[users at bb.net] Possible Windows compatibility problem in www/base

[Yngve N. Pettersen]

Hello all,

I am currently trying to update our customized buildbot instance, and have  
been running into problems when trying to build our modified www/base  
package.

I am running "yarn build" on Windows, in a Git Bash shell, but the build  
failed

I got this message:

-------------------
'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
www\base\node_modules\webpack-shell-plugin\lib\index.js:168
         throw error;
         ^

Error: Command failed: ./node_modules/.bin/pug src/app/index.jade -o

   cmd: './node_modules/.bin/pug src/app/index.jade -o buildbot_www/static/'

-------------------

I have just confirmed that the problem is "/" vs "\" (forward vs. backward  
slash).

Change the following lines in www/base/webpack.config.js from

   new WebpackShellPlugin({
     onBuildEnd:['./node_modules/.bin/pug src/app/index.jade -o  
buildbot_www/static/']
   }),


to

    new WebpackShellPlugin({
       onBuildEnd:['.\\node_modules\\.bin\\pug src/app/index.jade -o  
buildbot_www/static/']
    }),

and the build works.

This is probably a problem caused by webpack, but maybe you know how to  
work around it?

In the meantime I am patching the file locally.
