Expected Behavior
npm test should successfully run as generated.
This error occurs because you're running a command with Linux/macOS syntax in the Windows Command Prompt (cmd).
The best and most common way to fix this is to use the cross-env library and update your test script by prefixing the environment variable with cross-env, like this:
cross-env FASTIFY_AUTOLOAD_TYPESCRIPT=1
Hi @Ragzouken ✨, I reproduced this on Windows and confirmed the FASTIFY_AUTOLOAD_TYPESCRIPT env var fails in cmd. I tested with cross-env and it works cross-platform (Windows/Linux). Would you like me to open a PR updating the generated template’s test script to use cross-env? – Riya 🌷
