I ran into a problem and I'm not sure if it's related to this PR.
I tried running
cd gui
yarn install --force
cd ..
./build.sh --dev-build
and it failed in electron-builder, with the error:
Error: C:\Users\Janito\AppData\Local\electron-builder\Cache\nsis\nsis-3.0.3.2\Bin\makensis.exe exited with code 1

Good catch. The imports in the NSIS script are relative, and the new root seems to be @pronebird What do you think? |

I can fix it as a part of this PR. Seems relevant to making yarn workspaces on Windows

I've fixed this now. Basically BUILD_RESOURCES_DIR points to dist-assets so there is no point in hardcoding the path so I used it instead where applicable.
Unfortunately I am not exactly sure how to sort out the path to C++ plugin for NSIS since PROJECT_DIR points to gui\packages\desktop.
So I simply used ${BUILD_RESOURCES_DIR}\..\windows\nsis-plugins\bin\Win32-Release which expands to {root-path}\dist-assets\..\windows\nsis-plugins\bin\Win32-Release. Not the most elegant way to fix this but many things about electron-builder are not elegant.

Updated electron-builder to the latest but seems like nothing new in there 😕

// Yarn 1.9.4 has a path lookup bug on Windows, when it looks for the binaries referenced in // scripts under '\gui\node_modules\node_modules' instead of '\gui\node_modules'. // This patch adds a junction between those two to keep that house of cards from falling apart.
Is this bug a reported issue? If so, could we link to that issue in this comment? So it's easier to detect/follow up when it's fixed so this workaround can be removed.

If you go all the way up and read "WHY" section to this PR, you'll find the issue link on Github too.
I"ll dupe it in the source code comment too.

Yes please. I would not consider it a dupe. Because in one weeks time no one will look back at the PR comments, only the code. And if it's hard to check if the issue has been resolved I'm afraid the workaround will live forever.

Describe what this PR changes. Why this is wanted. And, if needed, how it does it.
Git checklist:
CHANGELOG.mdunder the[Unreleased]header.WHY
For some reason Yarn on Windows looks for binaries, referenced in
scriptssection ofpackage.json, ingui/node_modules/node_modulesdirectory instead ofgui/node_modules. (Issue: yarnpkg/yarn#4564)HOW
This PR adds a package with no source code that performs a preinstall script that creates a junction between
gui/node_modules/node_modulesandgui/node_modules.Other things I've tried before coming up with this solution:
Adding the same script to preinstall step in root
package.json- it didn't work because yarn removed the junction at some point later.Using BAT file and package.json bounded to
os: win32. Didn't work either because yarn refuses to proceed with installation on other OS. Corresponding issue: Yarn workspaces with multi-platform packages yarnpkg/yarn#6288Please try this patch on your windows machine, after pulling the PR's branch, please run:
If something still goes wrong, please run:
And submit
yarn.logto me in private chat on Slack. Thanks.ALSO
This PR fixes the similar issue related to wiring react-native on Windows. Unfortunately creating a symlink on Windows requires elevated permissions, but junctions are available for low privilege users and work just fine.
