How do I debug “Error: spawn ENOENT” on node.js?

Question

When I get the following error:

events.js:72
        throw er; // Unhandled \'error\' event
              ^
Error: spawn ENOENT
    at errnoException (chil         


        

Answer 1

in windows, simply adding shell: true option solved my problem:

incorrect:

const { spawn } = require('child_process');
const child = spawn('dir');

correct:

const { spawn } = require('child_process');
const child = spawn('dir', [], {shell: true});
