Description

Environment

  • Package version(s): 5.0.0-alpha.0
  • Operating System: Windows 11
  • Browser name and version: Chrome V114.0.5735.134

Code Sandbox

Steps to reproduce

  1. Clone the repo
  2. Run Yarn
  3. Run Yarn Verify

While trying to install windows-build-tools, it says "Node.js now includes build tools for Windows. You probably no longer need this tool." and the command fails.

Actual behavior

Doesn't compile one package. Error: 1/15 targets failed, including the following: - @blueprintjs/docs-data:compile

[docs-data] ERROR when generating JSON docs data: file:///C:/Users/path/blueprint/packages/docs-data/compile-docs-data.mjs:32

Expected behavior

Should compile all packages and run the app

Possible solution

No Idea

Research direction
Investigate the build failure in @blueprintjs/docs data:compile, specifically the compile docs data.mjs file at line 32. Check if the issue is related to Windows specific path differences or missing dependencies. Review the repository's build scripts (e.g., in packages/docs data) for any Windows specific adjustments. Consider whether the windows build tools warning is relevant and if there is an alternative setup for Windows.
