如何从grunt任务中运行node_modules中的脚本？

Question

I want to simplify how our test suites can be run from the command line. So I added the following grunt-shell task to our Gruntfile.js :

module.exports = function( grunt ) {

  grunt.initConfig(
    {
      shell : {
        e2e : {
          command : "./node_modules/protractor/bin/protractor protractor_conf.js"
        }
      }
    }
  );

  grunt.loadNpmTasks( "grunt-shell" );

  grunt.registerTask( "e2e", ["shell:e2e"] );
};

When I run the task, I get the error:

'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

All the examples I found for running shell commands ran binaries which were globally accessible, but I want to start the protractor binary that was installed locally.

I'm using bash on Windows, in case that matters.

I'm working on OSX... but it should still apply for you?

I just provided an absolute path in my Gruntfile:

module.exports = function(grunt) {

    grunt.initConfig({
        shell: {
            test: {
                // command: 'sh /Users/default/Sites/dev/test.sh'
                command: 'node /Users/default/Sites/dev/test.js'
            }
        }
    });

    grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-shell');
    grunt.registerTask('default', ['shell']);
};

Which provided me with the correct output.

Some other useful tasks for similar problems I came across:

grunt-execute, grunt-run

You can pass protractor as an argument to node to invoke it, like so:

module.exports = function( grunt ) {

  grunt.initConfig(
    {
      shell : {
        e2e : {
          command : "node ./node_modules/protractor/bin/protractor protractor_conf.js"
        }
      }
    }
  );

  grunt.loadNpmTasks( "grunt-shell" );

  grunt.registerTask( "e2e", ["shell:e2e"] );
};
