[jira] [Commented] (CB-5187) cordova-cli on windows broken for compile, emulate, run

["Braden Shepherdson (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5187?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13803042#comment-13803042 ] 

Braden Shepherdson commented on CB-5187:
----------------------------------------

This is caused by the switch to child_process.spawn over .exec. .exec passes the command through the shell, subject to the usual shell expansion rules. In particular, Windows shells know to look for .bat files named after the command. But trying to execute "version" directly with .spawn will fail. We need to use os.platform to adapt for Windows, and execute foo.bat.
