nexecp (node-exec-promise fork)

This is a fork from node-exec-promise.

Why a fork? Two reasons:

• the original does not resolve stderr, which I need! (git pull outputs both to stdout and stderr).
• on error, it rejects stderr instead of the actual Error object.
• well, wait, a 3rd reason! I could have issued a pull request, but since the interface changes, it would most likely break for everyone using a previous version.

This package is a simple wrapper for child_process.exec and child_process.execFile which returns a Promise.

Installation

npm install --save nexecp

Example Usage

var exec = require('nexecp').exec;

exec('ls -lah /tmp').then(function(out) {
  console.log(out.stdout, out.stderr);
}, function(err) {
  console.error(err);
});

Example Gulp Usage

var execFile = require('node-exec-promise').execFile;

gulp.task('example', function(done) {
  execFile('ls', ['-lah', '/tmp']).then(function(out) {
    console.log(out.stdout, out.stderr);
    done();
  }, function(err) {
    // handle error
  });
});
