add-from-bower not working on Windows

[stkb]

$ psc-package add-from-bower whatever
psc-package.exe: bower: createProcess: does not exist (No such file or directory)

I guess this is the same thing as other commands not working on Windows, though there isn't really a workaround for this as there's no bower.exe file.

Do you have bower installed? I haven't heard of anyone not being able to use this from Windows before.

[stkb]

For sure :) (installed from npm)

$ bower --version
1.8.4

$ where bower
C:\Users\Steve\Apps\nodejs\bower
C:\Users\Steve\Apps\nodejs\bower.cmd

It's the same in Bash (from Git for Windows) or CMD. I did try removing the first (shell script) file just leaving the .cmd, but still no luck in either shell.

However I did work around it by manually creating a bower.exe shim that calls the bower.cmd file (and putting it in the same folder). Then it works.

Is this not the same problem as with purs? (#34)

Hit the wrong button :)

I wouldn't know (I don't use Windows anymore), but there are other major contributors and users who use Windows so you might ask this on slack/discourse.

Given add-from-bower is removed, I think this can be closed?

[justinwoo]

Yup😃
