Test failure is WSL complaining about no distro being installed. Guess I have to check for that along with statting the WSL bash file. |

One problem with this: running all these bash shells has resulted in an un-deletable folder on my windows machine at |

Adding "Needs Tests" label to signal it's not ready until the clean up is ready to go 😊 |

So the locked folder thing, I have no idea why it happened. I can't reproduce it now. |

This is good now. Passes tests without admin privs, npm script shim working in all windows bashes I could find. |

1. Set the shebang to /usr/bin/env bash instead of /bin/sh (which might be dash or some other shell) 2. Use Unix-style line endings, not Windows-style (Cygwin accepts either, but mingw bash sometimes objects, and WSL bash always does) 3. Test against paths using wslpath if available, but still pass win32 paths to node.exe, since it is a Windows binary that only knows how to handle Windows paths. This makes npm as installed by the Node.js Windows MSI installer behave properly under WSL, Cygwin, MINGW Git Bash, and the internal MINGW Git Bash when posix CLI utilities are exposed to the cmd.exe shell. The test is not quite as comprehensive as I'd like. It runs on the various Windows bash implementations if they are found in their expected locations, skipping any that are not installed. Short of shipping mingw, cygwin, and wsl as test fixtures, I'm not sure how we could do much better, however. At least, we can use this test to assist debug and catch issues on Windows machines (ours or users who report problems). PR-URL: #2789 Credit: @isaacs Close: #2789 Reviewed-by: @nlf
