Fake WSL environment

A fake WSL environment for preforming WSL specific tasks in Docker or CI.

https://hub.docker.com/r/patrick330602/fake_wsl_env/

To download the image, run docker pull patrick330602/fake_wsl_env

To build locally, clone the repo and run docker -t <whatever-the-name-you-want> . in the folder.

Why?

Why not?

Well, because there is currently not a good way to test WSL-related projects on most CI, since:

• Windows Server Docker do not support installing WSL feature(asks for reboot but will hang on reboot);
• All CIs do not provide WSL support, including AppVeyor(Issue #1295).
  • Currently, AppVeyor have started testing WSL on CI. You can request a test from the above link.
