Why it doesn't work in package.json scripts?

Onchange works with this cmd

node .\node_modules\onchange\dist\bin.js -i '**' -- echo '{{event}} to {{file}}''

But why it doesn't work in package.json scripts?

Do you have a reproduction I can use? I pretty much exclusively use this in package.json scripts so I’m not sure the error is in this module.

@blakeembrey Thanks for your reply, I found it might be because of the single quotes I used 😂

[blakeembrey]

Oh interesting, good catch. I don’t use windows often but it’d be because single quotes aren’t a quote character in windows shell. So in Unix the program would be seeing **, but windows was seeing ’**’.

I’m less familiar with the windows environment you screenshot compared to what environment shell scripts execute in. If you know feel free to comment and I can try adding the description to the README.

Edit: Reference I found online that I could link to.
