Deploy.js is not right

[MrDChristop]

Hi the below does not make sense in deployDevMode
execSync('defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.15 PlayerDebugMode 1', {stdio:[0,1,2]})
execSync('defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.14 PlayerDebugMode 1', {stdio:[0,1,2]})
execSync('defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.13 PlayerDebugMode 1', {stdio:[0,1,2]})
execSync('defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.12 PlayerDebugMode 1', {stdio:[0,1,2]})
execSync('defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.11 PlayerDebugMode 1', {stdio:[0,1,2]})
execSync('defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.10 PlayerDebugMode 1', {stdio:[0,1,2]})
execSync('defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.9 PlayerDebugMode 1', {stdio:[0,1,2]})
execSync('defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.8 PlayerDebugMode 1', {stdio:[0,1,2]})
execSync('defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.7 PlayerDebugMode 1', {stdio:[0,1,2]})
execSync('defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.6 PlayerDebugMode 1', {stdio:[0,1,2]})
execSync('defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.5 PlayerDebugMode 1', {stdio:[0,1,2]})
execSync('defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.4 PlayerDebugMode 1', {stdio:[0,1,2]})

The CSXS goes as much as 9 (CC2019 has CEP 9).
And it does not seem to work on windows. Failing permissions.
Do you test on Windows?

I see that the current command is only for MA. Yeah Mac rulz but i need it for windows.
Until this is fixed i propose you skip this step for windows

[MrDChristop]

I did create a patch for that.
I created a windows batch command which queries the registry in windows and if the CSXS entry exists meaning the product is installed the debug flag is set.

The solution to the install path is that you can install the extension per user without priviledge problems.
C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe<CEPVersion>\extensions\

function resolveExtensionFolder() {
    if (isWindows) {
        //return 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Common Files\\Adobe\\CEP\\extensions';
        return os.userInfo().homedir+"\\AppData\\Roaming\\Adobe\\CEP\\extensions\\";
    } else {
        return path.join(os.homedir(), 'Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions')
    }
}

@MrDChristop

Hi, I have the same problem on Windows too

I have fixed the following issues:

Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, symlink ...

Because some directories doesn't exist

Error: Command failed: defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.15 PlayerDebugMode 1

This command does not exist on Windows

I will create a PR soon :)
