I'll test this on my Windows machine in the AM

I tried doing this, but I can't even get t2-cli installed on my Windows 10 right now. I have no idea wtf is going on with Windows

@rwaldron how does it fail?

[rwaldron]

TBH, it's too much to explain at the moment and I need to force myself to be done for the day. I was walking through the t2-start experience, using garbage shell cmd.exe and npm install -g t2-cli and it failed to install. I'll see if the logs still exist, but I have no interest in spending hours looking at a garbage windows machine today.

In other news, npm install; npm link from within a clone of the repo appears to work, but that's using Git Bash. Running t2 list shows a Tessel 2 on LAN (it was setup from my MBP), but there is no USB connection to t2 provision over.

Also, I was updated to the preview build that has Bash, so that's pretty cool. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure it's lovely.

It has been suggested here that the best way to fix is by adding a /etc/init.d/tessel-app enable command to the deploy sequence before attempting to /etc/init.d/tessel-app start.

Can confirm: I was running into this issue. Just running t2 push index.js alone wasn't causing the app to run on boot. After doing the following manually, the app now runs on boot.

λ t2 root

...

root@tessel:~# /etc/init.d/tessel-app enable
root@tessel:~# /etc/init.d/tessel-app start

#752 should fix this.
