Windows development

[toni-santos]

Windows development is currently a sore point for Nitsig, as we have encountered a few issues when building and developing on it, even after #173. Therefore this issue shall be used to keep track of the current problems and solutions for them, eventually properly annotating them on the README.

After investigating and tinkering a bit I've found a solution for the issue of running yarn run dev:firefox (or the chrome equivalent).
This script is actually executing the following: concurrently 'yarn watch' 'yarn run:firefox'. When first running the script an error related to bunyan showed up, which is a dependency of web-ext. This seems to have been fixed recently (as of 2 weeks ago) 👍. If we ever encounter something similar it might be worthwhile to attempt to run the concurrently's commands in separate terminals.

Make sure you are running commands in an admin shell!
