deploy error when called from node

[jescalan]

Definitely an edge case, but I thought it was worth bringing up. When I try to run jitsu deploy from a child process in node, it throws this error:

{ [Error: Command failed: 
string_decoder.js:117
  var i = (buffer.length >= 3) ? 3 : buffer.length;
                 ^

Works fine when called directly from the command line though : )

This is happening when running jitsu deploy as a post build task in jenkins too.

@blakmatrix This is an easy fix, it's just a check for process.stdout.isTTY

[blakmatrix]

$ grep -RnHi "process.stdout.isTTY" .                                                                                                        [12:20:15]
./node_modules/.bin/vows:71:    nocolor: !process.stdout.isTTY
./node_modules/npm/lib/npm.js:297:          if (process.stdout.isTTY) npm.color = true
./node_modules/npm/node_modules/.bin/imgcat:10:  , screenWidth = process.stdout.isTTY ? process.stdout.getWindowSize()[0] : Infinity
./node_modules/npm/node_modules/ansi/examples/imgcat/index.js:10:  , screenWidth = process.stdout.isTTY ? process.stdout.getWindowSize()[0] : Infinity

[blakmatrix]

do you guys get this when you use --raw ... also do you use --confirm ?

[blakmatrix]

This happens when the depoy process shows a progress bar, I can make a check for tty and avoid this error when used as a child process

Happening when using jitsu deploy as an external tool in WebStorm too.

I made a fix for this: c00e8fe

Awesome! Thanks so much @blakmatrix - could you update/close this issue when it's shipped? ❤️

[blakmatrix]

This I believe was shipped in jitsu v0.11.6 :)
