What is this?
This PR introduces cross platform spawning of commands. Will close #174.
The problem is Windows users need to use the
exec
command like this:If they don't, we can't spawn their original test command. What's happening is nodes
spawn
ignores windowsPATHEXT
which is kinda like$PATH
& that meansspawn
only works on Windows for.exe
files. See:Tested here: https://github.com/percy/example-percy-cypress/compare/rd/test-cross-platform
The first commit uses
cross_spawn
and successfully starts Cypress. The second commit uses0.4.0
of agent and fails to start Cypress.
