Missing node in spawn command on windows

[Bartvds]

When I use this plugin I get this error:

error: Something went wrong with the action
error: An error occured:
Error: spawn ENOENT
    at errnoException (child_process.js:988:11)
    at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (child_process.js:779:34)

So I looked into the code, and this line needs a 'node' command to work (as the shebang does nothing on windows):

command = [@path.join rootPath, gruntPath]

https://github.com/RobLoach/docpad-plugin-grunt/blob/master/src/grunt.plugin.coffee#L52

Then it works as expected.

(well, small detail: it needs an extra newline: the 'Running "xyz" task' message gets appended to the progress bar's line:

FooPerforming generate: generateBefore at 5/10 50% ========================-------------------------Running "echo" task
echo!

Done, without errors.

I have same error. I was trying to change this line to «command = 'node ./' + [@path.join rootPath, gruntPath]» — error message disappears, all tests passed, but actually no grunt task ran in docpad.

@Bartvds, how did you fix that? Can you make pull-request?

[Bartvds]

@InterPaul I never solved it, instead I used another pattern: instead of calling grunt from docpad I run docpad from grunt, is a lot more convenient.

[paulradzkov]

Thanks @Bartvds, I'll try the same way

[paulradzkov]

Instead

command = [@path.join rootPath, gruntPath]

should be

command = ['node', @path.join rootPath, gruntPath]

@RobLoach, This fix #12 makes version 2.1.1 (from npm) working. But version 2.1.2 from master branch still not working (for some other reasons)

[RobLoach]

@InterPaul Thanks for the pull request 👍 . Merged. Working now?

[paulradzkov]

@RobLoach No, with docpad install grunt installed version 2.1.1 without fix.

[paulradzkov]

@RobLoach any updates?

[RobLoach]

@InterPaul Passing on Linux, where does it break on Windows?

[paulradzkov]

See the original problem and the fix for version 2.1.1:

This bug reproduces on Windows only.

I will retest v.2.1.2 on Windows and let you know.

[paulradzkov]

Compiled plugin from your current master branch and checked it on my repository. There is no more error but no grunt task was executed.

See also cake test:

Update:
v.2.1.2 cake test on Mac also reports that everything passed, but actually grunt task wasn't executed.
v.2.1.1 works fine on Mac.

Hope that helps.

Plugin still not working on Windows

[paulradzkov]

I use own working build.
In package.json:

"docpad-plugin-grunt": "git://github.com/interpaul/docpad-plugin-grunt.git#v211compiled"

[RobLoach]

Hmm, interesting....

master...interpaul:v211

But when you see https://github.com/RobLoach/docpad-plugin-grunt/blob/master/src/grunt.plugin.coffee#L55 , there is already the 'node' prefix. Know what's going on?

[paulradzkov]

Actually no.
For me plugin stops working after 6cff6a7

[RobLoach]

@InterPaul Which version of node is it?

[paulradzkov]

v0.12.7

[RobLoach]

Do the tests pass for you on Windows?

git clone git@github.com:RobLoach/docpad-plugin-grunt.git
cd docpad-plugin-grunt
npm i
node_modules/.bin/cake test

[paulradzkov]

Test failed.

[RobLoach]

Thanks for posting these movies 👍 . Quite helpful in debugging. What software are you using for them?

Unexpected token ILLEGAL is an interesting one, since it is CoffeeScript. Where is basedir= represented? I can't find it in my source.

[paulradzkov]

LICEcap for screen to gif. Works both on Windows and MacOS.

As for basedir — I don't know, I'm just designer.
