Hello World example broken in Windows Powershell 7?

Open pkiff opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

The "Hello World!" example in Starting your first app doesn't seem to work in a Windows Powershell 7 terminal?

There seem to be two issues.

First, I wasn't able to cut and paste the lando init commands from the code example (with line breaks included) into Powershell as the line breaks throw a warning, and then later in the build, an error:

# Initialize a basic LAMP stack using the cwd as the source
lando init \
  --source cwd \
  --recipe lamp \
  --webroot . \
  --name hello-lando

These commands need to be placed on a single line or coded in some other way. This line worked for me: lando init --source cwd --recipe lamp --webroot . --name hello-lando

Second, Powershell doesn't seem to include an "open" command? To open the website URL in Powershell, I had to use "start" instead.

# Visit the local site
open https://hello-lando.lndo.site
