wet bronze Oct 28, 2022, 2:56 PM

#

ancient jay Oct 28, 2022, 2:58 PM

#

ah okay, I thought this got fixed two wee seconds

wet bronze Oct 28, 2022, 2:58 PM

#

What?

ancient jay Oct 28, 2022, 2:58 PM

#

we have recently upgraded our cli tool to the new houston bot

#

and there was an issue with windows (surprise)

wet bronze Oct 28, 2022, 2:59 PM

#

Windows always has something wrong lol

ancient jay Oct 28, 2022, 2:59 PM

#

aye

#

do you have wsl setup or docker?

wet bronze Oct 28, 2022, 3:00 PM

#

No

#

I tried docker before and it never worked

ancient jay Oct 28, 2022, 3:00 PM

#

oh thats unfortunate

#

sometimes it depends on the machine,

wet bronze Oct 28, 2022, 3:00 PM

#

I can try it again maybe?

ancient jay Oct 28, 2022, 3:01 PM

#

if your machine allows for hypervisor or virtualisation it then works

wet bronze Oct 28, 2022, 3:01 PM

#

Not sure if it does.

#

But lets try

ancient jay Oct 28, 2022, 3:01 PM

#

you can check using task manager to see if you have it

#

wet bronze Oct 28, 2022, 3:02 PM

#

yeah I do

ancient jay Oct 28, 2022, 3:02 PM

#

awesome

#

question, do wish to setup your local machine to have a linux dev environment to work in?

wet bronze Oct 28, 2022, 3:03 PM

#

What?

ancient jay Oct 28, 2022, 3:03 PM

#

I ask this cause it makes life developing on a windows machine so much easier,

#

but to address the problem frst of all,

wet bronze Oct 28, 2022, 3:05 PM

#

Im confused?

ancient jay Oct 28, 2022, 3:08 PM

#

same, I was trying to test the problem you were having on my own machine

#

only to remember I dont have it setup on windows to do any dev stuff 🤦‍♂️ (I just open up vs code into linux and then Im set) but I appreciate that all setups are unique

wet bronze Oct 28, 2022, 3:17 PM

#

What can I do to fix this issue?

ancient jay Oct 28, 2022, 3:18 PM

#

Im just testing this out on my machine atm

#

what version of node are you running (sorry daft question()

wet bronze Oct 28, 2022, 3:18 PM

#

Oh

#

v16.17.0.

ancient jay Oct 28, 2022, 3:20 PM

#

could you try running the houston bot again and at that prompt hit (N)

wet bronze Oct 28, 2022, 3:21 PM

#

at the git?

#

It created the project

#

I do have another issue, after we fix this. Dont need to mix it between

ancient jay Oct 28, 2022, 3:23 PM

#

okay now in your project can you run git init inside of the dir

wet bronze Oct 28, 2022, 3:24 PM

#

#

can you try reinstalling git

#

I think windows did something when you were sleeping

wet bronze Oct 28, 2022, 4:09 PM

#

I can try

wet bronze Oct 28, 2022, 5:02 PM

#

Works now! not sure why that happened :/

ancient jay Oct 28, 2022, 5:49 PM

#

I think Windows decided to become self aware on your machine for all of a second and well, that never ends well.... 🤷‍♂️
