Spawn process is working fine on linux, only on windows it

I will create a bug report.
This isn't really a bug if it is a cmd file like the other
poster said... cmd files are scripts that need to be run
through the interpreter.
shellExec probably handles it, or you could spawnProcess "cmd"
with the npm being an argument to it.
There's no shellExec, but executeShell.
spawnShell would fit better since author used spawnProcess in
original post.
Whether spawnProcess should handle .bat and .cmd is a matter of
function design really. Actually I would like to treat
spawnProcess more like double-click on application and
double-click works for scripts on windows. So there will be no
special code for phobos user to handle this case.
I found the trick. If I change args to ["npm.cmd", "start"] it
will work.
I do not know whether spawnProcess should handle npm vs npm.cmd
automatically.
Should I close the bug report?
In the beginning I used executeShell, but had some issue to stop
the started
server applications. Somehow the server applications weren't
stopped although kill and wait were executed. The same scenario
is working fine
with spawnProcess.
Kind regards
