check_exercises.sh for Windows Rust Developers

It is possible to run check-exercises.sh on Windows 10, pointing to the Windows location for your GitHub repository. This is done with the Ubuntu on Windows subsystem.

Enable Developer Mode

To run Ubuntu on Windows, you need to be in Developer Mode.

  • Open Settings
  • Open Update and Security
  • Select For Developers on Left Side
  • Change to Developer Mode from Sideload Apps

Install

Start a PowerShell as Administrator.

Run the following:

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux

Run bash

The bash command now gives you a terminal in a Ubuntu Linux instance. You have access to Windows files via /mnt/[drive_letter]

Example: Windows user directory would be

/mnt/c/Users/username

Installing Rust

Inside bash, you will not have access to Window's Rust. You need to install the Linux version of Rust.

curl -sf -L https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup.sh | sh

You also need to install a cc linker for Rust.

sudo apt-get install build-essential

Running Tests

cd /mnt/c/[path of github project]
_test/check_exercises.sh

This will re-download and build any crates needed, as they only existed in your Windows Rust.
