I am creating an Atom package and trying to incorporate a ShellJS command. I want to use the exec() commmand, and it's returning null everytime, for every command.
shelljs = require 'shelljs/global'
console.log exec('which git').code // returns null
console.log which 'git' // returns the correct path
why?
console.log exec('which git').code // returns null
This tries to run an external executable named which but there's no such program. which is a shell built-in command, not a standalone program, so it fails.
console.log which 'git' // returns the correct path
This uses the shelljs which function, which is a direct analog to the same command in a shell, so it works.
