cpack error when generating Windows installer

[tijcolem]

@bstein Looks like this is still an issue when generating windows packages. Maybe it was when the CI runner was upgraded from 2019 to 2022? Take a look at this line here: https://github.com/NREL/OpenStudio-PAT/actions/runs/3340691973/jobs/5531082030#step:6:160. It's annoying this doesn't throw an error in the build. Maybe I can add a second step to verify the contents after.

I think this was related: #221

2022 did work. This was a working build looking back in the history. https://github.com/NREL/OpenStudio-PAT/actions/runs/2862855047/jobs/4539303058

More digging.

Last good windows cpack build:

I think this may have broke it

A little more info. This commit here 70bce19 built fine on Aug 19 in 35m 15s. I replayed this exact same commit just now using the same workflow and it failed. Smells like a version change caused something to break.

@tijcolem I created the branch fix-cpack-error-windows to work on this

Thanks @bstein for looking into this!

@tijcolem Of course! Fortunately, this was a straightforward issue where Windows wouldn't run the ./node_modules/.bin/gulp executable. The workaround is to use npx gulp instead, which is functionally the same.

I have opened a PR for the fix: #236
