Bug description
I have Node/PHP/Laravel installer installed by Herd-1.28.0-setup. Setup puts icon on desktop for Herd. When clicked, this starts 3 processes for Herd which sit there and get no processor time. No screen opens. It also seems to startup node.js (multiple processes). I have looked at %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Herd\logs\main.log which shows a number of errors including ... [2024-10-02 12:28:27.746] [info] Starting Herd...
[2024-10-02 12:28:27.792] [error] (node:8772) [DEP0128] DeprecationWarning: Invalid 'main' field in 'C:\Program Files\Herd\resources\app.asar\node_modules\ini-api\package.json' of './dist/index.js'. Please either fix that or report it to the module author
(Use Herd --trace-deprecation ... to show where the warning was created)
When I try to use that command in the VSCode terminal - I receive: The "--trace-deprecation" option does not exist.
Full log file is included - any help much appreciated - I just want to start learning Laravel!
main.log
Steps to reproduce
Install Herd installer for windows ( Herd-1.28.0-setup ) - run and when it shows the Finish button click it. Next, click the desktop icon. It will spin for a moment - then - nothing. Open Task Manager and scroll down to see three Herds getting 0% CPU. Shake your head in frustration.
