windows version

[ZeeWanderer]

Are there any plans to support windows?

So far with OTP 28 debugger escriptizes successfully, it would make sense to add a CI pipeline for it.

Hi @ZeeWanderer! Windows is not that much "not-supported", but no one in the dev team is currently using it. Help ensuring edb works on windows would be appreciated.

Do you know if tests currently pass on windows? There may be issues around path-handling, I guess, but that shouldn't be hard to fix. If/once they do, we should definitely add windows to the matrix!

There are issues around path handling. Also with invoking edb, because on windows it either needs to be invoked through escript directly, or through edb.cmd produced by escriptize, which needs to be run as cmd /C edb.cmd (See elp initial windows support pr). Also it appears that right now rebar3 dependency fetching is utterly broken when run with OTP 28. Hangs indefinitely in the first dependency resolution. I initially had to remove erlfmt to compile edb for windows. So i guess i have my work cut out for me

also here, the modified pre_hooks, so they actually pass on windows

I guess when i have the time and rebar3+OTP28 gets fixed i will try to modify the tests to pass on windows. Can you push the modified hooks? Dont really want to open the pr just for it
