Windows install stalling

[mmeroberts]

I started a Powershell in Admin mode:

I ran this npm init sitefox-shadow-fullstack myapp

followed by npm install On windows I found no make so installed it using choco install make

Than ran make watch and I only see part of the environment set up:

make watch
make -j2 watcher server
make[1]: Entering directory 'C:/Users/.../Documents/projects/myapp'
npx shadow-cljs watch server app
"waiting for devserver.js to appear."
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, rm -f devserver.js; until [ -f devserver.js -a -d .shadow-cljs ]; do sleep 1; done; echo "devserver.js appeared. starting.", ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
make[1]: *** [Makefile:23: server] Error 2
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
shadow-cljs - config: C:\Users\...\Documents\projects\myapp\shadow-cljs.edn

It seems to be stuck at this point

Hey, thanks for reporting this bug. It looks like the Makefile is failing at this step, which waits for devserver.js to appear and then runs it:

CreateProcess(NULL, rm -f devserver.js; until [ -f devserver.js -a -d .shadow-cljs ]; do sleep 1; done; echo "devserver.js appeared. starting.", ...)

Do you know of an equivalent translation to Windows shell? Or maybe I need to build a small nbb script to do this part. :thinking:
