Error: "coffee: command not found" / Windows (non-Cygwin) #12

Closed skopp closed 11 years ago

Granted, Windows can be tricky, but I think this is fairly trivial. Just not sure as to how to sym-link the "coffee" command to the correct place in $PATH.

The error returned is:

...npm/md:: line 12: coffee: command not found

I tracked down the offending file as this bugger (aptly and acutely named md ):

#!/bin/sh basedir=dirname "$0"

caseunamein *CYGWIN*) basedir=cygpath -w "$basedir";; esac

if [ -x "$basedir/coffee" ]; then "$basedir/coffee" "$basedir/node_modules/html-md/bin/md" "$@" ret=$? else coffee "$basedir/node_modules/html-md/bin/md" "$@"

This ↑ seems to be line 12

ret=$? fi exit $ret

ST2 opens it as a markdown file, but it looks like coffeescript or php or perl or js or the bastard child of all of them. I will try on my side, in my fork to rewire something (and check my local env too - it could be corrupted somewhere, somehow). Also, will test on some Linuxes.

At time of error output instance,

Looking at the log in CLI, it seemed to be sailing smooth until:

The next version will include the updated version of jsdom. This has a lot of improvements but still requires some special considerations for Windows devs: https://github.com/tmpvar/jsdom#contextify

However, since this is not specifically an issue for this project I'll be closing this issue. I'm taking every precaution within my code to be Windows-compatible, but if a dependencies dependency requires some additional preparation for devs, there isn't much more I can do. That said; I may mention this issue in README.md, much like jsdom have.
