Support Wash running on Windows

Open glennsarti opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

Describe the solution you'd like The README hints that wash works on windows, but there are no Windows builds

Describe alternatives you've considered Building myself - No instructions and no prior art

Additional context

  • Go is supposed to be cross platform
  • WASH plugins says I can use any language I want, so I'd like to use powershell seem as though it's had a provider system since V1.0

Oh also, no mention of Windows on the Roadmap either.

That's true. Windows support minimally means getting the daemon working, and that needs alternatives to FUSE and UNIX sockets.

There's https://github.com/PowerShell/SHiPS to replace FUSE, and we can use named pipes instead of UNIX sockets. I'll add a section to the roadmap.

We also probably need to replace using extended attributes to map a path to an API call.

I have gotten Wash working under WSL 2. That doesn't mean native support isn't going to happen, but it is a means to try it out.
