Error: spawn netlify-cms-proxy-server ENOENT on "astro dev

[techguysimon]

I'm getting the following error on astro dev.

Running Mac Os Ventura PNPM is my package manager

Thanks for the reports! What package manager & OS are you using @jeremy-london?

[jeremy-london]

@delucis

Apple M2 if it matters

Mac OS Ventura 13.1
pnpm 7.22.0
node 18.13.0
astro-netlify-cms 0.5.1

I found I can run a proxy server no issue outside of the astro-netlify package, but during startup inside astro's engine this spawn process doesnt work all the way: pnpx netlify-cms-proxy-server

I got this same error. I am not sure about the solution.

Sharing the link here so that anyone can take a look and understand what's happening

Hi is there any update on this issue? I'm using pnpm as well

[stephangriesel]

Yep also getting the same, using pnpm 8.7.0.: "astro": "3.0.3" "astro-netlify-cms": "^0.5.2",

I modified the source code locally, and now it's working.

./node_modules/astro-netlify-cms/dist/index.js

- proxy = spawn('netlify-cms-proxy-server', { 
+ proxy = spawn('pnpx', ['netlify-cms-proxy-server'], {
    stdio: 'inherit',
    // Run in shell on Windows to make sure the npm package can be found.
    shell: process.platform === 'win32',
});

pnpm 8.7.5
node v18.17.1
astro-netlify-cms 0.5.4

[stephangriesel]

proxy = spawn('pnpx', ['netlify-cms-proxy-server'], {

This also worked for me
