stylex: Can't get the project to run locally on Windows

I hope to fix everything such that no workarounds are needed.

Quick Update: I have reproduced the problem and identified the various causes for breakages.

EDIT: Ignore what I said earlier, I think I’ve found the fix for the problem. I’ll merging it shortly.

@weti09 Yes, working on getting this problem solved, but it’s good to know that there is a workaround available in the meantime.

@nmn Yes, using a WSL works. But it would be great to find the issue so we don’t have to start a WSL every time.

Cannot able to do npm install on windows machine. My node version is 18 and npm version is 9.8

Can you reset to head and delete all non tracked files and run non install again? git reset --hard HEAD git clean -fdX If this doesn’t work, try to use node v21. Also was wondering what shell you are using?

Hi everyone you can run the following command to build the necessary files check #67

$ npm run build -w @stylexjs/stylex -w @stylexjs/shared -w @stylexjs/eslint-plugin -w @stylexjs/babel-plugin

Its mentioned in the readme for the docs section as well at the very top 😃

Maybe a silly question, but how exactly do I manually build these?

According to the root README, you can either build all packages at once or specify the package name with -w flag. I tried building them all, but it failed (I assume because some of the packages don’t have a specified build command) so I just built the dependencies of the docs app. I did that by running the npm run build -w <package-name> with each of the packages that I listed above.

I had the same issue on macOS Ventura 13.3.1 running Node 18.19.0. Was able to start the development server after I manually built @stylexjs/babel-plugin, @stylexjs/eslint-plugin, @stylexjs/shared and @stylexjs/stylexjs.

Yeah first thing I did. I will also try to get it working on my macbook. Will get back to you with my results as soon I get the chance
