I'm creating an automated web app build process with node.js on windows. I'm trying to run our code through Google closure java program. I read the documentation on child_process in the node documents. It mentions it doesnt work in windows yet. Is there a package or work around for this?
Heres the code im trying to run.
var _exec = require('child_process').exec;
_exec( 'java ' + '-jar '+ COMPILER_JAR +' --js '+ srcPath +' --js_output_file '+ distPath,
function(e){
echo( "google closure done....");
echo( e );
} );

- 1 I'm wondering if there is a node package or some other work around I'm not aware of. Node is working great overall, this jar file step is a tiny portion of the overall process, and most of the team is on OSx / Linux. – Joel Commented Jul 26, 2012 at 22:49

Reset to default 15I have a web server app for controlling a queue of builds on windows XP and I used it to run batch files or executables without any additional packages.
I would check the error parameter on the callback and stderr as this may help you find the reason it does not work.
My example solution out of my server which I hope helps:
var theJobType = 'FOO';
var exec = require('child_process').exec;
var child = exec('Test.exe ' + theJobType, function( error, stdout, stderr)
{
if ( error != null ) {
console.log(stderr);
// error handling & exit
}
// normal
});
