Setup: Failure to build & serve on Win11

[Adrian62D]

Platform:

• Windows 11, 22000.675
• node v16.15.0
• npm v8.5.5
• Firefox v100.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Follow the setup instructions i.e.:
2. Open a command prompt
3. yarn install
4. yarn serve

Expected result:

• Browser opens http://localhost:8080/
• bldrs is shown

Actual result:

>yarn serve
yarn run v1.22.18
warning package.json: No license field
$ yarn build && node config/serve.js
warning package.json: No license field
$ yarn copy-web-asm && yarn clean && yarn new-version && node config/build.js
warning package.json: No license field
$ cp node_modules/web-ifc/*.wasm public/static/js
'cp' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Details:

• package.json appears to contain platform-specific shell commands
• When patching those commands (workaround) the yarn serve command succeeds. However, http://localhost:8080/ shows a directory listing with 4 files (docs/) instead of loading bldrs:

Thanks for your support.

Hi all

After applying further changes to package.json I got it to launch properly in the browser. Great.

For sake of completeness, the current state of the windows-workaround below:

  "scripts": {
    "clean": "rd /s /q docs & xcopy public\\ docs\\ /E /H /Y",
    "new-version": "node --experimental-json-modules src/utils/version.mjs > package.json.new && move package.json.new package.json",
    "copy-web-asm": "xcopy node_modules\\web-ifc\\*.wasm public\\static\\js /E /H /Y",
    "build": "yarn copy-web-asm && yarn clean && yarn new-version && node config/build.js",
    "serve": "yarn build && node config/serve.js",
    "lint": "yarn eslint `find src -name '*.jsx'` `find src -name '*.[m]js'`",
    "test": "jest",
    "precommit": "yarn lint && yarn test",
    "prepare": "husky install"
  },

Maybe shx could be good solution to achieve cross-platform support?

BR, Adrian

@Adrian62D
Thank you so much for the posted solution!
Since the issue is resolved I will close it, and move the proposed solution to the wiki.
