[SOLVED] I can't run test with "vows test/*" command on windows. How to use it? node.js

I can't run test with "vows test/*" command on windows. How to use it? node.js

I've installed vows as module of my project and I've added the path "node_modules\vows\bin" to my environment path variable of windows vista.

note: I've also renamed "node_modules\vows\bin\vows" to vows.exe, because without the extension I get this error: 'vows' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Now wherever I put "vows" in my cmd in windows nothing happens, I cd into my test folder and I run "vows myFirstTest.js" and nothing happens. (when I say nothing happens my cursor in cmd is going to the top and then return to it's original position and it's doing this forever, therefore each time I try a vows command in cmd I have to close the cmd to run another command).

What I'm doing bad?

thanks

Solution

NPM is great at globally installing packages and making the executable for each operating system (UNIX-ish + Windows), so proceed with the following:

npm install -g vows
