Building with "grunt build" ends up with an error

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I have a problem when trying to build react using the installation manual, running grunt build ends up immediately with

Running "delete-build-modules" task
Fatal error: spawn node_modules\.bin\gulp ENOENT"

I have Windows 10 x64. Running gulp creates all the modules in the build folder so I dont know. Friend of mine has the same issue.

The reason I am trying to build react is adding custom SVG elements and attributes (more https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/1657#issuecomment-47708471)

Thanks

The problem seems to be in the Grunt config: https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/master/Gruntfile.js#L31. Switching cmd: path.join('node_modules', '.bin', 'gulp'), to cmd: path.join('node_modules', '.bin', 'gulp.cmd'), solves the problem.

This bug seems to have been introduced when we switched some build steps to gulp https://github.com/facebook/react/commit/1d0c1b18170768d71105dee55cb8bbd3674f8251.

Thanks for the heads up by the way. You should be able to build now but let us know if you encounter other issues! Nobody on the team is currently building on Windows so I wouldn’t be surprised to see a couple more things like this pop up.
