Executable not found in path on Windows about fasttext.js HOT 7 CLOSED

Hey @feernando998

Honestly, I can't remember what was my final thought on this... I think that I ended changing the exe name for my local installation since the deployed image was based on Linux and didn't need correction. This enabled me to develop on my local and then I could check on the image built that everything was fine.

Got it, thanks for answering me!

@feernando998 @MarcDelp thank you guys, feel free to submit a PR to fix this issue, currently I do not have a Windows machine to test it, but if you can submit a PR, so that it will go in in the repo.

Thanks a lot.

@MarcDelp yes code it is ok, but for MS windows the support is out dated.
The win32 executable is provided in /lib/bin/win32 folder and yes just try to change the name to fastText.exe as executable file path. Windows support for 32 bit applications in 64bit OS it's ok, so it should work.

Hi !

Node version: 12.13.1
OS: Windows 10

I'm trying to create a simple fastText model for text classification, but the lib is not working fine on Windows. As soon as I add this code:

const fastText = new FastText({
      serializeTo: './models/fastText',
      trainFile: './trainingData.txt'
});

I have the error:

Error: executable not found in path
    at new FastText (C:\Users\madelpech\[...]\node_modules\fasttext.js\lib\index.js:104:23)

I have looked to the code and in the index.js file line 99 you are calling . I have checked the binaries and it appears that the Windows binary is not named but instead. This should be the issue here.this._options.bin = Util.GetBinFolder('fasttext');``fasttext``fastText.exe

Can you have a look and tell me if I am right?

Thanks!
