Problem with the "Lime Test Windows" command

Lime
#1

Hey, as a quick disclaimer,
I am extremely new to coding. In fact, I’ve started only a few days ago. So please forgive me if answer is very clear or if I get some things wrong.

Introduction:
Alright, so I’ve been wanting to code for Kade Engine-Friday Night Funkin’ for a while, and one day, I was ready to finally mod proper mods. (With like coding and stuff)
I have watch 2 tutorials on what necessary programs I need.

Programs/needed components such as:
-Kade Engine (source code)
-Haxe
-Git
-VScode (which was optional)
-Setup.bat (Batch file that was needed to setup certain things in order for the game to run)

Main issues:
Now that that’s out of the way, here’s what problems I have been encountering:
When I try to run “lime test windows” on command prompt it reads:
Error: You must have a “project.xml” file or specify another valid project file when using the ‘test’ command.

lime test windows not working
lime test windows not working911×219 5.59 KB

I am not sure at all on what’s happening here.
It is even occurring when I installed Lime and Flixel

Another thing to note, is that I actually DO have a project.xml file, it came with the installation of Kade Engine, but I just have no idea how to make windows find it (if that makes sense?)

Anyways, That pretty much concludes the issues I am having with “lime test windows”
Any help will be much appreciated!
Have a good day/evening.

you need to navigate to the folder project.xml is in.
cd C:\path\to\project
then
lime test windows

When I ran it, It says, “The system cannot find the path specified.”
what do I do now?
Or did I have to fill those in with different names?

The path needs to be replaced with your own project path.

this might help

cd is the “change directory” command

you need to replace “path\to\project” with the actual path

How do I exactly do that? (I’m sorry, I’m new to this)

I see you’re trying to create a new project with HaxeFlixel, here is a step-by-step guide how to do it.

Go to your source code folder in Windows Explorer (the one with a source folder inside of it), and press Shift+Right click. Click the button that says Open Command Prompt/PowerShell window here and then type the command in there.

i figured it out, you have to do “lime test path\to\project.xml windows”, just replace "path\to\project.xml with the path of the file that leads to the project.xml

This is not a common way to do it, but it will help if you’re inside another directory. Instead, though, it’s better to be inside the directory that contains project.xml, and then you can run lime test windows without that extra argument.

Let’s say that your project.xml file is here: C:\Projects\MyProject\project.xml

If you change to the C:\Projects\MyProject directory first, you can run lime test windows without the extra argument:

cd C:\Projects\MyProject
lime test windows
