windows binary

[lazeebee]

whats the timeline of the windows binary release?

[kylecarbs]

The windows binary is actually very close to working!

I believe the only change we need to make is including the additional files w/ node-pty that windows will output in the Release/build dir.

Edit: As for timeline, we don't have an exact date. We're focusing on improving support for Mac & Linux. If enough interest grows for Windows support, we will be sure to take notice.

i'm interested in a windows version as well

[nol166]

@lazeebee I believe we have a new bundler in the works that should get us one step closer to getting the windows binary working

[MichaelDesantis]

New Bundler for binary has been released! @nol166 Maybe we can re-test this? (I think Justin has a windows machine, no?)

[fMichaleczek]

@multishifties I would like to test the new bundler, where I can find it ?
I'm a PowerShell developper and I need to use VSCode on Windows to develop for Windows PowerShell Edition. It's why a windows or windows Docker build is a requirement for me.

[MichaelDesantis]

@fMichaleczek new Binary compiler is located here https://github.com/codercom/nbin Code-server uses this now instead of Nexe

AFAIK, it SHOULD allow you to compile for any platform where Node.js is supported. But I haven't had a chance to test it extensively yet.

[fMichaleczek]

@multishifties I will try to test this week and give feedback on nbin repo.

Was anybody able to produce a Windows binary? Even if beta test only..

[max-hk]

Any updates?

Is there an expected time when Windows build will be available?

[sr229]

@MaxLOh Windows builds are low priority since there is more demand for ARM builds than Win32 builds.

[max-hk]

@sr229 Vote for windows binary. Hope we can get it one day.

BTW, is there any guides to use code server with WSL?

[ikarstein]

I wait for it too. What needs to be done?

[nhooyr]

#1306 will fix this.

Guys, I am looking for VSCode binary on windows.Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

@DarshanaSubhash We don't publish Windows releases at the moment but you can try installing with yarn. https://github.com/cdr/code-server/blob/master/doc/install.md#yarn-npm

I just tried installing via yarn using the command yarn global add code-server but then upon typing code-server I get this error:

Do C:\Users\Windows\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\code-server\out\node\entry.js exists?

Maybe the path is too long for Windows' file system and the file didn't get downloaded to the folder.

You will also need Python to be installed in your machine as node-gyp requires Python to build.

[mkanet]

Is there a Windows binary yet? If so, where is the download for it?

Hi, I encountered the same issue. The path you mentioned doesn't exist, and I have python installed. Also, I noticed that the script "~/AppData/Local/Yarn/Data/global/node_modules/code-server/postinstall.sh" was opened by the Vscode during the installation. It's looks like it not excuted.
