Commands containing multi-word subcommands (e.g., deno task start, npm run build) were failing with "Module not found" errors. The dax-sh library executes commands directly without shell interpretation, causing deno task start to be parsed as deno ["task", "start"] where "task" is treated as a file path.

Changes

lib/core/runner.ts

  • Wrap commands with shell interpreter (sh -c on Unix, cmd /c on Windows) to enable proper parsing of complex commands, pipes, redirects, and other shell features

test/core/runner.test.ts

  • Add test case validating actual deno task execution with working directory and task configuration

Before:

let child = $.raw`${this.processConfig.cmd!}`.stdout("piped").stderr("piped")

After:

const shell = CurrentOS === OperatingSystem.Windows ? "cmd" : "sh"
const shellArg = CurrentOS === OperatingSystem.Windows ? "/c" : "-c"
let child = $`${shell} ${shellArg} ${this.processConfig.cmd!}`.stdout("piped").stderr("piped")

This enables commands to be interpreted exactly as they would in a terminal, resolving the issue for deno task and similar multi-word commands while maintaining support for pipes, redirects, and environment variable expansion.

Fixes #55
