run-script-os-fix v1.0.4

run-script-os

You will be able to use OS specific operations in npm scripts.

##Note from surfncode This is a fork from https://github.com/charlesguse/run-script-os. It fixes the issue "Published index.js file has CRLF line endings, breaks Linux" (https://github.com/charlesguse/run-script-os/issues/1)

Who would want this?

If you have experienced the pain of trying to make npm scripts usable across different operating system, this package is for you! Looking at you rm and del!

Installation

npm install --save-dev run-script-os-fix

Usage

Set run-script-os (or run-os) as the value of the npm script field that you want different functionality per OS. In the example below, we set test, but it can be any npm script. It also uses pre and post commands (explained more below).

Then create OS specific scripts. In the example below, you can see:

• test:win32
• test:linux:darwin

Those can have OS specific logic.

package.json

{
  ...
  "scripts": {
    ...
    "test": "run-script-os",
    "test:win32": "echo 'del whatever you want in Windows 32/64'", 
    "test:darwin:linux": "echo 'You can combine OS tags and rm all the things!'",
    ...
  },
  ...
}

Windows Output:

> npm test
del whatever you want in Windows 32/64

macOS and Linux Output:

> npm test
You can combine OS tags and rm all the things!

NPM Scripts Order

When you call a script like npm test, npm will first call pretest if it exists. It will then call test, which, if you are using run-script-os, it will then call npm run test:YOUR OS, which in turn will call pretest:YOUR OS before actually running test:YOUR OS. Then posttest:YOUR OS will run, and then after that posttest will finally execute.

There is an example showing pre and post commands found in the package.json of this repository.

OS Options: darwin, freebsd, linux, sunos, win32
