Error: spawn netlify-cms-proxy-server ENOENT on "astro dev

[preetamslot]

Working on a Windows OS and running astro dev returns the following error.

node:events:368
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Error: spawn netlify-cms-proxy-server ENOENT
    at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (node:internal/child_process:282:19)
    at onErrorNT (node:internal/child_process:477:16)
    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:83:21)

  errno: -4058,
  code: 'ENOENT',
  syscall: 'spawn netlify-cms-proxy-server',
  path: 'netlify-cms-proxy-server',
  spawnargs: []
}

when I manually start the proxy server and comment out:

/* 'astro:server:start': () => {
                const proxy = spawn('netlify-cms-proxy-server', { stdio: 'inherit' });
                process.on('exit', () => proxy.kill());
            }, */

it works.

Oh interesting! I guess this is an issue with running an npm package from the command line on Windows maybe? I don’t have a Windows machine to test on unfortunately.

I’d be interested to see if npx netlify-cms-proxy-server in the spawn call might work if it’s an issue with finding the command?

[preetamslot]

Think that windows need a "shell = true". this seems to work for me:

'astro:server:start': () => {
                const proxy = spawn('npx netlify-cms-proxy-server', { stdio: 'inherit', shell: process.platform == 'win32' });
                process.on('exit', () => proxy.kill());
            },

Thanks for investigating! Would you like to make this change in a PR?

[preetamslot]

I can't test if this solution works on Linux or OSX, so it could potentially introduce more bugs than it fixes :P

[delucis]

I can test it on macOS and can take a look at setting up some CI tests for Linux!

Seeing the same issue on Windows. @delucis & @preetamslot is there an ETA on the pull request merge? Thanks!

[delucis]

I think #15 was going to address two separate things, so I’ve pushed @preetamslot’s simple fix for Windows as a separate commit for now. Released in v0.2.0 — let me know how you get on!

I have the same issue with Yarn (classic or stable) on macOS. pnpm works
