Cygwin. I'm not sure whether there's a Windows + Cygwin system available for CI; bootstrapping Cygwin each time doesn't sound attractive. On the other hand, mingw32 might be sufficient to run todo.sh (maybe with some adaptations to the tests); I think I can obtain another Windows VM with Git Bash; will check on Monday.
windows-latest
is Microsoft Windows Server 2019 with the following installed. https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/blob/main/images/win/Windows2019-Readme.md
Bash 4.4.23(1)-release
Looking at the test for make test
, it looks like it is running on PowerShell. https://github.com/todotxt/todo.txt-cli/pull/352/checks?check_run_id=3244083563#step:5:3
