Issue when attempting to run yarn install in code-server

[CaptMorg70]

Hello,

I am attempting to follow the Development workflow in the Contributing.md file.

When I attempt to run the yarn install, I am getting the error:

$ ./ci/dev/postinstall.sh
: invalid option nameset: pipefail

Has anyone ran into this issue or know a way to get this to work?

Running in Powershell using WSL.

Hmm 🤔 I develop on macOS and @code-asher on Linux so I don't know if we've tried on WSL. Maybe it's not compatible with Powershell? Can you try with bash?

Sorry. It is a imgur link. Having an issue attaching the picture directly to the discussion.

This is running bash. Ubuntu is the OS. It seems to be having the same issue. I class mate of mine is on macOS and has not had any issues getting yarn to run.

Hmm...I'm not sure. I found this but no solution. Any ideas @code-asher ?

I found a similar resource and could get the pipe fail command to run like that link.

I’ve tried running directly the postinstall.sh script in the /ci/dev folder and got the same error. This was with bash and with wsl.

So I think it could be an issue with the script in windows? That’s my only guess atm

Interesting...

Yeah, I think you're right 🤔 Hoping when Asher sees this he might have some insight

I am not very familiar with WSL but I tried installing it on a Windows machine and upon reboot it opened a shell where I was able to clone and install code-server without any issues.

My guess is it has to do with Powershell. For me there is an Ubuntu app that it launches.
