Can't start npm via wmic

Question

If i place into bat-file command to start node

wmic process call create "npm run go","%~dp0."

everything works fine:

D:\Temp\Supertemp\wmic npm>wmic process call create "node go","D:\Temp\Supertemp\wmic npm\."
Идет выполнение (Win32_Process)->Create()
Метод успешно вызван.
Параметры вывода:
instance of __PARAMETERS
{
        ProcessId = 13292;
        ReturnValue = 0;
};

But if I use npm instead

wmic process call create "npm run go","%~dp0."

error 9 occurs, which according to msdn msdn means that path is not found:

D:\Temp\Supertemp\wmic npm>wmic process call create "npm run go","D:\Temp\Supertemp\wmic npm\."
Идет выполнение (Win32_Process)->Create()
Метод успешно вызван.
Параметры вывода:
instance of __PARAMETERS
{
        ReturnValue = 9;
};

File package.json:

{
  "name": "wmic-npm-test",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "scripts": {
    "go": "node go"
  }
}

File go.js:

setInterval(function () {
  console.log(require('process').cwd());
}, 1000);

If simply start npm from console, everything works:

D:\Temp\Supertemp\wmic npm>npm run go

> wmic-npm-test@0.0.0 go D:\Temp\Supertemp\wmic npm
> node go

D:\Temp\Supertemp\wmic npm
D:\Temp\Supertemp\wmic npm

I'm starting it via wmic to get process id.

PS: Same question in Russian.

Answer 1

There file npm.cmd and npm file for sh:

D:\Temp\Supertemp\wmic npm>where npm
C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm
C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm.cmd

To execute npm command you need to specify that you want to run cmd-file:

wmic process call create "npm.cmd run go","%~dp0."
