fix(bash): melos command not found

[abarke]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues.

Version

3.1.0

Description

Problem

melos is not found in the path after installing melos using dart pub global activate melos

Git Bash on Windows (fails)

AzureAD+User@computer MINGW64 ~
$ melos
bash: melos: command not found

PowerShell (works)

melos --version
3.1.0

(Get-Command melos).Path
C:\Users\AlexanderBarker\AppData\Local\Pub\Cache\bin\melos.bat

I checked the the path in Git Bash and the correct location of the bat file is defined as expected:

echo $PATH
...
/c/Users/AlexanderBarker/AppData/Local/Pub/Cache/bin
...

The problem is that Git Bash will not execute bat files directly... so the following would work e.g.

Git Bash

$ melos.bat --version
3.1.0

Solution

I have created a simple fix.

Create a file during install called melos next to melos.bat and use the following contents:

#!/bin/bash
melos.bat $@

This will pass all arguments to the bat file.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install and open git bash https://gitforwindows.org/
2. $ dart pub global activate melos
3. melos

Expected behavior

melos --version
3.1.0
