antlr4-tool在Win10中失败：错误：命令失败：哪个java

Question

Running in Win10, in an attempt to create a parser in Node.JS, I installed ANTLR4 tool:

npm install --save-dev antlr4-tool

Ran:

c:/prj/parser/node_modules/.bin/antlr4-tool.cmd -o parser grammar/Lang.g4

But received:

Compiling grammar/Lang.g4...
'which' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
child_process.js:677
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Command failed: which java
'which' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I have Java install, and I can see its location when running:

where java

But since I'm in Windows, I don't understand why the command is which and not where ...

Answer 1

To whomever gets here, it's a bug, apprently stemming from the difference between Linux and Windows ( which command in Linux is where in Windows).

To W/A it, only if you work in Windows , change the file:

.../node_modules/antlr4-tool/dist/antlr-core/antlr-compiler.js , line #98, from:

child.execSync('which java');

to:

child.execSync('where java');
