cross-spawn Build Status

A cross platform solution to node's spawn.

Installation

$ npm install cross-spawn

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

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, so it's a drop in replacement.

Tests

$ npm test
