[Bug]: Windows Environment Setup

1. yarn build error on Windows:

carbon-components: ./tools/copy-vendor-styles.sh: 2: ./tools/copy-vendor-styles.sh:
carbon-components: : not found
carbon-components: ./tools/copy-vendor-styles.sh: 11: ./tools/copy-vendor-styles.sh:
carbon-components: : not found
carbon-components: ./tools/copy-vendor-styles.sh: 12: set: Illegal option -

1. GitHub Desktop error when commiting:

.husky/pre-commit: line 4: npx: command not found
husky - pre-commit hook exited with code 127 (error)

Environment:

• Windows 10
• Node v16.14.0
• WSL (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS)

That did it. Cheers @tay1orjones.

Tested it with the add-contributor stuff on my open PR.

I suppose I should add some text to the windows doc about commiting? Seems there’s a few open issues on github desktop about adding a --no-verify option, but it hasn’t been picked up in over a year so could be a while.

No problem.

I am using nvm. And I haven’t tested other apps interacting with WSL, I had no reason for it before Carbon.

npx works fine in WSL.

I had seen those docs beforehand but it was not an available option in the shell dropdown which I thought was odd. I saw this and noticed they have a beta version of the app, which I tried this morning and does have WSL as an available option. The error did change, but it is still not any significant help.

/bin/bash: D:/Program Files/nodejs/npx: No such file or directory
husky - pre-commit hook exited with code 127 (error)

I also found a few other issues with suggestions, but some didn’t work at all, and others only created different errors. Here had a few good ones. The npx -> npx.cmd gave this:

/c/Users/james/AppData/Roaming/npm/npx: line 5: cygpath: command not found
/c/Users/james/AppData/Roaming/npm/npx: line 11: exec: node: not found
husky - pre-commit hook exited with code 127 (error)

There seems to be a lot of issues around on this topic, it may be that Windows is not an option until Husky or GitHub Desktop propose a fix.
