Hey everyone, are there any teams out there that have dealt with the issue of devs using Windows 11? I know Pants is supposed to only support Windows 10, but we have someone using Windows 11 now and trying to figure out the best solution. I see some mentions of contributors using Windows 11 over the past couple years, but I don't have a way to test this. [UPDATE] • Installing Pants on Windows 11 using Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2) worked

I'm not using Windows 11 - but maybe it would be helpful to describe the problems your dev is running into?

Thanks for quick reply! Ah I had assumed Windows 11 was just a no-go since Pants docs are so specific about OS requirements. I am trying to get set up for on-boarding the dev but will see if he can try it out in advance. Was hoping someone had gone down this road before since so many teams use Windows. Thanks!

I mean, to be clear, you should probably still be using WSL2

Yes I figured that was a must-have - thanks! Gotcha! That would be amazing then, thank you!

If you can give some feedback from your dev, then we could update this line in the docs

Microsoft Windows 10 with WSL 2

Yes will see what info I can get. Thank you for quick responses and help!

👍

Thanks again for the help! As an update, the dev was able to successfully install Pants on Windows 11 using Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2) by following the Installing Pants documentation. The dev has been able to successfully run Pants commands for linting, formatting, testing, and generating lockfiles.
