Gulp setup fails

[ce2kettu]

When I run gulp setup, this happens...
C:\Users\Dev\Desktop\ioweb2015>gulp setup

Any solution?

Hi,
It seems you're running Windows.

The bower task in gulpfile.js is trying to spawn node_modules/bower/bin/bower which is not a windows executable.

One solution would be to spawn node_modules/.bin/bower which is supposed to run node_modules/.bin/bower.cmd on windows, but this is also not working on windows due to a bug in node nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#2318.

In order to be able to run gulp setup on windows, the simplest is to modify https://github.com/GoogleChrome/ioweb2015/blob/master/gulpfile.js#L90 with

var proc = spawn('..\\node_modules\\.bin\\bower.cmd'

Yeah that worked but now it throws error while building.

Yes, noticed that too.

It seems this is the serve function in gulp_scripts\backend.js which is failing.
It tries to run backend\bin\server, which is not recognized as a windows executable.
If you rename backend\bin\server to backend\bin\server.exe, the app starts, but then it fails when rendering templates.

I think the app is definitively not windows compatible.
