Windows spawn npm ENOENT

[galbenyosef]

Hello,
I keep getting this error when trying to open live view on single screen:

explored some around and found this issue:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43230346/error-spawn-npm-enoent

Based on best answer of the issue, these are the changes which has to be done

windowSimulator.js Lines 14-25:

if (projInfo.devServerScript === 'start') { const child = spawn('npm', ['start'], {cwd: projInfo.rootPath}); child.stdout.on('data', (data) => { global.mainWindow.webContents.send('start simulator',['http://localhost:3000',child.pid]); }); //Simulation for react-dev-server } else if (projInfo.devServerScript === 'run dev-server') { let child = spawn('npm', ['run', 'reactide-server'], {cwd: projInfo.rootPath}); child.stdout.on('data', (data) => { global.mainWindow.webContents.send('start simulator',['http://localhost:8085', child.pid]); }) }

Became:

if (projInfo.devServerScript === 'start') { const child = spawn('npm.cmd', ['start'], {cwd: projInfo.rootPath}); child.stdout.on('data', (data) => { global.mainWindow.webContents.send('start simulator',['http://localhost:3000',child.pid]); }); //Simulation for react-dev-server } else if (projInfo.devServerScript === 'run dev-server') { let child = spawn('npm.cmd', ['run', 'reactide-server'], {cwd: projInfo.rootPath}); child.stdout.on('data', (data) => { global.mainWindow.webContents.send('start simulator',['http://localhost:8085', child.pid]); }) }

Walla... now it works...

Conclusion:

Windows os has to spawn npm.cmd and not npm, which is fine for other os...
