`clippy.write` fails on Windows with "The system cannot find the path specified."

[jnhyatt]

I'm running Windows 10 and I have a very simple program that fails to copy text into my clipboard. Here's my MWE:

import 'package:clippy/server.dart' as clippy;

void main() async {
    await clippy.write("joshjosh.josh");
}

Output:

The system cannot find the path specified.

The program then hangs until I force quit.

Hello, Try installing the path package, path: ^1.6.4

From Here

@jnhyatt unfortunately the paths for clipboard "server" are hardcoded (v1.0.0 9ef705f)

Currently you can solve your problem only if you place files from this folder https://github.com/andresaraujo/clippy/tree/master/lib/src/backends/windows

in folder relative to your dart file some_folder/clippy_write_example.dart some_folder/lib/src/backends/windows/copy.exe
