cross-spawn-async

A cross platform solution to node's spawn.

This module is deprecated, use cross-spawn instead which no longer requires a build toolchain.

Installation

$ npm install cross-spawn-async

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 or dir
It does not properly escape arguments with spaces or special characters

All these issues are handled correctly by cross-spawn-async. 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, so it's a drop in replacement.

1var spawn = require('cross-spawn-async');
2
3var child = spawn('npm', ['list', '-g', '-depth', '0'], { stdio: 'inherit' });
