Windows Build

[onurozkan]

Hello,

Currently build scripts does not work on Windows.

Is there any plan for Windows support soon? or any hacks/tricks for now?

Thanks.

[Reinmar]

Hey!

How does it break now? It may be something simple, but we didn't test it on Windows yet so I really don't know.

As for Windows support in general, I guess it's a high time that we provide it for at least the builds. Support for the entire development environment is something bigger and far less developers will need it so it may wait (I hope).

About half of the year ago I tested our test tools on Windows and one issue which I found was invalid regexp for Windows.

I guess the same problem can occur here. When we made a config file, we assumed that Webpack will be executed on Unix. So regexps have been written for Unix paths.

If we fix the regexp for Windows, most probably the problem won't occur anymore. It's worth checking.

[onurozkan]

Tried few things.

This is the result of default build as "npm run build"

C:\Users\onur\Desktop\ckeditor5-build-classic-master>npm run build

> @ckeditor/ckeditor5-build-classic@1.0.0-alpha.1 build C:\Users\onur\Desktop\ckeditor5-build-classic-master
> npm run create-entry-file && npm run build-ckeditor


> @ckeditor/ckeditor5-build-classic@1.0.0-alpha.1 create-entry-file C:\Users\onur\Desktop\ckeditor5-build-classic-master
> ./bin/create-entry-file.js

'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

npm ERR!     C:\Users\onur\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\_logs\2017-10-12T10_13_33_333Z-debug.log

Later i changed create entry file script to this; "node bin/create-entry-file.js".

C:\Users\onur\Desktop\ckeditor5-build-classic-master>npm run build

> @ckeditor/ckeditor5-build-classic@1.0.0-alpha.1 build C:\Users\onur\Desktop\ckeditor5-build-classic-master
> npm run create-entry-file && npm run build-ckeditor


> @ckeditor/ckeditor5-build-classic@1.0.0-alpha.1 create-entry-file C:\Users\onur\Desktop\ckeditor5-build-classic-master
> node bin/create-entry-file.js

Creating the entry file...
Done.

> @ckeditor/ckeditor5-build-classic@1.0.0-alpha.1 build-ckeditor C:\Users\onur\Desktop\ckeditor5-build-classic-master
> ./bin/build-ckeditor.sh

'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

And eventually i checked shell script, saw webpack, and changed "build-ckeditor" command to "webpack".

This is the the error i got.

C:\Users\onur\Desktop\ckeditor5-build-classic-master>npm run build

> @ckeditor/ckeditor5-build-classic@1.0.0-alpha.1 build C:\Users\onur\Desktop\ckeditor5-build-classic-master

Done.

> @ckeditor/ckeditor5-build-classic@1.0.0-alpha.1 build-ckeditor C:\Users\onur\Desktop\ckeditor5-build-classic-master

I think we are now in same page with @pomek

[onurozkan]

We can easily skip first 2 problems just by changing these lines. But cgywin required for shell script. Tried on Mac and Windows, worked well.

"create-entry-file": "node bin/create-entry-file.js",
"build-ckeditor": "sh bin/build-ckeditor.sh",

So only problem probably regexp.

[pomek]

const pathToCoreTranslationPackage = result.match( /.+\/ckeditor5-core/ )[ 0 ];
TypeError: Cannot read property '0' of null

Looks like the problem with regexps. It should be an easy-to-solve thing. Instead of \/ you could use \\\\.

[pomek]

And we could detect whether use Unix / Windows separator path in regexp.

@Reinmar, WDYT?

[onurozkan]

changed line to this, solved the problem.

const pathToCoreTranslationPackage = result.match( /.+\\ckeditor5-core/ )[ 0 ];

[Reinmar]

@onurozkan, great! Thanks for the details. Could you make a PR to this package with your changes?

We'll handle the regexp in https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5-dev/tree/master/packages/ckeditor5-dev-webpack-plugin and see if something's left. @pomek, could you look into it?

[pomek]

Yea. \\\\ is ok in case if you create a regexp using the constructor (new RegExp( string )).

[pomek]

Part of the ticket related to Webpack plugin has been reported here – https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5-dev/issues/297.

[pomek]

I applied changes from ckeditor/ckeditor5-build-classic#27 to other builds repositories:

• ckeditor/ckeditor5-build-inline@370d2a1,
• ckeditor/ckeditor5-build-balloon@3c280c3.

[Reinmar]

Thanks for the PR! And thanks @pomek for merging it.

The other issue that we need to solve: https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5-dev/issues/297.

EDIT: Oops, I haven't noticed you linked to it already, @pomek.

[Reinmar]

I've just released @ckeditor/ckeditor5-dev-webpack-plugin@2.0.20 – this version should fix the issue.
