how to run commands through the user shell with deno?

Discussed in #12493

I get you folks closed the original issue and moved it to discussions. But I think I have a legitimate situation here and the response to the original issue didn't address what was in question or even clarify a mistake from my part.

I don't want to be rude or bully the project team, far from it. Just really trying to get myself out of a block.

This time I added a gif in attempt to better illustrate the case.

I'm trying to build a simple CLI tool to run dev scripts with Deno. The goal is to create cross-platform scripts with type safety.

I'm not succeeding with Deno.run(). I think this is due to part of my scripts are based on global packages installed with NPM like, for example, the firebase CLI tool.

If i run something like this:

  const { code } = await Deno.run({
    cmd: ["firebase", "emulators:start"],
  }).status();

I get this error

error: Uncaught (in promise) NotFound: O sistema não pode encontrar o arquivo especificado. (os error 2)
  const { code } = await Deno.run({

Here in live:

I found some clarification in this issue about echo. But, I'm afraid if I prefix everything with "cmd", "/c", the program will tie itself to the OS. Is this a valid assumption?

Is there another API that enables us to run commands through the current shell instead of attempt to find binaries in the system directly?

I think in node this is done with something like this:

    const p = spawn("firebase emulators:start", {
      shell: true,
    });

Thanks for the awesome tool.

This is still a discussion. The issue tracker is for issues with the binary, not bug. The issue wasn't closed, it was moved and it is a "feature" that the original issue gets closed and the discussion opened. Either continue the conversation in that discussion, or continue it here, in this discussion.
