Fails to start on Windows

[nielsvanvelzen]

I tried upgrading one of my projects to vuepress-next today and unfortunately the dev server does not work on Widows. Running the same command in WSL works perfectly fine.

Version

Vuepress 2.0.0-alpha.5

Reproduce

Run yarn vuepress dev in a Vuepress project on Windows.

Thanks for report. We'll test on Windows soon

I got the same error when starting a new vuepress@next project on Windows 10. I tried both npm and yarn.

v2.0.0-alpha.7 should work well on windows now. Let me know if you meet any problems.

A known issue is the displayed url http://0.0.0.0:8080 should be replaced by http://localhost:8080, which will be fixed in next version

Thanks for the quick fix. I just tested it and it works with alpha.7!

This is to confirm the issue is resolved in v2.0.0-alpha.7!
