Doesn't work on Windows

[ikx94]

Hey, I was really eager to try your package but sadly I can't make it work on Windows. I've spent the last 2 hours trying to figure it out, with the help of ChatGPT 4, and I still can't make it work.

The error message I get is:

"Only URLs with a scheme in: file, data, and node are supported by the default ESM loader. On Windows, absolute paths must be valid file:// URLs. Received protocol 's:'"

I found that Next.js users have been getting a similar error, and this is the proposed solution:

vercel/next.js#64386

I tried changing the IMPORTER in bin/console.ts and bin/server.ts to:

const IMPORTER = (filePath: string) => {
if (filePath.startsWith('./') || filePath.startsWith('../')) {
const fileUrl = new URL(filePath, APP_ROOT).href;
if (process.platform === 'win32') {
return import(fileUrl.replace(/^file:////, 'file://'));
}
return import(fileUrl);
}
return import(filePath);
};

But that didn't work.

I give up, at least for now. If you could take a look, I would highly appreciate it.

By the way, I don't get this error with the official Adonis starter packages.

That's interesting, it seems like absolute ESM imports doesn't work on windows without a file:// prefix. I will look into fixing this.

I don't have a windows PC to test on, but I believe this should work now (fixed in #23).
Could you verify by setting up a new project with the command mentioned in the readme? 🙌

npm init adonisjs -- -K="github:jarle/remix-starter-kit"

Just tried it and it seems to work, it run normally and I got to see the page that says Welcome to Remix
...powered by AdonisJS 😎and the blog posts.

Thank you for that. Can I ask you, is Remix configured in SPA mode or in any specific way?

Nice! The default application is Remix with SSR. For enabling SPA mode you can add ssr: false to the remix plugin in vite.config.ts and follow the remix documentation here: https://remix.run/docs/en/main/future/spa-mode#usage
