yarn watch failed

[GracefulTing]

When I clone the code and execute yarn && yarn watch, the error is reported as follows，
Want to know how to solve？

code-server git:(main) ✗ yarn watch
yarn run v1.22.10
$ VSCODE_IPC_HOOK_CLI= NODE_OPTIONS=--max_old_space_size=32384 ts-node ./ci/dev/watch.ts

windows system

Hmm Windows might not like the environment variable syntax. I think we'll need to use cross-env with yarn add --dev cross-env and then change the watch command in the package.json to:

cross-env VSCODE_IPC_HOOK_CLI= NODE_OPTIONS=--max_old_space_size=32384 ts-node ./ci/dev/watch.ts

But I tried this and while it works I got stuck on spawn yarn ENOENT inside watch.ts. I'm not sure why that's happening. Putting the full path to yarn doesn't work either.

[GracefulTing]

Okay, is there any successful running example for windows users, please provide some advice

[code-asher]

Unfortunately there isn't currently an example. Someone will need to test on Windows and figure out how to support it. I created an issue for it here: #3501

After changing to a linux system, the yarn watch error is reported as follows：

PS F:\code\code-server> yarn watch
yarn run v1.22.17

I am also windows system, the same problem occurred in yarn watch, is there a solution? @code-asher

[killmeorgetout]

@GracefulTing did you solved it?

Hmm unfortunately I don't think we've added support for development on Windows 😢

I believe right now you can only develop on Linux and macOS.

hi, is it currently supported for development on Windows? I'm encountering issues when running 'yarn watch'

$ yarn watch
yarn run v1.22.19

There is no official support for Windows right now. This looks like you just need to run yarn though as there are missing modules.
