Cannot chose Distro in Interactive Mode
SebeeDev opened this issue · comments
I have only one distro and it just treats (Default) as part of a name, so I needed to use the Explicit way instead of Interactive one.
Output from Interactive Mode
$ ./move-wsl
1) Ubuntu-20.04(Default)
Select distro to move: 1
Enter WSL target directory: E:\WSL
Move WSL 'Ubuntu-20.04(Default)' to E:WSL? (Y|n) Y
Creating target dir "E:WSL" ...
Exporting VHDX to "E:WSL/Ubuntu-20.04(Default).tar" ...
There is no distribution with the supplied name.
ERROR: Export failed. E:WSL/Ubuntu-20.04(Default).tar does not exist.
Output from wsl -l command
PS Z:\> wsl -l
Windows Subsystem for Linux Distributions:
Ubuntu-20.04 (Default)
@SebeeDev My bad. I took care of the german appendix (Standard) but forgot any other languages. Can you test whether version https://github.com/pxlrbt/move-wsl/releases/tag/1.1.1 works for you? It should ignore everything in brackets now.
Now this issue is solved

But when there are no WSL distros installed it shows:

$ ./move-wsl
1) Distributions 6) visiting

Select distro to move:
And here is wsl -l output:

$ wsl -l
Windows Subsystem for Linux has no installed distributions.
Distributions can be installed by visiting the Microsoft Store:

Now this issue is solved
Great this works now.
But when there are no WSL distros installed it shows:
Not sure whether it's worth handling this edge case. Should be obvious that you need an Distro installed to move it. Worst case here is that export fails.
