CLI errors on Windows Subsystem for Linux

[gixtopher]

So in my attempt at using the CLI tools in WSL, Ive come across some issues that I hope someone can help me with.

My node version is 8.11.4 (current LTS)

My npm version is 5.6.0

I am using ubuntu 18.04 on wsl

I am able to do

npx create-fitbit-app testapp

and go through the questions to make the directory.

Afterwords however if I try

npx fitbit

I get this error

(node:282) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Failed to execute child process “dbus-launch” (No such file or directory)
(node:282) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection. This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). (rejection id: 1)
(node:282) [DEP0018] DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.

It maybe looks like its my node version, but when I tried using a newer version I wasnt even able to make the app directory without multiple errors.

Anyone know how I can fix this?

P.S

I am able to do

npx fitbit-build

but that doesnt get me very far.

 Edit:

I fixed most of the dbus stuff hoping that would fix it. But now I am getting

(node:671) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Unknown or unsupported transport “disabled” for address “disabled:”
(node:671) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection. This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). (rejectionid: 1)

WSL isn't (yet) supported: see here.

A minor update: apparently the fitbit devs are interested in getting CLI to work on WSL, so keep an eye out!

What terminal are Windows users supposed to use instead of WSL? I haven't been able to get Git Bash, Powershell, or CMD to work with the Fitbit CLI. I can never get past the NPM install because of an error with node-gyp.

Edit: I've posted about this here: https://community.fitbit.com/t5/SDK-Development/Is-Windows-development-possible-anymore/td-p/4003763
