Rust-clippy: Crashes on Windows

[vasily-kirichenko]

cargo install clippy
cargo-clippy

rustc 1.19.0-nightly (14f30da61 2017-05-21)
cargo 0.20.0-nightly (397359840 2017-05-18)

I think you need to add .rustup/toolchain/nightly/bin to your PATH on windows.

Clippy hasn't worked for me in Windows for a few months. Just checked again today and it still doesn't run on the latest nightly.

Is this a known issue on Windows, or should currently be running on Windows?

@Manishearth can we get appveyor on the nursery? I'll fix it when we have appveyor again. No point in fixing it if it's just gonna regress again

[Manishearth]

@nrc can you set this up?

[nrc]

Hmm, well I'm not sure how AppVeyor works with regards to orgs, I have Clippy CI running at https://ci.appveyor.com/project/nrc/rust-clippy, but not at rust-lang-nursery (it is running the rust-lang-nursery branch, not my fork). AppVeyor will let me login as rust-lang, but not rust-lang-nursery, despite me being an owner. I'll try and get this working properly...

[nrc]

OK, AppVeyor should be back with the next PR: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/rust-lang-libs/rust-clippy

Going to close this as it's an older issue and Clippy on AppVeyor has been working for a few months now. Please open a new issue if there are still problems on windows.
