Building Clay on Windows is not possible

[antonio-ortega]

After cloning the repo and following the steps in README, once I executed npm run build I got this error:

lerna ERR! npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
lerna ERR! npm ERR! errno 255
lerna ERR! npm ERR! [email protected] soy: metalsoy --soyDeps '../../node_modules/clay-+(button|checkbox|icon|link|portal|radio)/src/**/*.soy'
lerna ERR! npm ERR! Exit status 255
lerna ERR! npm ERR!
lerna ERR! npm ERR! Failed at the [email protected] soy script.
lerna ERR! npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

This issue is happening on Windows.

Thanks for reporting, @antonio-ortega! I think this is caused by the ' glob expansion not working properly on windows... @izaera, haven't we encountered similar issues in the past?

[izaera]

Yes. And we had to move the arguments to a config file because the escaping is different for Windows and Unix shells.

Another way to bypass it is to create a node script that properly calls metalsoy (so that it can circumvent the shell).

Closing due to inactivity and 2.x being in maintenance. We can reopen if needed or if still broken :/

Hi,

I did check 'yarn build' on Windows in master and it works properly, but the scripts are very different than 2.x

Then I moved to 2.x branch and first I encounter these two build issues:

1. packages/clay-autocomplete/package.json
2. packages/clay-dropdown/package.json
   these two files have duplicated dependencies of "metal-dom": "^2.16.0", and another one in dev dependencies "metal-dom": "^2.13.2", I added same versions for both, but I think it can be removed from dev dependencies.

After doing this I got the issue described in this ticket, the problem seems to be how this regular expression is being interpreted 'clay-+(data-provider|portal|loading-indicator)', I checked this regular expression and looks fine, is matching 'clay-data-provider', 'clay-portal' and 'clay-loading-indicator'. Not really sure what can be the problem on windows.

Here you have the full error text:
