File system build error

[kagjerde]

I have followed the instructions to build the file system README, but I get the following error:

$ cd site/

$ npm -v

$ node -v

$ pio --version
PlatformIO Core, version 6.1.6

I am new to building the FS this way, but I'am stuck as it seems like the error is in the source or I am using an incompatible version of the tools. All the CLI commands above is entered in the same PIO terminal window.

You're not following the instructions to build the FS. You're following the instructions to run the website locally on your PC; this is purely for testing while developing the site itself.

In fact, the site never makes it to an FS on the device, as the website's files index.html, main.jsx and favicon.ico are automatically embedded in ("compiled into", if you will) the firmware image when you execute "pio run".

About the error, I think you're running this in a PowerShell PIO terminal window. My guess is that there is something "UNIX-esque" in the package.json's definition of the rebuild script, that PowerShell chokes on. I think we'd need some assistance from @Louis-Riel to further analyse this.

Removing the single quotes from the rebuild script in package.json fixes the error. I've opened #240 to promote this to the main tree.

I've just merged #240. As indicated before, this addressed the issue on my system at least.
