ok so I was supposed to use the root project to download and setup the core and plugin interface projects. I tried to do it but couldn't because of my windows machine, you described something about wsl2 in the docs but I also couldn't do it

Yeah, you need to run

loadModules

and to do that you'd need access to bash

I did install it but couldn't figure my way around it. I run the bash commands from the loadModules file but i get

/bin/bash : The term '/bin/bash' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable

hmm, did you run that inside the wsl terminal? that error looks like its from the normal windows one.

Yeah thanks now the command works. but it seems the url formatting is wrong somehow. The message shown is

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/Jarjanazy /supertokens-core.git/': U

it seems to add a space after

Jarjanazy

. thoughts ?

can you check if the space is present in

modules.txt

?

I did check it, it seems in alignment with your docs. I didn't see a space there.

does the script work if you reset the modules.txt first? (

git checkout modules.txt

)

nope, I get

sorry for the late answer

thanks @User it works when I clone the repos manually. I am having troubles with running the unit tests though, something related with

Cannot run program "cp" (in directory "..")

I think it's a Windows related thing.

well, you really need wsl or some kind of bash to run these things. basically anywhere the guide tells you to run something you should run it with bash

Yeah, I think we should refactor those tests to be OS independent though, that will be on the top my list I think 😄

That'd be great 😄 although, with wsl and stuff like gitbash and cygwin it's fairly OS independent

yeah I agree, but unit tests should be isolated units, do you think it's worth the trouble to refactor those tests? I think it is 😄
