Introduction
I was playing with Steem APIs and come across this repo. It supports many categories of APIs so I think it might be useful for me. I cloned the repo locally and tried run the tests. I tried some basic commands to build the code and run tests, but they don't work on my Windows desktop.
This issue has been reported to the original repo:
Issue 314: NPM run scripts fail when run on Windows
Reproduce steps
1 Clone repo
git clone https://github.com/steemit/steem-js.git
cd steem-jss
2 Install dependencies
npm install
An error was found here when I used [email protected] version. In this version, npm install
will automatically run prepublish
script which builds the code and then fails due to the issue as described below. After upgrading npm
to 5.6.0, I can by passed this step because it does not run prepublish
script anymore with npm install
.
3 Build code and run tests
npm run build
I got error due to some platform specific commands. This is the same as the test script which can be run by:
npm test
Expected behaviour
All install
, build
and test
scripts should run without problem.
Actual behaviour
All three scripts can't be run on Windows though install
command could be bypassed by upgrading npm
to 5.x.
System information
Windows 10 Home 64bit
node: v8.9.4
npm: v5.6.0
GnuWin32 utilities are in my PATH so I can use gzip and du commands.

Thank you @sachincool! I couldn't find anything on Utopian Rules that says approved bugs are directly send to the repo. I am not a good reader at night so I might have missed it.
I did provided a fix for the issue but it hasn't been merged yet. I don't think it's a contribution.
