Description

  • I am on the latest Hyper.app version
  • I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate
  • OS version and name: Ubuntu 18.04 / WSL2.0 / Win 10

Hey guys so I've been messing around with the config and created a CSS monster but im at a point where I can't really do what I want without some JS. I can make a local plugin and get it to work fine but I know Im missing out on a lot of info not running dev mode. I'm pretty 'new' so forgive me for any super obvious glaring things I've overlooked.

I keep all my development stuff inside WSL running Ubuntu 18.04, and don't have it doubled over into windows (so no git, node, npm, yarn etc on the windows side). I forked the repository, cloned it, installed the dependencies and built. yarn run dev does its thing and waits for the app to be launched, So I figured this was going to be a problem but I tried it anyway, but I basically only have the command line for linux, so I need to be able to run the hyper dev build inside windows.

Im just wondering if anyone has any idea if this is possible or not? I'm going to tinker around but im guessing it has something to do with the build config and tricking it to build for windows rather than linux? and then seeing if I can run an executable from the linux mnt in windows..

Thanks guys, I appreciate any advice
