Originally created by @elithrar on GitHub (Jun 16, 2019).

Summary: A header file - wil/Common.h - can't be found, even after blowing away the git repo and starting over.

Environment

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18917.1000]

checked out: microsoft/terminal@94bcbb9

Steps to reproduce

  1. Clone the repo
  2. Init submodules as per the README
  3. Kick off the build in PowerShell
➜  git clone https://github.com/microsoft/terminal.git
➜  git submodule update --init --recursive
Submodule 'dep/gsl' (https://github.com/microsoft/gsl) registered for path 'dep/gsl'
Submodule 'dep/wil' (https://github.com/microsoft/wil) registered for path 'dep/wil'
Cloning into '/mnt/c/Users/Gamer/repos/terminal/dep/gsl'...
Cloning into '/mnt/c/Users/Gamer/repos/terminal/dep/wil'...
Submodule path 'dep/gsl': checked out 'b74b286d5e333561b0f1ef1abd18de2606624455'
Submodule path 'dep/wil': checked out 'fbcd1d2abb558da4564ce343b688f7a658f51318'

Import-Module .\tools\OpenConsole.psm1
Set-MsBuildDevEnvironment
Invoke-OpenConsoleBuild

Expected behavior

The solution builds & outputs a binary.

Actual behavior

The header file isn't found. This applies when I attempt to build it directly via VS 2019 as well (with the C++, UWP, C++ plat tools packages auto-installed).

It's hard to debug further (I'm not a native Windows developer), but it doesn't appear to be a git-related issue - the submodule sync is done.

Previous issues related to this seem to be based on users overlooking submodules used here; which (as above) seem to be checked out.

Build FAILED.
