generating docs on Windows (MSYSGIT) does not work

[dhodgin]

when i run the command
doxx --source lib --target docs

from my folder which has a lib folder with about 10 .js files in it some of which have jsdocs style comments all i get at the output is an index.html file in /docs

when we run this on mac it works fine on our repo and generates a html file for each js file in the lib folder

also on windows when i run
doxx --source . --target ../docs
while in the lib folder i get an error thrown. was thinking i could try generating the docs while in the folder

Did you find a solution?

[dhodgin]

no not yet. Our solution is to generate the docs on a mac and just commit them to the repo and update them periodically for now. hacky but better than nothing.

[FGRibreau]

Indeed :)

Hay guys, ran into this as well. The reason is that 'findit' does not work well on Windows. It seems that 'walkdir' is pretty much a drop-in replacement that works well and has been adopted by dox-foundation as well.

Please see here: mattmcmanus/dox-foundation#23

(If you want to dig deeper: https://github.com/substack/node-findit/issues/5 )

Would it be possible to make the switch to walkdir here as well?

Hi @itamarro just send me a pull-request with the modification and I'll happily merge it!

[itamarro]

Excellent! #16

[FGRibreau]

Done :)

Thanks! @dhodgin, if you could certify it works for you too it'd be great.
