Blank project does not build

[wahur666]

Using Windows 10 64bit, MSVC

I created a new project, no code added, and I ran npm install

Compiling neon-thread-count v0.1.0 (D:\Documents\Git\neon-thread-count\native)
    |
356 | compile_error!("Neon only builds with --release. For tests, try `cargo test --release`.");
    | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


error: could not compile `neon`.

To learn more, run the command again with --verbose.
neon ERR! cargo build failed

Is this just for me? Maybe something mis-configured with the cli?

[wahur666]

Followup, I see that the webpage says: neon build --release,
but the cli output is To build your project, just run npm install from within the neon-thread-count directory. ,
and best of all the script in the package.json has the following:

"scripts": {
    "install": "neon build"
}

So what is it? The default cli configuration is clearly broken, please fix

@wahur666 I'm closing issue since a fix preventing windows debug builds was merged. It will be available on the next release of neon or can be used now by specifying a git dependency.

I apologize that the default configuration is unclear. It was kept since this is a Windows only issue.
