Bug: Functional tests do not run on windows VM #132
Description
We use bats to run functional tests on GitHub Actions.
But the action is failing in the setup only on Windows VMs. This might be a problem in the action version itself or it is not well configured.

I've opened a PR to show how can you test that. #131

After a bit of investigation, it looks like this particular step is failing because tar on Windows has trouble extracting symlinks in the bats source archive.
However, when I fixed this issue on my fork, it looks like there are other issues as well. Since the generated binary on windows is
gitql.exe, I think bats has trouble finding the executable as well as not being able to use the standard set of unix tools (see this and this workflow run).filhodanuvem commentedon Oct 13, 2021
Amazing progress @radiantly . I think we have a few options to move on:
.exeDo you think you can handle any of those paths?
