Error: spawn UNKNOWN

[jerrygreen]

I installed hyp and tried to use ls command from the README:

hyp ls hyper://515bbbc1db2139ef27b6c45dfa418c8be6a1dec16823ea7cb9e61af8d060049e/

Other commands don't work either:

Context

Node version: v14.15.2
Bash version: GNU bash, version 4.4.23(1)-release (x86_64-pc-msys)

Thanks for the issue @jerrygreen. Are you on Windows?

[jerrygreen]

@andrewosh yup

[andrewosh]

Gotcha. Windows testing is definitely our weakness :) We'll look into this!

[jerrygreen]

@andrewosh might worth mentioning, that I used the "Git Bash" (NOT cmd.exe), - a windows-version of Bash, which comes together with git scm (which is pretty much the same GNU Bash, except it copies files when using ln commands, instead of creating symlinks, because Windows doesn't support symlinks).

Though I'm not sure if it's a problem with Bash, - also likely the problem with Node. Can't say for sure.

Fixed in 1.3.1. We were spawning the daemons by calling the .js files, which depends on the she-bang behavior which ofc windows doesn't support. Fixed by changing the spawn command to node <daemon-script>.

[jerrygreen]

Works like a charm now! Thanks

Though there are still some quirks elsewhere, for example hyp version:

Even though it installed 1.3.1:

0.0.2 is a version listed in my current folder's package.json, - if I cd into another project, hyp --version shows another version. Not sure if it's related to some Windows stuff, or what is that. Not crucial, so gonna play with this thing anyway :) Thanks again

Ahh lovely, thanks. I'll file another issue
