test: Verify the shell option works properly on execFile #18384

jvelezpo · 2018-01-25T20:00:40Z

Useful for executing in a shell because it accepts arguments as
an array instead of a string as exec does.
Depending on the circumstances,
that can prove to be useful if the arguments are already prepared.

This are test for this #18199
documented here #18237

Nice contribution, thanks for working on this!

Maybe we could use process.execPath as the executed command instead of ls, to avoid platform-dependency? I'm not sure if there's a platform which doesn't have ls though (maybe some older Windows version).

Awesome thanks @mmarchini i will add the change tomorrow 👍

process.env.SHELL is likely to not be set on Windows so this will end up being undefined.

You are correct mr @richardlau, i tested it on another pc running windows and process.env.SHELL was undefined.
Thanks for feedback I appreciate it.

can anyone please explain me why this 2 checks in the tests are failing??

here is an SS of the tests ran on my local.

mmarchini · 2018-01-29T14:35:19Z

@jvelezpo don't worry, those errors are unrelated to this PR

BridgeAR

LGTM in general, just left a nit.

This is a perfect place for assert.ifError.
