UI Failed when build from source: electron/www/index.html does not exist

[bkushigian]

I'm on Window's 11. I ran instructions from the README:

cd electron
npm install
npm run dev

but I get an ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND on electron/www/index.html. When I ls www it is empty.

I tried building the game as well, but same issue.

EDIT: This might be an issue with sym linking on windows. I'm not really a windows person so I don't know how that works here

Temp Fix: In Powershell from electron dir, run:

rm www
New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path "www" -Target "../www"

Keeping this open as this still doesn't work out of box on windows.

Thank you for reporting and providing temporary fix 👍 yeah it looks like a windows symbolic link issue
I do not have any windows machine so I cannot really look at it currently
