create-testbed does not work (on Windows)

[MrGung]

Setting up the project locally I've tried go test in Powershell:

> go test
./create-testbed C:\Users\Steffen\AppData\Local\Temp\TestStartDoneCoAuthors2988483707\001

exec: "./create-testbed": file does not exist
exit status 1
FAIL    github.com/remotemobprogramming/mob/v3  0.350s

I then switched to git-bash, getting:

$ go test
./create-testbed C:\Users\Steffen\AppData\Local\Temp\TestStartDoneCoAuthors2249576695\001

exec: "./create-testbed": file does not exist
exit status 1
FAIL    github.com/remotemobprogramming/mob/v3  0.319s

The directory mentioned in the run of git-bash exists, though.

[simonharrer]

Can you run the testbed script manually?

[seanpoulter]

Would you like me to set up a CI build on Windows @simonharrer so we can try to get ahead of these?

[simonharrer]

@seanpoulter yeah, having the tests in the CI pipeline also run on windows would be great. Go ahead. Reach out if you need any credentials to try it out.

[MrGung]

I took the cmdline printed to console and executed it manually in git bash:

$ ./create-testbed C:\Users\Steffen\AppData\Local\Temp\TestStartDoneCoAuthors1861818797\001

Before calling run(t, "./create-testbed", tempDir) - shouldn't there be an output via say("Creating testbed in temporary directory " + tempDir)?

[simonharrer]

Frel free to add this additional say.

[MrGung]

It's there - it just doesn't print.

[simonharrer]

Any way we can fix this script, so it'll work on both unix and windows systems? Replacing backslashes with normal slashes at the start of the shellscript?

[MrGung]

Thought about converting it to Go... :-)

[gregorriegler]

So the Goal is to rewrite the Testbed in Go, so that it can be run on all OS

[hollesse]

The testbed is converted to go and therefore should run on windows now
