@OmgImAlexis Thanks for the report. I'm going to try and install a virtual machine to debug this (I haven't used Windows for the past 20 years).

[OmgImAlexis]

One thing I noticed is the --dev flag causes the build to output nothing. Might be worth adding the debug module so we can track down what's going on.

Hi @OmgImAlexis! I just released v0.1.0-alpha.5, which attempts to fix the linking issue. Let me know if that works for you now.

I'm going to take a look at the bundle --dev issue separately.

[fnando]

huh. That's super strange. What Windows version are you currently using? Maybe that's the issue. I just tried in a Win 11 virtual machine.

[OmgImAlexis]

Okay ignore the above comment, that was my code being the issue.

I guess the output if the build fails should be displayed better and without the help text. Here's the output now that I fixed my code.

❯ npx @fnando/streamdeck link

Ah, you'll need to run a mkdir on the parent where you're trying to make the symlink incase the user doesn't have it already.

❯ ls C:\\Users\\xo\\Library\\Application Support\\com.elgato.StreamDeck\\Plugins\
Get-ChildItem: Cannot find path 'C:\Users\xo\Library\Application' because it does not exist.

[fnando]

This path is wrong. It should not have "Library\Application Support", as this is a mac thing. The correct path for Windows is "~/AppData/Roaming/Elgato/StreamDeck/Plugins".

Edit: make sure you're running 0.1.0-alpha.5.
