Tools should support Windows hosts about flutter HOT 12 CLOSED

The underlying problem is that we haven't tested on Windows. Can you try the following command:

python .\packages\sky\sky_tool start --install '.\packages\sky\sky_tool'

Another thing to try would be using cygwin or another unix-like shell on Windows.

from flutter.

I tried the following command :

C:\Users\sylsau\MyDocuments\Android\dart\sky_sdk\examples\stocks>python.exe .\packages\sky\sky_tool start --install '.\packages\sky\sky_tool'
File ".\packages\sky\sky_tool", line 131
print '%s is not installed, installing.' % APK_NAME
^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'

I use Python 3.4.3. Another Python version is supported ?

from flutter.

print without parentheses is Python 2 syntax, try with 2.7.

Shouldn't new projects support Python 3?

from flutter.

So, I installed Python 2.7. It would be good to mention on steps by steps documentation that Python 2.7 is mandatory.

I executed the command :

C:\Users\sylsau\MyDocuments\Android\dart\sky_sdk\examples\stocks>python .\packages\sky\sky_tool start --install SkyDemo.apk is not installed, installing. 'C:\Users\sylsau\MyDocuments\Android\dart\sky_sdk\examples\stocks\packages\apks\SkyDemo.apk' does not exist? WARNING:root:Failed to write pid file: /tmp/sky_tool.pids

So, I copied packages\sky\apks\SkyDemo.apk to examples\stocks\packages\apks\SkyDemo.apk .

Then, I executed the command and now it works !

from flutter.

Yay! I'm glad it worked. Would you be willing to send a pull request improving the documentation to explain how to get it working on Windows?

from flutter.

Yes, I can. I try to update the documentation as soon as possible.

to run on windows 8 i need made this changes
line 28
PID_FILE_PATH = "/tmp/sky_tool.pids" to PID_FILE_PATH = "c:/tmp/sky_tool.pids"

line 169

ADB_PATH, 'forward', port_string, port_string

line 205
subprocess.call([ADB_PATH, 'reverse', '--remove', port_string])
to
subprocess.call([ADB_PATH, 'forward', '--remove', port_string])

from flutter.

We should fix PID_FILE_PATH to use tempfile.gettempdir().

ADB reverse and forward are not the same thing. :) We require a very recent adb which has the reverse command. Did the old adb forward command used to do what reverse does now? If so, that's confusing. :/

from flutter.

Ok my mistake because I haven't found 'reverse' option on my adb. I updated it and get reverse option now.
Thanks

I wrote a batch file to take care of the "flutter" command: #297
Also, the python script to update packages has been converted to Dart.
