Clay: Failed to exec soy script

[oliosien]

I have executed npm run build, but I get this error (see attached file).

npm-debug.log

Hi @oliosien, sorry you hit this... the first thing that comes to mind was, that you might not have Java installed, but I think I can see it in your PATH...

Can you confirm what OS are you running and what jdk version?

[oliosien]

Hi @jbalsas, I have installed java version "1.8.0_151" and I work on Windows 10 station.

Hi @oliosien @jbalsas ,
I was having the same issues when trying to exec npm run build on my workspace (which is a Windows10 machine, with Node 8.0.0 and Java 1.8.0_141

It looks like Window can't handle RegExp as CLI arguments, so this line is failing:

metalsoy --soyDeps '../../node_modules/clay-+(button|icon)/src/**/*.soy'

The (button|icon) isn't getting parsed as a regExp by Windows system, resulting in the bash calling icon) as a command itself, and then returning an error like icon) is not a valid program

I solved building the project in a Linux VM, even if I'd rather this problem to be fixed soon to go back working on my workspace, instead of a vm

Hey @kino90, thanks so much for that tip! That helps narrowing this down a lot! We'll take a look at this soon!

Also, I had to install Java on my VM, which isn't written anywhere.. I took a while to guess it (until I read this issue) :wink:

[jbalsas]

Yeah, I checked because I thought we mentioned that somewhere, but I couldn't find it, so I'll make sure we add a clear warning with this. Sorry for the trouble!

[oliosien]

Thx to all

@jbalsas @kino90 @oliosien is this still happening?

Hey guys, I'm closing this so we can track this down in question #1056 that is related.
