exec doesn't work in electron

Node version:

6.2.0

ShellJS version

0.7.0

Operating system:

Mac

Description of the bug:

I am trying to run the following command (that I copied from docs) in my electron console.

Any idea, why this would be having. As I want to return the version number for checks. Other commands such as which are working but just exec

Thank you! 😃

setting exec to async seems to work.

let command = shell.exec('command', {silent:true, async:true});
command.stdout.on('data', (data) => {
    /* ... do something with data ... */
});
command.stdout.on('finish', () => {
    /* ... do something when finished ... */
});

@nfischer Hi, glad to see there is a workaround. Tried this in an electron app and got failed after throwing an error

        var shell = require('shelljs');
        let nodePath = (shell.which('node').toString());
        shell.config.execPath = nodePath;
        shell.exec('git');

May I know is there a compatible library version to make this work? Thank you
