React-admin: run demo on Windows

[maicss]

env:

Windows 10;
node: 10.5
yarn 1.7
react-admin: 2.1.2

use Powershell

steps:

• clone
• cd react-admin
• yarn
• cd ./example/demo
• (set REACT_APP_DATA_PROVIDER=rest) ; (yarn start)

result:

Failed to compile
./src/fakeServer/graphql.js
Module not found: Can't resolve 'data-generator' in 'E:\code\work\react-admin\examples\demo\src\fakeServer'

I tried use absolute path, bu it seems so many package use this way...

How do I run this demo right?

PS: with ubuntu 18.04, it works fine.

We don't have Windows, so if you're interested in running the project on that platform, feel free to modify our makefile and open a PR. But we won't support it, so I'm closing this issue.

@maicss
Have you tried by installing the Windows Subsystem for Linux ?

[djhi]

You get this error because running yarn is not enough. You have to build every project before running the demo. You can find the commands to do so inside the makefile

We decided to make it easier to work on this project on all platforms. We will convert all our makefile commands as package scripts and keep our precious makefile for people who can run it.

In the mean time, the easiest way (not the quickest though) is to install the Windows Subsystem for Linux and run sudo apt install make. You can then use all our makefile commands.

I reopen this issue until we make the migration to package scripts
