Translations missing about boundary-ui

Hi there. Thanks for trying Boundary Desktop. We're aware of a problem with UI asset builds in Windows. To work around this issue, the assets must first be built on a different platform such as Linux via yarn build:production. Once the UI assets are built, ensure they are present in ui/desktop/dist and ui/desktop/electron-app/ember-dist, copying into these locations if necessary. Then run yarn build:desktop from ui/desktop on Windows. Have a look at the package.json scripts for Desktop for more details.

Alternatively, you may download the latest official release of Boundary Desktop for Windows.

Hi @randallmorey, thank you for your answer.
I tried what you suggested and it didn't work. Could you please elaborate on the workaround step-by-step process?

Hi @jeanmsantos , thank you for following up.

This is a known issue for Windows environment that we are working on.

The workaround will require you to build the assets with Linux (we recommend Ubuntu) or macOS environment and copy the built assets to the Windows environment in order to proceed with the Desktop client build.

The step-by-step process is as follows:

IMPORTANT: This process assumes you are within the desktop directory boundary-ui/ui/desktop.

In a Linux or MacOs environment:

• Build the assets: $ yarn build:production.
• Copy the /dist folder fromboundary-ui/ui/desktop.

In the Windows environment:

• Paste the previously copied /dist folder to boundary-ui\ui\desktop.
• Build the desktop client: $ yarn build:desktop.

The Boundary.exe desktop client generated within boundary-ui\ui\desktop\electron-app\out\Boundary-win32-x64\ should include the missing translations.

Let us know if the workaround worked for you.
