[Bug] Error building pybricks-code

[afarago]

Describe the bug What is the problem? I am trying to compile pybricks-code, yet all I get is errors-errors-errors. output.log Would be happy for a pointer how to proceed - trying to experiment with a few features to add :D.

To reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. cloned rep
2. followed instructions from CONTRIBUTING.md

I am trying to use Windows 11 system. Maybe that is the source of all errors. Prior to this error needed to modify .eslintrc.js and .prettierrc.js to reach this error.

Expected behavior What did you expect to happen instead? Project builds and starts IDE.

Screenshots N/A

Does it work if you revert the changes to the config files? Are you sure you are using the right version of NodeJS? Does it work if you delete the node_modules folder then run yarn again?

[afarago]

For the time being Windows has CR problems with the original config files. Just tried it on another machine, clean install, same result.

As a next step I will be retesting in a few days with WSL2 to mimic linux/Mac environment. BTW: would be great to check -- are any constraints for the build environment? TIA!

[dlech]

FYI, I just added a devcontainer config file to help set up a known working environment.

[afarago]

Thank you, that is definitely helpful. I have tried it with WSL2 on a WIndows machine - same error came and build failed. It might be my lack of knowledge yet, I will try as I have some ideas to PoC.

If there are any hints for building this in a Win machine even with WSL or docker, that is awesome.

[dlech]

If you have Docker installed on Windows and open the project in VS Code with the ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers extension installed, it should take care of everything automatically after that except for yarn start.

When you tried in WSL, was the source code and node modules installed in a case-sentitive file system?

I was able to come over this issue finally! For others trying to build pybricks-code on a windows machine.

WSL2 + Ubuntu do not use any windows directory (/mnt/c), rather checkout under /home/....

• windows based git if would be by default CRLF based
• git local checkout is much faster for building
