fix(test): make the lifecycle fixtures runnable on Windows#1265anhtahaylove wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
Four separate assumptions kept this suite from running: - the fake docker was a shebang script named "docker"; Windows resolves argv[0] through PATHEXT and cannot execute a shebang, so it never ran - PATH was joined with ":" instead of path.delimiter - --import was handed a bare Windows path, which is not a valid ESM specifier and aborted the child before the preload could patch process.kill - the private-bin fixtures were named "iii" while the CLI removes "iii.exe" there Takes the suite from 6 failed to 2 on Windows; unchanged on Linux. The remaining 2 need a production change: whichBinary() returns the .cmd shim, and spawnSync() rejects a .cmd with EINVAL unless shell:true is set. Left alone rather than widening the fix into src/cli.ts. Signed-off-by: anhtahaylove <everest.kill1@gmail.com>

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe CLI lifecycle test suite now supports Windows. It uses platform-specific binary names, PATH delimiters, fake Docker shims, and file URLs for ESM preload imports. ChangesCLI lifecycle test compatibility
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The fixture fixes substantially improve Windows coverage, but two lifecycle cases still fail when Docker is installed through a .cmd wrapper. The change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and a follow-up decision on Windows Docker invocation compatibility.

Node.js child_process spawnSync Windows .cmd files shell option official documentation
💡 Result:
On Windows,.bat and.cmd files are not directly executable as standalone processes [1][2][3]. Consequently, attempting to use child_process.spawnSync to execute these files directly will result in an error (often EINVAL) [4]. To execute.bat or.cmd files on Windows using spawnSync, you must use the shell option [1][3]. According to official Node.js documentation, when shell is set to true, Node.js runs the command inside a shell, using process.env.ComSpec on Windows (which defaults to cmd.exe) [1][2][3]. The official documentation provides the following recommended approaches for invoking these files on Windows: 1. Use child_process.spawnSync with the shell option set to true [1][3]. (Note: The documentation cautions against passing unsanitized user input to this function when shell is enabled, as it may trigger arbitrary command execution [2][3].) 2. Use child_process.execSync, which internally handles spawning cmd.exe [1][3]. 3. Alternatively, spawn cmd.exe directly and pass the.bat or.cmd file as an argument [1][3]. When shell is set to true on Windows, the windowsVerbatimArguments option is automatically set to true to prevent additional quoting or escaping [3].

Resolve the Windows .cmd launch before completing Windows support.
When where docker returns docker.cmd, src/cli.ts passes that path directly to spawnSync for Docker inspection and discovery. Node.js does not launch .cmd files directly on Windows without shell handling, so these lifecycle cases can fail. Add Windows-compatible invocation handling.

@anhtahaylove, thanks for the clarification. #1267 contains the production-code fix for the Windows .cmd invocation path and the %VAR% expansion guard. This PR can remain scoped to the lifecycle test compatibility changes.

Learning: For the Windows Docker executable path returned by `whichBinary()` in `src/cli.ts`, PR `#1267` provides the follow-up fix: invoke `.cmd` paths through `cmd.exe /d /s /c` while preserving arguments as real argv, and guard against Windows `%VAR%` expansion.

test/cli-lifecycle-safety.test.tsfails 6 tests on Windows. Four separate fixture assumptions are responsible; this PR fixes those and takes the suite to 2 failures. The last two need a production decision, described below.What was wrong
The fake docker never ran. The suite writes a
#!/usr/bin/env nodescript nameddockeronto PATH. Windows resolves a baredockerthrough PATHEXT andCreateProcessignores shebang lines, so the CLI'swhichBinary("docker")either missed it or found something unrunnable. The fake now lives underdocker-fake.jswith a.cmdshim carrying thedockername.PATH was joined with
":". On Windows the separator is;, sobinDirwas never a real PATH entry — nowpath.delimiter.--importgot a bare Windows path.--import C:\...\deny-worker-signal.mjsis not a valid ESM specifier and the child aborted before the preload could patchprocess.kill, which is why the SIGTERM assertion saw an empty log. NowpathToFileURL(preload).href.Private-bin fixtures were named
iii. The CLI removesiii.exeon Windows, so the deletion assertions could never pass. Same root cause as #1263'scli-removefix.Result
Linux unchanged — every branch is
process.platform === "win32"guarded or an identity transform.The remaining 2
deduplicates short and full IDsandremoves shared assets while preserving validated Docker recovery statestill fail, and it is not a fixture problem:whichBinary()correctly returns the.cmdshim — I verifiedwhere dockerreports it first. ButspawnSync(dockerBin, ["inspect", id])then fails withEINVAL, because Node cannot execute a.cmdwithoutshell: true:So on Windows the CLI cannot invoke any Docker CLI that is a
.cmdwrapper. Real Docker Desktop shipsdocker.exe, so this is invisible in normal use — but it does meansrc/cli.tshas an untested constraint on howdockeris installed.Fixing it means adding
shell: true(and quoting the arguments) at the fourspawnSync/execFileSynccall sites that takedockerBin. That is a production change with a real injection surface, so I did not want to bundle it into a test-only PR. Happy to do it as a follow-up if you want it.Related: #1264 (Windows test audit), #1263, #1262, #1261.
