Developing on Windows
On some Windows OS versions, symbolic links cannot be created without
using a terminal started with administrative priviledge, which is not
recommended for security reasons. Therefore, setup.py
instead
creates a copy of the data files instead of using symbolic links.
As a result, if you are changing the contents in share
folder
under the source checkout’s root directory, you will need to rebuild
the package even in editable install mode. Otherwise, this should not
affect your development experience.
WSL2 and voila
voila
is unable to display when WSL2 cannot start up the
Windows-side browser executable. Unfortunately, unlike Jupyter
notebook, voila
does not have a --no-browser
option
with a tokenized URL you can copy-and-paste manually on the
Windows side (see https://github.com/voila-dashboards/voila/issues/773).
Therefore, you might need to install Jdaviz natively on Windows
to test its standalone application functionality.
