Missing file

[DumontP]

Installed product versions

• Visual Studio: 2022 Professional

Description

Cloning this project, there seem to be a missing file in the repos (WebCompiler\src\WebCompiler\Node\node_modules.7z)
I would like to understand and fix another and elusive error "WebCompiler error 0: The system cannot find the path specified"

Steps to recreate

Clone from GitHub, compile the solution.

Current behavior

error CS1566: Error reading resource 'WebCompiler.Node.node_modules.7z' -- 'Could not find file 'C:\Users\DumontP\source\repos\WebCompiler\WebCompiler\src\WebCompiler\Node\node_modules.7z'.'

Expected behavior

No error.

Comment

I'd like to understand how and why the extension launch and manage the node update script "WebCompiler\src\WebCompiler\Node\prepare.cmd" (which reference that missing ressource)

7z.exe x -y **node_modules**.7z
del /q node_modules.7z

This confused me as well, so I did some investigation. The node_modules.7z file is created by running the script \WebCompiler\build\build.cmd.
