Compiler error on Windows when using directories due to slash about elm-pages HOT 11 CLOSED

I've created PR which should fix this as I've switched from MacOS to Windows during development recently and came into the same bug.

from elm-pages.

Thank you for your amazing response and dedication! :)

Hello @y0hy0h, thanks for helping to give context on this issue.

elm-pages generates two different types of files. One that is used for the CLI runner, and another that is used by the Web runner.

I believe the issue you're seeing here is happening from the generated CLI code.

Could you try giving me the contents of the following generated file?

elm-stuff/elm-pages/Pages.elm

If you share the raw contents of that file, that will shed some light on what's going on and be a good first step. Thank you!

from elm-pages.

So that's where they get generated at! :D

I put the content of examples/docs/elm-stuff/elm-pages/Pages.elm into a gist at https://gist.github.com/Y0hy0h/6edba330edbd0e405cf152a2f853ccfa.

No way, that's fantastic @vViktorPL thank you so much for pushing a fix! Just to confirm, did you test it out on WIndows and make sure it works smoothly with this change? I don't have access to a Windows machine so that would be helpful to know!

from elm-pages.

I've tested it in starter by modifing files temporarily in node_modules but maybe someone in the meantime can confirm this (@y0hy0h perhaps?) by switching dependency to the commit from that PR.

from elm-pages.

Yeah, @y0hy0h if you're willing to test it out, that would be awesome!

You can do so with these commands:

git clone [email protected]:vViktorPL/elm-pages.git
cd elm-pages
npm install && npm run build && npm install -g .

Then build your project with elm-pages develop. Be sure not to use npm start in your project as it will use the local version.

One more thing, it's on fix-windows-paths branch so extra step after git clone is needed:
git checkout fix-windows-paths.

from elm-pages.

I can confirm it works, I've tested this with my customized starter project and npm link with fixed version :)

C:\Users\wtopo\Desktop\Projects\homepage>npm start

> [email protected] start C:\Users\wtopo\Desktop\Projects\homepage
> elm-pages develop

I can confirm that it works, too, both on the starter repo and the docs (up to the missing secrets that I don't provide).

Thank you both so much for the code, testing, and insights here! Really appreciate this 🙏 It's really nice to be able to clean this up for Windows users 👍
