Anyone ever get his working?

I have it working with the win32 version of vim, so I am guessing that the forward slash path might might be breaking calls to node.js.

Error I get is:
Copilot: Something unexpected went wrong spawning the agent

I haven't figured out how to debug this yet (don't know vim internals).

I don't use either of these myself, so I'm taking a shot at generic
advice.  Cygwin vim is going to expect to interact with POSIX-like
things using POSIX-like paths.  It's trying to give you a mock up
of a POSIX universe.  Using cygwin programs to call Windows based
tools can quickly get problematic.

A *potential* solution for you is to find and use a Windows vim to
talk with Windows based programs.

Maybe other people have specific knowledge / fixes for you ...
