Describe the bug
Hello, I've been unable to get the stacked_cli
to work on Windows 10. Whenever I run the cli with stacked ...
it gives an error:
Unhandled exception:
Bad state: The "HOME" environment variable is not set. This package (and POSIX) requires that HOME be set.
I seen this and this, but as you can see below trying the local version didn't help and my Dart version shouldn't be a problem: Dart SDK version: 3.2.0 (stable) (Tue Nov 14 18:26:59 2023 +0000) on "windows_x64"
Have any ideas what is causing the issue?
To reproduce
Following the docs, I ran the command to activate the cli. However, after the error I continued like so:
PS C:\Users\Acer> dart pub global activate stacked_cli
Package stacked_cli is currently active at version 1.12.1.
The package stacked_cli is already activated at newest available version.
To recompile executables, first run `dart pub global deactivate stacked_cli`.
Installed executable stacked.
Activated stacked_cli 1.12.1.
PS C:\Users\Acer> stacked

Then I downloaded the source from the stacked_cli
repo and tried to run it:

Hey,
Is it possible for you to set a HOME
environment and see if it works?
I don't want to delete my home env. Mine is /Users/danemackier
on my mac.
I get the same error.

I remember it working like a week or two ago.
Where should this "HOME" environment variable point to? I am confused, why do I need it now?
UPDATE
Setting the "HOME" variable, solves the issue. @FilledStacks
Why does it require this variable now?
Yes, setting the HOME
variable does work. Thank you.
It may be good to catch the error and prompt the user to set the variable on Windows since this seems to be a requirement now.
@oppahansi it's a requirement for another package.
We store global configuration in the directory that the operating system recommends. That directory is usually relative the the HOME directory, so when we look for the Document
directory that path is built from the Home
directory.
We can definitely have a better message for that issue.
can you help me, how to set HOME enviroment variable. i quite new on this. im using windows 11
Thank you.

Follow there instructions @nabambil :

At the step when you will need to set a value for HOME
, just browser to your user home folder.
Example:
C:\Users\yourusername
Set a "C:\Users\xxxx" (xxxx is u user name) work to me, but, u can need create u project at same folder, u need open a Terminal at "C:\Users\xxxx" folder and create u project here
Create a HOME environment variable and set its value to C:\Users\your_username
. That's all.
This worked for me...
Thanks, creating an HOME environment variable and set its value to C:\Users\your_name that's all I need to do This worked for me well.
