Can't get it to work on Windows (Cygwin, Babun, Fish shell)

Closed this issue · 3 comments

Hi!

I'd love to run speedline on my CLI on Windows (not PowerShell). I'm running Cygwin via Babun and Fish Shell, though the problem persists on other Cygwin-based shells on my system, too (MSYS2, Bash, ZSH).

Sadly, the process fails to run under Cygwin/WIN currently. Here's the error message for the default command:

capture1

And there's another error when trying to run with the -pretty parameter. I don't know if those 2 errors are related. I've tried both relative & absolute paths to the timeline JSON.

Am I missing dependencies or is a lib under WIN behaving differently from OSX?

Thank you for your help!

Hey @technopagan,
For the first error, can you share the timeline file causing this error ? I will try to repro on my machine.
Concerning the second error, the cli accepts this format speedline <timeline path> [params]. You just have to put the --pretty at the end.

By the way, what version of node are you using?

Hi again!

Sorry for taking so long to reply! I've tried SpeedLine again now & got it to work. Since I'm using Chromium Nightly I assume my bug was caused by a quirk in the nightly build back then. Closing this issue now.
