Re: Will there be support for the MinGW/MSYS/msysgit bash shell environment on Windows?

[huynhjl]

I've had some success with overriding the dirname command and
prefixing the sbt.boot.properties with file:///

See https://gist.github.com/2939832 for the complete diffs between
play 2.0.

This worked for me:

diff -r play-2.0-orig/framework/build play-2.0-cygwin/framework/build

Unfortunately, Play cannot be run from a Git shell, saying something like:

Error during sbt execution: Could not find configuration file 'C:/Dev/Programs/P
lay/framework/sbt/play.boot.properties'.  Searched:
        file:/c:/Dev/Programs/
        file:/C:/Users/Paul/
        file:/C:/Dev/Programs/Play/framework/sbt/

Is there someone who found a solution to this problem, yet? Or will there be support for the Git shell in a future release?

Using cygwin, I had play 2.1.x working fine until downloading the version 2.2.0

[Christophe Marchal]

Adding more details. Using play.bat was working until 2.2.0. Now I get the following error

Error during sbt execution: Could not find configuration file 'file:///C:/Users/Avell%20G1511/Documents/bin/play/framework/sbt/play.boot.properties'.  Searched:
        file:/C:/Users/Avell%20G1511/Documents//src/project/

If you have any idea of what is going wrong, I will be thankfull
