Unbale to use rest.nvim in windows10
I have installed rest.nvim under Linux and it workd pretty fine(but it also need some extra steps to solve luarocks problem), but due to poor support of luarocks for Windows, lua-curl just can't be installed, thus this plugin can not work under windows, I can't switch to Linux or WSL because Windows10 is my only option at workplace
BTW, here why I can't install `lua-curl':
Warning: Failed searching manifest: Failed loading manifest: Failed fetching manifest for http://luarocks.org/repositories/rocks
Error: No results matching query were found.
I have tried
- 'all-in-one' lua for Windows
- just rely on 'luarocks.nvim'
- install luarocks separately and use it to install and compile
lua-curl(by install 32/64 curl for windows and provide its header file), and of course, luarocks compilation break down
none of these method worked
I understand it is not the plugin's problem, but luarocks did a pretty bad job about Windows(even for Linux because a package manager needs to rely on a static curl directory to complie lua-curl), we may not depend too much on it(it's just my personal thought)
Anyway, thanks for your work, rest.nvim is by far the most REST cli I would like to try during my real work, it provides enough flexibility for my requirement
Anyone succeeded installed rest.nvim under Windows PowerShell would be greatly appreciated if you can share you config or procedures!
On the same boat was able to get lua-curl to install but rest.nvim still doesn't recognize it. Currently it's in the folder structure luarock/current/rocks/lua-curl.
Since v3 release, rest.nvim doesn’t require lua-curl anymore, So this issue seems to be resolved now.
