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
delordir - 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' });
Tests
$ npm test
