Creates Error when trying to build with esbuild

[maribox]

I don't know if this is a problem of node-copy-paste or esbuild Node Version: 16.18.0, but also 18.15.0

Code:

import { copy, paste } from "copy-paste";

async function main() {
  const question = paste();
  console.log(question);
  let answer = "answertext";
  console.log(answer);
  copy(answer);
}

main().catch((error) => console.error(error));

running with npm run start:

"start": "esbuild src/app.ts --bundle --platform=node --outdir=dist && node dist/app.js",

and what i get in the terminal when running this is:

esbuild src/app.ts --bundle --platform=node --outdir=dist && node dist/app.js

  dist\app.js  542.0kb

}

It fails at "return config.decode(execSync(pasteCommand));":

    var pasteCommand = [config.paste.command].concat(config.paste.args).join(" ");
    exports.paste = function(callback) {
      if (execSync && !callback) {
        return config.decode(execSync(pasteCommand));
      } else if (callback) {
        var child = spawn(config.paste.command, config.paste.args);
        var done = callback && function() {
          callback.apply(this, arguments);
          done = noop;
        };

If I can be of further help let me know

Does this error occur on a windows machine?

It seems like error is occurring when running the command:

cscript /Nologo C:\Users\marlb\Coden\Node\chatclipboard\dist\fallbacks\paste.vbs

Any chance you could try running that command manually?

Closing as I'm not using the module anymore
