Take the content of the file here :
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/darkguy2008/parallelshell/master/index.js

And put the content in your /project/node_modules/parallelshell/index.js

It will works in waiting the next release of the module

[FelixMH]

You mean that I need to replace the content or just paste it in the file before mencionated?

[edrcq]

You take the content of this : (100% copy)
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/darkguy2008/parallelshell/master/index.js

And put in your /project/node_modules/parallelshell/index.js
(100% paste)

If anyone else stumbles on this and wants a workaround that doesn't involve locally modifying the node_modules dir, you can do:

npm i darkguy2008/parallelshell#8fd83e2 

until a new version is released which includes this fix.

(EDITED to fix typo in the npm command above; thanks @ManuelOviedo)

[ManuelOviedo]

npm -i darkguy2008/parallelshell#8fd83e2

its "npm i ..." (without the dash)

[Melmoth-the-Wanderer]

Is this going to be fixed/released anytime soon? It's been for almost a yea already and I came across the bug on very first approach to this package.

[nathan815]

@FelixMH This issue should be reopened. It is not fixed.

@darkguy2008 Is this going to be released?

[saurav1423]

@nathan815 don't try to translate in English, just copy whatever it is and paste it at the told location. It will work 100%.

[Youvelop]

Thank you man!

[Nischalv1999]

its not working for me, its showing the same error! Can there be any other alternative?

[omidantilong]

Can confirm the error still exists.

The solution posted here still works: #69 (comment)

Please get this resolved!

[tombannister-94]

I can confirm that this error still exists and the fix here still works.

Thanks @edrcq for the fix.

[muhba25]

Fixed. Thanks @edrcq

[CamaraMed]

it works 100%. Thanks a lot

[Arjungowda1]

Thanks buddy :)

[kaanselhep]

Yup, I can confirm #69 (comment) this solution works as well... Its very strange but it seems nobody is actually fixing it

[ssaran2014]

This problem still exists and the above solution still works. Thank you.

[Melmoth-the-Wanderer]

@FelixMH why is this issue closed? I don't think it's fixed in package, just ugly workaround.

[TIKOsup]

@edrcq It works! Thank you!

[nathan815]

@saurav1423 A workaround isn't a fix. It should be implemented in the package itself and a new version released.

[SgtPooki]

@edrcq this is still broken. are you around?

[SgtPooki]

for those of you that want this fix to be "permanent".. check out patch-package

[bajahranks]

2021 Still not fixed.

Thankfully #69 works....

How is this supposed to work in a ci/cd build environment? Nevermind I only need it to run locally and the fix mentioned above works fine.
