An interesting mix of "0.0.5" and "0.0.6" too I must say.

[yunxing]

yep, we screwed up the versioning. #781 is proposed to prevent this from happening again...

In the meanwhlie, do you mind try dogfooding our new installation flow here? https://github.com/reasonml/ExampleProject

also feel free to chat at gitter.im/facebook/reason

[OvermindDL1]

Already there in the chat, just not always easy to use without a full GUI available. :-)

Tried the ExampleProject, interesting errors I must say. ;-)

You want that reported to the ExampleProject repo?

[jordwalke]

You can leave the report right here. Thanks for testing

[OvermindDL1]

I have Windows 10 for development at work (Linux at home) so if you need something tested on Windows just ping me here again and I'll be happy to test. :-)

[jordwalke]

What version of NPM are you using in Cygwin and is it a Cygwin build or the Windows one. Also same question for git. Is it ms-sys?

[OvermindDL1]

Sure, information:

• Git is cygwin's: C:\OCaml64\bin\git.exe
• I've also tried mingw's git in the path first at: C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin\git.exe
• Node is the system node (there is no node in cygwin and compiling it sounds painful): c:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe
• The Cygwin is the one built for OCaml, I'm using the output ocaml system-wide.
• The above error happens both within the OCaml cygwin as well as in the global terminal outside of cygwin.
• I also have and use Bucklescript straight, it works perfectly, able to install it via cloning and manually building it or via just npm install bs-platform successfully.

Versions:

$ ocamlc -v
The OCaml compiler, version 4.02.3
Standard library directory: C:/Users/<user>/.opam/4.02.3+mingw64c/lib/ocaml

$ node -v
v6.2.0

$ npm -v
3.8.9

$ git --version
git version 2.8.3

# Edit:  A bsc version to show it is operational from a node_modules directory install:
$ node_modules/bs-platform/bin/bsc -v
The OCaml compiler, version BuckleScript 1.0.3 (Using OCaml4.02.3 )
Standard library directory: C:\Users\<user>\Projects\upstream\bucklescript-brunch\node_modules\bs-platform\lib\ocaml

[yunxing]

hmm, looks to me it is an issue related npm/git on Cygwin when the dependency has a git url. I will get a windows machine to try to reproduce this.

[chenglou]

@OvermindDL1 you might have seen reasonml/reasonml.github.io#195 already. That one's a centralized discussion & solution for Windows. Sorry for all the trouble.

[jordwalke]

Fwiw i spent some time a couple weeks ago to test on Cygwin and things were working for me (though I bypassed opam).

[OvermindDL1]

@OvermindDL1 you might have seen reasonml/reasonml.github.io#195 already. That one's a centralized discussion & solution for Windows. Sorry for all the trouble.

Yep already saw and been following it, I managed to convince my work to let me switch my desktop to linux (finally!) and even started converting others now, so less of an issue. ^.^
