Netlify build on Windows 10 producing an error

[talves]

Using this example on the local system (Win10) gives an error found in the screen capture below.

Used --dry --verbose to give as much info as possible, but it also fails without those tags with same errors.

Node: v10.16.0
npm: v6.9.0
Yarn: v1.17.3

I'm using a local dependency of the netlify-cli to try to debug, but did not have luck on first pass. Let me know if there is any information I can give to help debug the issue.

[DavidWells]

@ehmicky this is the plugin code https://github.com/talves/netlify-plugin-debug/blob/12806b6b7a97a12a13be257d7ba5332c43fbe79a/plugins/debug/index.js

(long shot) Perhaps this has something to do with the emojis used?

[ehmicky]

We are aiming at completely supporting Windows very soon but at the moment this is likely that netlify/build does not work 100% on Windows. I've added #320 to track this.

Also #314 might solve this specific issue (although I am not sure about this).

[talves]

@DavidWells FYI, I dev on Windows 10 🤣🤣

[ehmicky]

@talves I've added some Windows-related fixes. Could you please confirm whether your issue is still happening? Thanks!

[talves]

@ehmicky got this, but might be me?

When I console.log({ pluginsOptions });, I get:

{ pluginsOptions: { debugPlugin: { type: './plugins/debug' } } }

[ehmicky]

@talves that bug should be solved in the latest version. This was due to us using an old version of one of our dependencies (@netlify/config).

[talves]

running: Found "netlify-cli@2.19.3"

=> Found "@netlify/config@0.0.3"
info Reasons this module exists
   - "netlify-cli#@netlify#build" depends on it
   - Hoisted from "netlify-cli#@netlify#build#@netlify#config"

[talves]

@ehmicky this might be my issue with my config. Expects array for plugins now?

[ehmicky]

No we just forgot to make a new release of netlify/cli. We just released 2.19.4, this should fix that issue :)

[talves]

So, this is correct for a config in netlify.yml?

build:
  publish: public
  functions: functions

  lifecycle:
    init:
      - echo "Starting the build"
    build:
      - echo "hello world"
    finally:
      - echo "Ending the build"

plugins:
  debugPlugin:
    type: ./plugins/debug

[ehmicky]

We changed the syntax for plugins. It is now an array of objects:

plugins:
  - id: debugPlugin
    type: ./plugins/debug
    config: 
      foo: bar

Apart from this, all good 👍

[talves]

Yeah, so that is what I was saying 👆 is I also have an error 😂 and name required in plugin. Good Errors by the way!

[talves]

Back to where we started, unfotunately, sorry.

[ehmicky]

Could you please send the output of the following command?

npx envinfo --system --binaries --npmPackages @netlify/build @netlify/config

Also: are you using regular cmd.exe, Git for Windows, WSL or Powershell?

[talves]

Git Bash, but I can run in any terminal. Not using WSL.

Have a nice day!

I seem to completely reproduce your environment, so I'm not sure why your output is different. Do you have an idea of something in our environments that might differ? Thanks.

[talves]

I'm not using npx netlify build to run the command. I have the cli in dev deps. Let me do a new clone of the repository and see if something changes.

npx netlify build runs! Should it return to prompt after?

yarn run netlify build gives the error.

Since there is a reason and a solution, up to you if you want to support a local dev dependency install of the cli.

Could you please explain what you mean by having the CLI in development dependencies? It seems to me this should not matter whether this is installed as a production or development dependency. On the other hand, what might matter is how the command is called. There are several ways: npx netlify build, yarn run netlify build, in the console vs using execa, programmatically in Node.js, etc.

yarn run netlify build gives the error.

Yes I can reproduce this. The bug is when combining Windows + Yarn. I have opened #387 to track this problem.

Should it return to prompt after?

It seems like npx netlify build currently hangs, which seems to be a separate issue with netlify/cli not netlify/build. I am going to look at that separate issue as well.

[talves]

@ehmicky I have been using yarn so long I forgot that npx uses the local node_modules, so had not tried it 😢. My bad for not making it more clear. I only put the yarn version in original issue and did not give you the command I was using. Hope that did not add extra work for you.

[talves]

Not sure if this helps, but thought I would mention it for your debugging.

Run npx netlify buils (bad command arg) and it will prompt you for the correct command arg; Choose build y as the option and the command does not hang.

No worries! :)

Thanks, that might help.

[ehmicky]

The yarn bug has been fixed by #388.

The CLI command hanging has not been fixed yet.

[ehmicky]

Everything mentioned in this issue has now been fixed in the latest version of @netlify/cli (2.20.1).
