Error: spawn npm run help ENOENT

Hei,

I've been having an issue with the new 0.6.x version.

this gshell.task([ "npm run help"]) won't work anymore.

it crashes with

events.js:141
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Error: spawn npm run help ENOENT
    at exports._errnoException (util.js:907:11)
    at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:178:32)
    at onErrorNT (internal/child_process.js:344:16)
    at nextTickCallbackWith2Args (node.js:442:9)
    at process._tickCallback (node.js:356:17)
    at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:443:11)
    at startup (node.js:139:18)
    at node.js:974:3

although some simple shell commands like pwd or whoami, works fine. And in 0.5.2 this one used to work.

i'm using node v4.5.0, npm 2.15.9 on a Windows10 Enterprise Machine

What about npm.cmd run help on Windows?

I found a similar issue in nodejs/node#3675.

Yes, you are right

npm.cmd run help works. Strange. Will have to look into it.

Thanks.

I'm getting pretty much the same problem. This is my task:

plugins.shell.task([
    "ssh -L 3333:localhost:3306 " + options.config.ssh.user + "@xx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
], {
    quiet: true,
});

and the error message:

events.js:141
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Error: spawn ssh -L 3333:localhost:3306 steve@xx.xxx.xxx.xxx ENOENT

I'm on Mac OS X, node 4.4.5, npm 3.10.2

^ Had a look at the releases page of gulp-shell and noticed it required a certain version of node to be installed. I followed this guide and it now works: https://davidwalsh.name/upgrade-nodejs
