Error: spawnSync C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe ENOBUFS

Describe the bug Running tfsec in VSCode does provide results (thanks!), but also has an error Error: spawnSync C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe ENOBUFS in the output, and I'm not sure if it is affecting anything since I haven't used this extension before.

Here is the complete output from 1 run:

Running tfsec to update results
command: C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\tfsec\tools\tfsec.exe --force-all-dirs --exclude-downloaded-modules --verbose --format json --out "c:\Users\jwats\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\workspaceStorage\a12513ba4cd57fff989735ae9e9c3ad1\tfsec.tfsec\.tfsec_results.json" d:\Git\Bitbucket\terraform-infrastructure
Error: spawnSync C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe ENOBUFS
Reloading the treeview

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: [e.g. Windows] Windows 11
• Tfsec Version [e.g. v0.62.0] v1.5.0
• VSCode Version 1.63.2

Additional context I've tried the usual running as admin, and also some research shows the error is usually related to cmd not being in the PATH, but it is there and it is also in the system32 folder.

Hey @watsonjm - I'll take a look at this shortly, I don't get it on my Windows VM using scoop so I'll give it a go with Chocolately install and see if I can reproduce. If you're getting results then it should be okay, but would rather handle the error if possible

Hey @watsonjm - seems this error is the limitation in the buffer size for the ExecSync we use to run tfsec. I've rewritten that in 1.6.0 to use a different mechanism and stream the output to Output window.

1.6.0 has this fix and is building now
