I'm afraid that I've run into this issue, too.

I'm running Node v6.11.0 on Windows 10.

[Logan]

Same for me - i get that error although i've nooodled around and tried various things to resolve.

[Logan]

I thought perhaps my node version wasn't the same as the person who create the guide? Maybe we could try to get the same version installed.

[indiana]

Same problem on Node v6.9.1, Win10.

[Janis Rubens]

Same problem on v6.10.0 Win10

pnkit init
seems to not generate package.json file as well.

Same problem here, node v6.9.5 Win7

I found where the problem occurs:
on Windows, the linux version of light-server is spawned.

in C:\Users[UserName]\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\phaser-node-kit\lib\watch.js

replace on line 125:
const lightServer = spawn('light-server', ['-s', dir, '-p', port, '-b', host, '-q'],
{ cwd: path.join(paths.cli.base, 'node_modules', '.bin'), stdio: null } )

with:
const lightServer = spawn('light-server.cmd', ['-s', dir, '-p', port, '-b', host, '-q'],
{ cwd: path.join(paths.cli.base, 'node_modules', '.bin'), stdio: null } )

@6rilme - Thanks for catching that. I will update the source.

Cheers.

[Caio Fontes]

not working on windows 7, but great project.

[Justin Friedstrom]

any resolve on this issue? Any help or work around to use this kit would be grateful thanks.

@shallowfoot @olixis @develephant It's been a while, but the fix above by @6rilme works. You'll need to apply it to the other files though, to get the rest of the pnkit commands to work.

1. Go to the folder C:\Users[UserName]\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\phaser-node-kit\lib
2. Look in files: build.js (line 42), update.js (line 22)
3. Replace line any section const npm = spawn('npm', with const npm = spawn('npm.cmd',

The fix with watch.js file above should also work.
