Notes on running the sandbox on windows - see thread:

[Greg Steckman]

First there might be a bug in the refresh versions plugin that didn't correctly pick up the file references in the versions.properties and versions.rules files in the sandbox folder. So I copied over the files from the base kmdc folder.

[Greg Steckman]

The second item is that the gradlew.bat file in the sandbox directory doesn't work. I need to use ..\gradlew -t jsBrowserRun when running with the sandbox directory as the working directory.

[Greg Steckman]

The third item is in build.gradle.kts, I had to use js(IR). Using only js it wasn't picking up any of the dependencies. This item may not have anything to do with my using windows, but rather something with my build environment. But when I ran the build in an entirely separate environment on Windows Subsystem for Linux, it worked out of the box.

Ah, you need to enable windows symlinks in git before cloning. I hate that windows will always be a special case when considering cross platform env setup...

[Big Chungus]

Or just use git bash instead of cmd terminal

[Big Chungus]

Once you get symlinks working, all of your issues should be resolved (including js(IR))

[Greg Steckman]

ok that worked. Git's behavior here is very bad - it creates new placeholder files silently, without any warnings given.

I can compile using Gradle from the command line now, but Intellij can't find most dependencies in the sandbox - the KMDC modules are ok. Do you have any suggestions for resolving that?

[Big Chungus]

Sandbox needs to be imported into intellij separately. Open Gradle side-menu, cllick +, select sandbox/build.gradle.kts and hit OK
