[Windows] duty tasks fail without error message

[laenan8466]

Hi - not sure if this is s.th. you want to investigate as everyone hates Windows (sadly have to use sometimes). It is ok to just tell me to screw Windows and move on. :-D

Very brief error description:
After successful setup, make format fails with make: *** [Makefile:28: format] Error 1.

When running pdm run duty format it cancels without error message. When starting debugging on the command, the error raises from the make script here. In the subprocess command I get OSError: [WinError 6] The handle is invalid

I see that tests are passing also in Windows, so this could be s.th. wrong on my system. Do you have any idea?

Another issue is, that make vscode is not working with that error:

'cp' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Love the first sentence haha.

So, I don't have a machine with The Annoying Operating System installed, but indeed the template from which this project is generated this template is tested against TAOS. Let say the requirement to work on a project generated with this template on TAOS is to at least use a Bash shell, and preferably do so in WSL, where things are less annoying.

Still, when I converted my make script from Bash to Python, it lost the ability to output error messages in some cases. This I should fix absolutely.

Thanks for the report 😄

Can totally confirm. On TAOS with WSL there are no issues!

Close as "will not fix" on pure TAOS.
