Stuck on an issue?

Lightrun Answers was designed to reduce the constant googling that comes with debugging 3rd party libraries. It collects links to all the places you might be looking at while hunting down a tough bug.

And, if you’re still stuck at the end, we’re happy to hop on a call to see how we can help out.

It seems when I try to use this on windows I just get the error spawn ENOENT. I am writing a cli tool that is working fine on Linux and Mac, but not on windows.

I am still running a few tests (slowly) but right now it seems like the error is due to this library. Will update if I make more progress.

Edit: Yep, changing to https://www.npmjs.com/package/superspawn fixes the issue.

Seems to be working on Windows since https://github.com/TintypeMolly/child-process-promise/commit/8a08e9cf6134c13d481a9bb54ca2b898c2d6cadc, thanks!

It’s README-worthy, IMO.

I support the idea of making the spawn method configurable. I don’t have a Windows machine or Windows VM set up, but if someone who does wants to contribute back I would be happy to review and merge if everything looks good. Also, if anyone has any experience on setting up automated tests in a Windows environment (e.g. AppVeyor) that would be very helpful for this project. Thanks for comments so far!
