Not able to get started on Windows

[KirstieJane]

Hi, thank you for the great tool. It looks fantastically useful.

I'm having difficulty getting set up on windows and I wonder if that's because a) this plugin doesn't work on windows, or 2) if I need some additional plugins/libraries installed?

• I've installed the plugin and it appears in my atom packages lists ✔️

• I've opened the GitHub project from windows powershell by typing atom me-ica ✔️

• I've added the following text to the end of the README.md file ✔️

    ## Contributors      
    <!-- Contributors START
    Kirstie_Whitaker KirstieJane https://whitakerlab.github.io doc
    Elizabeth_DuPre emdupre http://emdupre.me/ doc code testing
    Contributors END -->
    <!-- Contributors table START -->
    <!-- Contributors table END -->
    This project follows the [all-contributors](https://github.com/kentcdodds/all-contributors) specification.
  

• But when I click run or ctrl+alt+p nothing happens ❌

Any thoughts? Thank you again!

Hey @KirstieJane
Thanks for reaching out!
I don't think think atom packages are OS specific. They are platform agnostic (for most cases)
Can you check whether the shortcut bindings (ctrl+alt+p) are bound to this plugin on your editor?

Hi @mbad0la! I looked through the Keybindings settings and get:

'ctrl-alt-p': 'allcontributors:transform'.

So I think that's right? Thank you for the help!

The package has dependencies on the following API methods :

• repositoryForDirectory
• getOriginURL

As these API methods are specific to git repositories, I think the only place the code might break would be because of logic around the above mentioned methods

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I'll debug this on windows soon!
(You can of-course hack around and let me know if you find the cause 😛 )

Thank you @mbad0la! I don't know anything about building packages for atom so I don't think I'll be much help, but I'm very happy to test out any updates etc if that's helpful 😄.

No great rush, I made a table based on the readme from this repo that was super easy to edit, so you've already helped out a lot!

@KirstieJane @mbad0la Hi, I'm also facing similar issues! Let me know if they're fixed, thanks.

Someone from the org will take a look at it next weekend. Atom has been notoriously buggy with Windows. I hope it turns out to be an easy fix ...
