bat文件不会暂停执行

Question

I'm using a bat file to run my nodejs app in windows 7 . The bat file contains following lines,

cd "C:/dev/nodeapp/"
npm start
pause

But the bat file doesn't pause. Because of that I can't see the errors on cmd when nodejs throws errors. I tried cmd /k instead of pause , it doesn't work either.

Anybody knows a way to pause the bat file execution here?

I notice that the problem is with the line npm start . When I remove that line the pause works..!

Thank you in advance...

Answer 1

It does not pause because in windows npm is a batch file ( npm.cmd ). Directly invocation of a batch file from inside a batch file transfers the execution to the called one, and does not return to the caller. You need to use call command

cd "C:/dev/nodeapp/"
call npm start
pause

我认为这里暂停是不正确的尝试：npn stop
