Tools should support Windows hosts #16
Description
Activity
The underlying problem is that we haven't tested on Windows. Can you try the following command:
python .\packages\sky\sky_tool start --install '.\packages\sky\sky_tool'
Another thing to try would be using cygwin or another unix-like shell on Windows.
I tried the following command :
C:\Users\sylsau\MyDocuments\Android\dart\sky_sdk\examples\stocks>python.exe .\packages\sky\sky_tool start --install '.\packages\sky\sky_tool'
File ".\packages\sky\sky_tool", line 131
print '%s is not installed, installing.' % APK_NAME
^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'I use Python 3.4.3. Another Python version is supported ?
print without parentheses is Python 2 syntax, try with 2.7.
Shouldn't new projects support Python 3?
So, I installed Python 2.7. It would be good to mention on steps by steps documentation that Python 2.7 is mandatory.
I executed the command :
C:\Users\sylsau\MyDocuments\Android\dart\sky_sdk\examples\stocks>python .\packages\sky\sky_tool start --install SkyDemo.apk is not installed, installing. 'C:\Users\sylsau\MyDocuments\Android\dart\sky_sdk\examples\stocks\packages\apks\SkyDemo.apk' does not exist? WARNING:root:Failed to write pid file: /tmp/sky_tool.pidsSo, I copied packages\sky\apks\SkyDemo.apk to examples\stocks\packages\apks\SkyDemo.apk .
Then, I executed the command and now it works !
Yay! I'm glad it worked. Would you be willing to send a pull request improving the documentation to explain how to get it working on Windows?
Yes, I can. I try to update the documentation as soon as possible.
to run on windows 8 i need made this changes

to
subprocess.call([ADB_PATH, 'forward', '--remove', port_string])We should fix PID_FILE_PATH to use tempfile.gettempdir().
ADB reverse and forward are not the same thing. :) We require a very recent adb which has the reverse command. Did the old adb forward command used to do what reverse does now? If so, that's confusing. :/
Ok my mistake because I haven't found 'reverse' option on my adb. I updated it and get reverse option now.
Thanks- changed the title

Hello,
I follow the installation steps to use stocks examples which is in examples/stocks folder.
There, I executed pub get command and it was ok. Then, I tried to launch the sky_tool like said in the steps by steps instructions.
On examples/stocks folder :
C:\Users\sylsau\MyDocuments\Android\dart\sky_sdk\examples\stocks>.\packages\sky\sky_tool start --install '.\packages\sky\sky_tool' n'est pas reconnu en tant que commande interne ou externe, un programme exécutable ou un fichier de commandes.Sorry, message is in french but problem is that sky_tool is not known as an executable. Is it normal ? sky_tool is not supported on Windows 8 ?
Thanks for your help.
