Not working on windows

[kennedyoliveira]

Tried to use this on a windows 10 machine but couldn't make it work, got different errors, like tests doesn't work, if I run the test script I get the following error:

"C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe" "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin\npm-cli.js" test --scripts-prepend-node-path=auto

> [email protected] test
> mocha

Error: No test files found

Process finished with exit code 1

If I try to run tests via WebStorm

C:\Users\Kennedy\WebstormProjects\xiv-chat-client\test\index.ts:3

Honestly, I haven't used this project in quite some time. I'll try to take a look soon to see what's wrong.

You can replace the clean script in package.json with rd /s /q "./dist" | rd /s /q "./nyc_output" | rd /s /q "./coverage" @kennedyoliveira

Thanks for that, @Yochyo. Does it work for you, @kennedyoliveira?

I haven't really used Windows in more than a decade (since XP), so I'm admittedly a little out of touch and rarely take it into consideration. It would be nice to make these commands work cross-platform.

I just did a quick search and found this, but I'd hate to add a bunch of dependencies just to delete generated files:

https://docgov.dev/posts/npm-scripts/#delete-files--folder

I kind of like the last answer on SO, which is to use rm *.js || del *.js as a cross-platform delete:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48120889/cross-platform-rm-command#67216575

Does this line work for you?

"clean": "(rm -r ./.nyc_output || del ./.nyc_output || true) && (rm -r ./coverage || del ./coverage || true) && (rm -r ./dist || del ./dist || true)",

or this one?

"clean": "(rm -r ./.nyc_output || rd /s /q ./.nyc_output || true) && (rm -r ./coverage || rd /s /q ./coverage || true) && (rm -r ./dist || rd /s /q ./dist || true)",

I found a solution for "Error: No test files found" (running Git Bash on Windows 10):

• Delete file test/mocha.opts
• Add file .mocharc.js to the root of the project with the following contents:

"use strict"

module.exports = {  
  exit: true,
  bail: true,
  slow: 1000,
  recursive: true,
  extension: ['ts'],
  require: ["ts-node/register", "source-map-support/register"]
}

• Rerun npm run cover:check

Also, @chriswells0, none of the lines worked, but this one works both on linux and on windows:

"clean": "node -e \"var { rmdirSync, existsSync } = require('fs'), path = require('path'); ['./.nyc_output', './coverage', './dist'].forEach(fPath => {if (existsSync(path.join(__dirname, fPath))) rmdirSync(path.join(__dirname, fPath), { recursive: true })}); process.exit(0);\""

The mocha config was migrated at the end of last year. I've added the clean command as provided. Please let me know if anyone still has a problem on Windows and we'll reopen the issue.
