No WSL support.

[bfcns]

Please provide WSL support for Windows 10.

There is a builtin intellij plugin "WSL Support Framework" for Plugin developers.

any solutions?

I love this plugin, really

The problem is that on my most powerful desktop PC, where I use Windows, the fact that there is no support for WSL is really sad :(

If I had the knowledge of Java, I would do a PR, but I don't know the language nor the plugin system of JetBrains... :(

Can we hope to have WSL support soon? I think the amount of work is not that hard, thanks to https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/10024-wsl-support-framework

I'm willing to donate 50$ via Github Sponsors / Ko-fi if it can help some people to make a PR 👀

Running a Windows VM on my Mac laptop is annoying and slow, if anyone knows of free remote Windows boxes I could develop on it faster.

Unfortunately, not free, the only solution seems to me to do cloud computing with a service like Shadow (https://shadow.tech/) and to install WSL.

Otherwise, you have to do a dual boot on the mac, or a live usb (which can be a bit annoying too)

We can arrange for me to pay you a month's subscription to Shadow in exchange for this wonderful feature, if needed

[SirMishaa]

Any up? I can give you a fresh Shadow account with fresh installation of Windows

Please let me know because in work, we're going to move some service in from Ruby to Elixir and the fact that's there is no WSL support is really problematic

If it’s going to be problematic enough for your company they could help by becoming a sponsor: https://github.com/sponsors/KronicDeth. I don’t get any of the money you spend on JetBrains subscriptions.

Hi,

I have started to sponsor for $20 per month for at least one year. Some of my team members who use Windows plan to do it too, when they go to do Elixir (I'm kind of the first one to do it for a new service we're developing, that's why it's important for me)

My offer on Shadow still stands if it is necessary for you to work faster on it.

So, the goal is to be able, with the IDE installed on the Windows side, to select the SDKs that are installed on the Linux side (WSL). Normally, there should be no code to change on the parser/lexer side, etc. The plugin just need to pick the good runtime and interact with Linux if it needs to run command.

I hope it's not too hard to do it!

This is an example for Node, but maybe with the (not really) plugin (https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/10024-wsl-support-framework), it could be easy to be done with this way

Hi! Any update about it? If someone have any idea of the cause, i can try to explore and find a solution to it.
