ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE error for Node v10.5.0

[arianseyedi]

Hello,

I am trying to test parallelshell (package.json at the bottom of this issue for ref) simply running echo commands, but I get the following:

[email protected] echo1echo2 C:\Users\Public\r\b\c
> parallelshell "echo 1" "echo 2"

child_process.js:420
throw new ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE('options.cwd', 'string', options.cwd);
^

TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "options.cwd" property must be of type string. Received type function

Thank you so much. Sorry if I was all over the place or something. I'm new to this.

@arianseyedi think this is related to this issue: #64 which I think is fixed but not released. ping @darkguy2008

Until its released you could change this: 527bf01 manually in your node_modules/parallelshell/index.js

hello
as said here #57 by @powelmaja : downgrade to 3.0.1 can be another temporary fix until the official one is released to npm (will it be one day ?)

[alexander-schranz]

@tfritsch-km I currently switch to concurrently as this repo seems to be unmaintained. There was also some discussion from the old maintainer of parallelshell to merge all this task/parallel script repo's in one see mysticatea/npm-run-all#10 so there is a list of alternatives.

[t-fritsch]

thank you @alexander-schranz for the alternatives, I saw concurrently before installing parallelshell but thought that it was too complex for my needs. That being said, my needs have evolved, and given the inactivity on this repo, I'll give it a try.

[abhijithchowdary2]

Have we got solution for the error of parallelshell??

[alexander-schranz]

@abhijithchowdary2 this package is I think not longer maintained as you see last release 2017. I would switch to alternative. As written above I did switch to concurrently which seems still be maintained: https://github.com/kimmobrunfeldt/concurrently

[abhijithchowdary2]

Thank you for the suggestion : )
