Build issues on Windows trying to contribute to wildwebdeveloper

[sebthom]

Hi,
I used to be able to checkout wildwebdeveloper with eclipse and run the plugins as part Run As > Eclipse Application using workspace resolution. Doing this now fails with errors because the node_modules is empty. When I try to execute "npm install" or "npm ci" inside the plugin folder I get:

> npm ci
npm ERR! code EBADPLATFORM
npm ERR! notsup Unsupported platform for [email protected]: wanted {"os":"darwin"} (current: {"os":"win32"})
npm ERR! notsup Valid os:  darwin
npm ERR! notsup Actual os: win32

Then I tried to run mvn verify from the command line on the whole project but it fails with:

> mvn clean verify

What is the correct way to build/run on Windows?

[akurtakov]

At least the maven issue is due to the fact that wildwebdeveloper now requires Java 21 so please run the maven build with Java 21.

Ah, true. It looked like it failed to build some Linux binaries on Windows.
