Local installation of postcss-cli doesn't work on Windows

[ericselin]

Problem

Using postcss-cli from a local node_modules folder within a project currently doesn't work on Windows. The reason is that postcss found under node_modules/postcss-cli/bin is not executable on Windows.

hugo/resource/postcss/postcss.go

Line 101 in 6746826

const localPostCSSPath = "node_modules/postcss-cli/bin/"

Proposed fix

I propose to always try to find the local installation under node_modules/.bin. This should work on other environments as well.

P.S. I'm using Hugo v0.47

Any update on this? Or a possible work-around? Other than installing postcss-cli grobally? I am on v0.49.2

This still ocurrs with Hugo 0.54 in Windows 10. I agree with @ericselin that this is necessary. And since already there's a pull request, this should be put in mind.

This occurs for me with Hugo v0.55.6/extended in windows/amd64.
