Fails on windows because of symlink

[trondhindenes]

I'm getting this error when executing serverless deploy on Windows:
EPERM: operation not permitted, symlink '.requirements\requests'

Hmm. Does node js's symlink stuff work on windows?

[trondhindenes]

I have no idea, I dont do node. Just trying to get python to work with serverless in a somewhat seamless way.

[dschep]

Hah. I'll look into it when I get a chance to setup node on a windows box (I don't do windows 😛 )

[trondhindenes]

:-) I got around it by just running the serverless deploy commands in a container, so it's no biggie.
Regarding nodeJS and symlink support, this could be of interest: nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#2274 (I haven't tried running the serverless deploy command as admin)

[dschep]

Ah, that definitely is of interest. Thanks! Current docs don't seem to mention this limitation, but does mention a few others.

This bug can be closed, the current codebase does not use any symlinks

Good point @AndrewFarley
