EBADF: bad file descriptor, uv_pipe_open on windows with ipc #137
Description
Stack trace:
Hey guys, I have a problem with child_process on windows while using ipc so I asked a question.
I found this module to solve it but the same error happens.
The problem occurs on windows, spawning something in js (e.g. npm or child.js) and with ipc option.
The ipc is required as some of the commands will be my commands and I need to communicate with it.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Thanks for help.
Code:
const spawn = require('cross-spawn');
const cmd = spawn('npm', ['-v'], {shell: true, stdio: ['inherit', 'inherit', 'inherit', 'ipc'] } ));
cmd.on('message', (msg) => console.log({msg}));
cmd.on('close', (code) => console.log({code}));Stack trace:
child_process.js:122
p.open(fd);

I have the same error using
on node 16, with nodist
I believe (in my case), that nodist is the culprit because the shim is in go, and docs says
so it probably breaks here.
a workaround is to use
forkwhich does not use the shim
