Problem running e2e tests in Windows using the lomap templates

[labra]

We noticed that the way the e2e tests were configured was working fine in continuous integration and in Linux, but not in Windows.

The problem was this line in webapp/package.json:

"test:e2e": "start-server-and-test 'npm --prefix ../restapi start' http://localhost:5000/api/users/list prod 3000 'cd e2e && jest'",

which is using ' cd e2e && jest'. When it is run in Windows it says:

"jest'" not recognized as as internal or external command

The problem is that it is trying to run jest' instead of jest.

Solution

A solution is to replace the ' by \" as:

"test:e2e": "start-server-and-test 'npm --prefix ../restapi start' http://localhost:5000/api/users/list prod 3000 \"cd e2e && jest\"",  

The current lomap_0 repo contains the updated version which works.
