Windows 10 version not working

[MPickett1]

I have Ubuntu 18.04LTS downloaded as a WSL as suggested in the read me.

I followed the commands, and added a few echo statements to see where it was going wrong, here is the result:

WIN_HOME_RAW=C:\Users\Mike P
USERPROFILE_DRIVE=C:
USERPROFILE_MNT=/mnt/c
WIN_HOME=\Users\Mike P
ls: cannot access '/mnt/c/Users/Mike': No such file or directory
ls: cannot access 'P/AppData/Local/slack/app*/': No such file or directory
Bringing Slack into the darkness...

sudo: npx: command not found
tee: '/mnt/c/Users/Mike P/AppData/Local/slack//resources/app.asar.unpacked/dist/ssb-interop.bundle.js': No such file or directory
sudo: npx: command not found

Slack Updated! Refresh or reload slack to see changes

Most of the issues stem from my Users account having a space in them. I fight that constantly and good ole Microsoft forced me into it.

If I run it with sudo, I get the following:

WIN_HOME_RAW=
USERPROFILE_DRIVE=:
USERPROFILE_MNT=
WIN_HOME=
ls: cannot access '/AppData/Local/slack/app*/': No such file or directory
npm is not installed. Please install before continuing.

My npm version is 3.5.2
My nodejs version is v8.10.0

What am I doing wrong?

[MPickett1]

I got it to work by using quotes around variables where needed. Code below:

#! /usr/bin/env bash

REVERT=false

while test $# -gt 0; do
  case "$1" in
    --revert)
      REVERT=true
      shift
      ;;
    *)
      break
      ;;
  esac
done

JS_START="// First make sure the wrapper app is loaded"

JS="
${JS_START}
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
  // Fetch our CSS in parallel ahead of time
  const cssPath = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/caiceA/slack-raw/master/slack-4';
  let cssPromise = fetch(cssPath).then((response) => response.text());

  // Insert a style tag into the wrapper view
  cssPromise.then((css) => {
    let s = document.createElement('style');
    s.type = 'text/css';
    s.innerHTML = css;
    document.head.appendChild(s);
  });
});"

Thanks @MPickett1 updated script to be scripted like suggested

[Snowflake6]

Not sure this is completely fixed. I just tried this and i'm getting a similar error returned when I try to run it under WSL (Ubuntu 18.04):

user@LAPTOP:~$ ./darkSlack.sh
ls: cannot access '/Users/First.Last/AppData/Local/slack/app*/': No such file or directory
Bringing Slack into the darknesss...

This script requires sudo privileges.
You'll need to provide your password.
tee: /Users/First.Last/AppData/Local/slack//resources/app.asar.unpacked/dist/ssb-interop.bundle.js: No such file or directory

Slack Updated! Refresh or reload slack to see changes
user@LAPTOP:~$

I'll add that there is no ssb-interop.bundle.js in the install tree for Slack 4.0.0 on Win 10 either. So unless this script is supposed to create it, I don't know how it gets there?

[smitt04]

The files get unpacked from the asar file using npx asar package. It still seems like there is a problem discovering some users home directory and slack install location. I am not that versed in wsl for windows. Need someone else to step in
