cross-spawn
A cross platform solution to node's spawn and spawnSync.
Installation
$ npm install cross-spawn
If you are using spawnSync
on node 0.10 or older, you will also need to install spawn-sync
:
$ npm install spawn-sync
Why
Node has issues when using spawn on Windows:
- It ignores PATHEXT
- It does not support shebangs
- It does not allow you to run
del
ordir
- It does not properly escape arguments with spaces or special characters
All these issues are handled correctly by cross-spawn
.
There are some known modules, such as win-spawn, that try to solve this but they are either broken or provide faulty escaping of shell arguments.
Usage
Exactly the same way as node's spawn
or spawnSync
, so it's a drop in replacement.
var spawn = require('cross-spawn');
// Spawn NPM asynchronously
var child = spawn('npm', ['list', '-g', '-depth', '0'], { stdio: 'inherit' });
// Spawn NPM synchronously
var results = spawn.sync('npm', ['list', '-g', '-depth', '0'], { stdio: 'inherit' });
Tests
$ npm test
