Run multiple windows commands from nodejs

Question

When my windows server receives a post request, I need it to execute a command:

cd D:\project
git pull
mvn clean compile
cd target
java -jar app.jar -argument

I wrote the code, but it does not work:

const nodeCmd = require('node-cmd')

app.post((req, res) => {
  let command = `cd D:\project\my_project
                 git pull
                 mvn clean compile
                 cd target
                 java -jar app.jar ${req.body.arg}`;
  nodeCmd.get(command, (err, data, stderr) => {
    if(data) { 
     return res.json(data);
    }
    return err;
 });
})

Here is the error message:

{ Error: Command failed: cd D:projectmy_project && dir
The system cannot find the path specified.

Answer 1

The backslashes in your command string are not escaped. You can use string.raw to instruct the JS engine to treat a template literal as a raw string.

let command = String.raw`cd D:\project\my_project
                         git pull
                         mvn clean compile
                         cd target
                         java -jar app.jar ${req.body.arg}`;
